REVIEWS

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.

Kreditis Limiti (Line of Credit) – Venice 71 Orizzonti

Salomé Alexi is dealing with the sensitive issue of financial crisis in the post-Soviet Georgian society seen from a female point of view.

Valerie a Týden Divů (Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, 1970)

A disturbing surreal erotic horror coming-of-age fairytale of political allegory by Jaromil Jireš marks the end of Czechoslovak New Wave.

Saul Fia (Son of Saul) – Sarajevo 21

László Nemes masterfully recreates a Holocaust Inferno where you can’t escape and the only way to survive is through death. Special Jury Prize at the 21st Sarajevo Film Festival.

La Vie Nouvelle (A New Life, 2002)

Philippe Grandrieux offers a multilayered dream-like filmic experience through the most radical experimental film of the recent years.
