REVIEWS

Ja Tozhe Hochu (Me Too) – Venice 69 Orizzonti

Alexei Balabanov's last and most personal film. An adaptation on Tarkovsky's Stalker myth set in Balabanov's provocative world.

Viaje – Sarajevo 21 Kinoscope

Paz Fábrega creates a low-key romantic bittersweet journey where a boy meets a girl as the time runs against them.

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.

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.

Fuoco! (Fire!, 1968)

Gian Vittorio Baldi directs a piece of art that through its consistency can work on political and dramaturgical level without losing its impactful realism.
