Hrútar (Rams) – Thessaloniki 56

Grímur Hákonarson creates a wry subtle tragicomedy set in the rural Icelandic landscape that feels exceptionally heart-warming while touches the verges of melancholic sarcasm. Golden Alexander at the 56th Thessaloniki Film Festival.

Making a film is one of the best forms of strip-tease show that exists.

REVIEWS

Ucho (The Ear, 1970)

Karel Kachyňa directs one of the most iconic films on depicting the mentality of a totalitarian regime. Banned for 20 years in Czechoslovakia.

Algunas Chicas (Some Girls) – Venice 70 Orizzonti

A rather obscure and off beat thriller by Santiago Palavecino that is set contemporarily in dream and reality.

Marionette (2007)

Minos Nikolakakis creates a dark minimalistic tale that comes closer to reality or a dark reality that touches the edges of chilling fantasy.

Le Magnifique (The Magnificent, 1973)

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

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.
