REVIEWS

Marionette (2007)

Minos Nikolakakis creates a dark minimalistic tale that comes closer to reality or a dark reality that touches the edges of chilling fantasy.

Theeb (ذيب) – Venice 71 Orizzonti

A visually impressive and highly emotional coming-of-age film by Naji Abu Nowar, set in the Jordanian desert just before the Arab Revolt. Orizzonti Award for Best Director at the 71st Venice Film Festival.

Beli, Beli Svet (White, White World, 2010)

A low-voiced drama of characters by Oleg Novković a that follows a theatrical austerity and the dramatic Balkan musicals.

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.

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.
