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.

Pisma Myortvogo Cheloveka (Letters from a Dead Man, 1986)

Konstantin Lopushansky re-creates the post-apocalyptic terror of a nuclear disaster on Chernobyl's aftermath as a Stalker's flip-side.

Le Magnifique (The Magnificent, 1973)

The instant cult French espionage parody by Philippe de Broca with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jacqueline Bisset.

Io e Te (Me and You, 2012)

Bernardo Bertolucci is directing again and his last film Io e Te is an adolescent emotional drama that can still impress the fans of the Italian director.

Jauja (2014)

Jodorowsky meets Tarkovsky with a touch of Beckettian minimalism in Lisandro Alonso's hypnotic meta-Western that leads Viggo Mortensen into a never-ending journey to a surreal existential void.
