Channel 4 - The Billion Pound Base: Dismantling Camp Bastion (2014) Movies

Posted by notbanned at Dec. 8, 2014

For eight years, Britain's biggest overseas base since the Second World War has been the powerhouse of UK and US military operations in Afghanistan, and now Camp Bastion has closed down for good. A town the size of Reading with a massive infrastructure, including an airport, hospital and fast-food restaurants, has been dismantled bolt by bolt - a huge project that faced a constant threat from the Taliban as defences and manpower depleted daily. This documentary follows the men and women assigned to the task. The huge project is being done also with constant threat of the Taliban striking at any moment. The colonel in charge of the job is not the gimlet-eyed tough guy you might expect but a cheery chap who looks out for the local pigeons. In the most revealing and blackly funny scenes, the Afghan colonel he will hand over to tours the base and grumbles to his translator about how mean the Brits are being about what they’re leaving behind. But he tells the translator: “Say ‘You have spent a lot here, thank you’.”

Genre : Documentaire

Le palais de L'Alhambra, nom qui dérive du mot arabe "Al-Hamra", "rouge", et qui est aussi celui du fondateur de la dynastie nasride, est le dernier bastion maure à tomber aux mains des Rois Catholiques, en 1492, après sept siècles de pouvoir musulman en Espagne. Charles Quint, petit-fils des monarques catholiques conquérants, fera construire son palais à côté de celui des rois nasrides. Autant l'architecture Renaissance semble massive et martiale, autant le palais mozarabe paraît léger et gracieux. Quel que soit l'angle sous lequel on le regarde, il semble replié sur lui-même : pas de grands effets de façades, pas d'entrées monumentales. C'est une architecture qui se développe depuis l'intérieur. Tout l'édifice est une confrontation de pleins et de vides, de compressions et de dilatations, qui participent à la mise en scène du pouvoir.

Quotas for women, parking spaces for women, online shopping, small talk and gossip.

In the boiler room of their recently built housing complex, the three stressed husbands create a secret refuge where they can watch football, eat fast-food, drink beer and curse the opposite sex undisturbed. When Aykut, the complex’s facility manager, discovers their last bastion of masculinity, he threatens to close it down. One thing is for sure, the men are not going to give up their little slice of paradise without a fight. Based on the stage play bearing the same name, director Franziska Meyer Price allows men to return to rebellious ladhood.
