REVIEWS

La Vénus à la Fourrure (Venus in Fur, 2013)

Roman Polanski offers a revamped verbose sadomasochistic experience that manipulates Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Seigner and his audience.

Konec Agenta W4C (The End of Agent W4C, 1967)

Václav Vorlíček created the first Czechoslovak absurd bond-esque espionage parody that still holds its cult status.

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.

Ucho (The Ear, 1970)

Karel Kachyňa directs one of the most iconic films on depicting the mentality of a totalitarian regime. Banned for 20 years in Czechoslovakia.

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.
