REVIEWS

Skammen (Shame, 1968)

Ingmar Bergman, in one of his lesser known masterpieces, de-dramatizes a war by transferring all its tragedy to Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow and inevitably to his audience too.

Ikarie XB-1 (Voyage to the End of the Universe, 1963)

The pioneering Czechoslovak science fiction film by Jindrich Polák, based on Stanislaw Lem's The Magellanic Cloud.

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.

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.

Ana Yurdu (Motherland) – Thessaloniki 56 Balkan Survey

Senem Tüzen explores if Motherland could be the place of reconciliation of past and present in an ongoing love-hate relationship between a mother and her daughter.
