REVIEWS

La Vénus à la Fourrure (Venus in Fur, 2013)

Roman Polanski offers a revamped verbose sadomasochistic experience that manipulates Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Seigner and his audience.

The President – Venice 71 Orizzonti

An allegorical political satire by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, that despite the initial absurdity becomes predictable and didactic in a simplistic way.

Des Filles en Noir (Young Girls in Black, 2010)

A different coming-of-age drama directed by Jean-Paul Civeyrac and inspired by Heinrich von Kleist's poems.

Piccola Patria (Small Homeland) – Venice 70 Orizzonti

A typical rural kitchen sink drama in the industrialized Italian region of Veneto that now faces the economical crisis. Directed by Alessandro Rossetto.

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.
