REVIEWS

Pioneer Heroes (Pionery-geroi) – Berlinale 65 Panorama

The debut feature film by Natalya Kudryashova is a story of broken heroes with destroyed expectations that try to survive in a hostile and unidealistic present.

Až do Mesta Aš (Made in Ash) – Torino 30

Iveta Grófová depicts the bleak life in Bohemia that has gradually become Germany's poor man's Thailand.

Algunas Chicas (Some Girls) – Venice 70 Orizzonti

A rather obscure and off beat thriller by Santiago Palavecino that is set contemporarily in dream and reality.

Love, Theft and Other Entanglements – Berlinale 65 Panorama

A simple story of a simple anti-hero who tries to fix his almost destined troubled life in Palestine. Debut feature film by Muayad Alayan.

Aquarius – Jerusalem 33

In his sophomore film, Kleber Mendonça Filho penetrates Brazilian falsely beautified society through Sônia Braga's stunning performance.
