REVIEWS

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.

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.

La Maldad (Evilness) – Berlinale 65 Forum

Mexico's most troubled political period is blended with traces of poetry and Carlos Reygadas' essence, when betrayal surpasses love in Joshua Gil's debut feature film.

A Blast – Sarajevo 20

Syllas Tzoumerkas' sophomore feature is a powerful sociopolitical drama that juxtaposes the cynicism of the troubled Greek society while the middle-class decays internally.

Eyforiya (Euphoria, 2006)

A tragic romantic story set in the immense Russian steppe. A theatrical experience told by Ivan Vyrypaev in pure cinematic language.
