REVIEWS

Tôkyô Sensô Sengo Hiwa (The Man Who Left His Will on Film, 1970)

Nagisha Ôshima is performing a requiem for Japanese New Wave and he is covering everything, from the sociopolitical changes till his own alienation that he feels as an artist.

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.

Tharlo – Venice 72 Orizzonti

Pema Tseden depicts through a visually immaculate and lyrical slow burning film, how rough is to search for your own inner hidden identity.

Possibly the most shattering indictment of totalitarianism to come out of a Communist country - Amos Vogel
