REVIEWS

Zvizdan (The High Sun) – Thessaloniki 56 Balkan Survey

Dalibor Matanić makes a different post-traumatic approach of the Yugoslav wars as love has to stand in front of any inter-ethnic conflicts.

Un Lac (A Lake, 2008)

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

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.

Žert (The Joke, 1968)

Possibly the most shattering indictment of totalitarianism to come out of a Communist country - Amos Vogel

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.
