"Dearest Dziodzio" was filmed using quotes from letters Rosa Luxemburg wrote to her lover, the revolutionary labor leader Leo Jogiches, during her stays in Poland, Germany, France and Switzerland in the years 1893-1905. With historical photo and film montages, mixed with newly shot material, the film tries to give an insight into the life problems, the thoughts and feelings of Rosa Luxemburg. The film is enriched by the recordings of the original letters, which are read out by the director, as well as by drawings, watercolors and herbaria by Rosa Luxemburg.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
