REVIEWS

Ana Yurdu (Motherland) – Thessaloniki 56 Balkan Survey

Senem Tüzen explores if Motherland could be the place of reconciliation of past and present in an ongoing love-hate relationship between a mother and her daughter.

Tôkyô Sensô Sengo Hiwa (The Man Who Left His Will on Film, 1970)

Nagisha Ôshima is performing a requiem for Japanese New Wave and he is covering everything, from the sociopolitical changes till his own alienation that he feels as an artist.

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.

Antiviral (2012)

Brandon Cronenberg enjoys the affection of current pop culture towards vampirism and builds a medical horror that could easily pass by as his father's work.

Un Lac (A Lake, 2008)

An excellent example of experimental cinema that touches the verges of lyrical poetic naturalism by Philippe Grandrieux.
