REVIEWS

Il Passaggio della Linea (2007)

The debut documentary film of the Italian director Pietro Marcello is a nocturnal train journey collage through the Italian landscape.

Gorod Zero (Zero City, 1988)

Kafkaesque absurdity meets Soviet reality during the years of the extremely bureaucratic Perestroika in this deadpan comedy by Karen Shakhnazarov.

Ixcanul Volcano – Berlinale 65

A low key coming-of-age drama that stands between the local Mayan traditions and their bleak impoverished lives. Debut feature film by Jayro Bustamante.

Athina Rachel Tsangari tries to find Who’s the Best in General with a deadpan odd satire that dismantles masculinity and makes Greek Weird Wave to go feel-good. Special Jury Mention at the 21st Sarajevo Film Festival.

Ruin – Venice 70 Orizzonti

Amiel Courtin-Wilson and Michael Cody direct an almost experimental documentary-like romantic film set in Cambodia. Special Jury Prize of 70th Venice Orizzonti section.
