No other art medium–neither painting nor poetry–can communicate the specific quality of the dream as well as the film can.

REVIEWS

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.

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.

El Chacal de Nahueltoro (Jackal of Nahueltoro, 1969)

One of the most important political films not only for Chilean cinema but also for the whole South America directed by Miguel Littín.

Monanieba (Repentance, 1984)

Tengiz Abuladze by presenting a grotesque realism with a touch of subcutaneous self-sarcasm managed to bury all the fears that had survived for so many years in the USSR.

Boi Neon (Neon Bull) – Venice 72 Orizzonti

Gabriel Mascaro observes the social and cultural changes of Brazilian society as genders lose their identities and when a vaquero dreams to be a tailor.
