Ingmar Bergman’s Dreams

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

REVIEWS

Ruin – Venice 70 Orizzonti

Amiel Courtin-Wilson and Michael Cody direct an almost experimental documentary-like romantic film set in Cambodia. Special Jury Prize of 70th Venice Orizzonti section.

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.

Kreditis Limiti (Line of Credit) – Venice 71 Orizzonti

Salomé Alexi is dealing with the sensitive issue of financial crisis in the post-Soviet Georgian society seen from a female point of view.

The President – Venice 71 Orizzonti

An allegorical political satire by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, that despite the initial absurdity becomes predictable and didactic in a simplistic way.

Shell – Torino 30

A slow paced family kitchen sink drama directed by Scott Graham and set in the Scottish highlands. Winner of the 30th Torino Film Festival.
