REVIEWS

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.

Ixcanul Volcano – Berlinale 65

A low key coming-of-age drama that stands between the local Mayan traditions and their bleak impoverished lives. Debut feature film by Jayro Bustamante.

Krugovi (Circles, 2013)

A heroic act during the Yugoslav war haunts the lives of the heroes. Concentric circles of fate can bring atonement. Directed by Srdan Golubović.

La Mort de Louis XIV (The Death of Louis XIV) – Jerusalem 33

Albert Serra’s cinema once again reaches the boundaries of experimentalism as he explores the historic figure (and death) of Louis XIV. Wilf Family Foundation Award at the 33rd Jerusalem International Film Festival.

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.
