From Kanopy:
When two paramedics are called to a series of strange accidents, they blame a new street drug. But when one’s daughter disappears, the other happens upon a terrifying truth that challenges everything he knows about reality—and time itself.
From Kanopy you can stream this 1 hour 41 minute sci-fi film.
Besides being a sci-fi film related to time travel, the film features quite a bit of philosophical discussions between the two paramedics. In fact the close friendship between the two men Steve (played by Anthony Mackie who also played Takeshi Kovacs in “Altered Carbon”) and Dennis (played by Jamie Dornan who also play to creepy success the serial killer Paul Spector in “The Fall”) figures heavily in the final brave act of self-sacrifice.
Clever episodes of time-travel accompany a genuine tale of friendship.
From Amazon Prime:
Firebird follows a handsome, soulful young soldier who embarks on a clandestine sexual affair with a charismatic fighter pilot on a Soviet Air Force Base at the height of 1970’s Communist rule.
From Amazon Prime you can stream this 1 hour 47 minute film in spoken and subtitled English.
This true story takes place in 1977 Soviet occupied Estonia as well as in Moscow. Both the love story and the details of life under Russian (military) rule are interesting.
From IMDB:
A French adaptation of the second (and much less well-known) version of D.H. Lawrence’s erotic tale.
From Kanopy:
Kino is now proud to present Lady Chatterley in a new, two-part, Extended European Edition featuring nearly an hour of additional material excluded from the film’s theatrical cut that explores the emotional and sensual borderlands uniting sex, love, and loyalty with even more intelligence, passion, and power than before. Through extra footage never seen in the US, director Pascale Ferran’s “rapturous visual tone poem” (New York Times) becomes both a highly erotic immersion into Lady Chatterley and Parkin’s passion and an equally frank and unsentimentally provocative portrayal of a marriage hobbled by war and ultimately torn apart by hypocrisy.
From KANOPY you can stream 6 hours and 5 minutes of this French adaptation with English subtitles. Actually it is 3 versions of the same film where each runs for 2 hours. Whatever difference there is between the first and the other two I could not find. Watching just the first 2 hours is more than sufficient.
When was the last time your watched a naked man and naked woman frolic in the rain? When was the last time you watched a naked man and woman in front of a blazing fireplace where he decorates every part of her body with wildflowers? Clearly this version of “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” is the most explicit and also the most photographically beautiful version I have ever seen
From Kanopy:

During this violent thriller there is never a dull moment.
- Eric Bana, as the brother Addison, is a killer through and through who also happens to lust after his sister Liza.
- Olivia Wilde is the sister Liza.
- Charlie Hunnam, as Jay Mills, is the prodigal son of the Mills family. He leaves prison as the film starts
- Sissy Spacek, as June Mills, is Jay’s mother.
- Kris Kristofferson, as Chet Mills, is Jay’s father. Chet has more or less disowned Jay.
As Addison flees the law while killing one person after another, he arrives just in time for the Mills’ family Thanksgiving. So also do Liza and Jay arrive for the dinner. By this time they are in love due to Liza’s manipulations.
Expect and ending which is violent, exhausting, and not especially happy. Worth watching!
