Juxtaposing a person with an environment that is boundless, collating him with a countless number of people passing by close to him and far away, relating a person to the whole world, that is the meaning of cinema.

Andrei Tarkovsky

You'll rarely find a happy ending in my work.

Krzysztof Kieślowski

La télévision fabrique de l'oubli. Le cinéma fabrique des souvenirs.

Jean-Luc Godard

Hope is invented by politicians to keep the electorate happy.

REVIEWS

Antiviral (2012)

Brandon Cronenberg enjoys the affection of current pop culture towards vampirism and builds a medical horror that could easily pass by as his father's work.

Shell – Torino 30

A slow paced family kitchen sink drama directed by Scott Graham and set in the Scottish highlands. Winner of the 30th Torino Film Festival.

Skammen (Shame, 1968)

Ingmar Bergman, in one of his lesser known masterpieces, de-dramatizes a war by transferring all its tragedy to Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow and inevitably to his audience too.

A Quintet – Friend Request – Sarajevo 20

Friend Request is trying to deal in the most detached way with the unsolved and crucial problems that the Middle East faces.

Hrútar (Rams) – Thessaloniki 56

Grímur Hákonarson creates a wry subtle tragicomedy set in the rural Icelandic landscape that feels exceptionally heart-warming while touches the verges of melancholic sarcasm. Golden Alexander at the 56th Thessaloniki Film Festival.
