REVIEWS

Skammen (Shame, 1968)

Ingmar Bergman, in one of his lesser known masterpieces, de-dramatizes a war by transferring all its tragedy to Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow and inevitably to his audience too.

Perfect Sense (2011)

A dysfunctional dramatic romance which takes place in an apocalyptic dystopic period directed by David Mackenzie.

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.

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.

Theeb (ذيب) – Venice 71 Orizzonti

A visually impressive and highly emotional coming-of-age film by Naji Abu Nowar, set in the Jordanian desert just before the Arab Revolt. Orizzonti Award for Best Director at the 71st Venice Film Festival.
