REVIEWS

Perfect Sense (2011)

A dysfunctional dramatic romance which takes place in an apocalyptic dystopic period directed by David Mackenzie.

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.

Italian Gangsters – Venice 72 Orizzonti

Renato De Maria creates an unconventional and extremely minimalistic dramatized documentary that explores the most violent thirty-year criminal period of post-war Italy.

Žert (The Joke, 1968)

Possibly the most shattering indictment of totalitarianism to come out of a Communist country - Amos Vogel

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.
