REVIEWS

Chevalier – Sarajevo 21

Athina Rachel Tsangari tries to find Who’s the Best in General with a deadpan odd satire that dismantles masculinity and makes Greek Weird Wave to go feel-good. Special Jury Mention at the 21st Sarajevo Film Festival.

Pioneer Heroes (Pionery-geroi) – Berlinale 65 Panorama

The debut feature film by Natalya Kudryashova is a story of broken heroes with destroyed expectations that try to survive in a hostile and unidealistic present.

Am Himmel Der Tag (Breaking Horizons) – Torino 30

A true contemporary film by Pola Beck which examines real issues that the 20-something generation faces today.

Le Magnifique (The Magnificent, 1973)

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

Yuri Esposito – Venice 70 Biennale College

This is the kind of comedy film that you should await from an emerging and innovative new director like Alessio Fava.

QUOTES

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.

Je vais au cinéma... / I go to the cinema... Jean-Luc Godard, 3x3D

Soft and Hard (1986)

I've always been drawn to films made by people that don't see movies, but we have the sensation that they value films.

But the cinephile is…

But the cinephile is… a neurotic!

Kieślowski and the magic of screen

As an audience, you find yourself in a state of tension because you're in a world shown to you by the director.
