REVIEWS

The Act of Killing (2012)

Joshua Oppenheimer creates a multilayered documentary that explores the Indonesian massacres by blending fiction with reality, the present with the past and surrealism with true horror.

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.

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.

Artă (Art) – Venice 71 Orizzonti

A sharp reenacted mockumentary by Adrian Sitaru, that watches from a humorous perspective the rightfulness to abuse people for the sake of art.

Kaigenrei (Coup D’État, 1973)

The third and final film of Yoshishige Yoshida's political trilogy that marked the Japanese New Wave.

QUOTES

John Cassavetes on Art

Art, meaning that we will enjoy ourselves and express ourselves freely.

Cœur Fidèle vs. Boy Meets Girl

Jean Epstein’s visual poetic realism meets Leos Carax's abstract elegiac poem

Pasolini on Hope

Hope is invented by politicians to keep the electorate happy.

Leos Carax and his island

I like cinema. I don’t like cinephilia. I don’t care so much about film.

Grandrieux on his films

I don’t think in terms of stories. To me, these films are objects. They're plastic. They're formed.
