REVIEWS

La Maldad (Evilness) – Berlinale 65 Forum

Mexico's most troubled political period is blended with traces of poetry and Carlos Reygadas' essence, when betrayal surpasses love in Joshua Gil's debut feature film.

Un Lac (A Lake, 2008)

An excellent example of experimental cinema that touches the verges of lyrical poetic naturalism by Philippe Grandrieux.

Tôkyô Sensô Sengo Hiwa (The Man Who Left His Will on Film, 1970)

Nagisha Ôshima is performing a requiem for Japanese New Wave and he is covering everything, from the sociopolitical changes till his own alienation that he feels as an artist.

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.

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.
