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.

Elena (2011)

The Revelation according to Andrei Zvyagintsev doesn’t come after a terrifying future event. It is the already present moral collapse that will bring the inevitable catastrophe.

Žert (The Joke, 1968)

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

Poziția Copilului (Child’s Pose, 2013)

Calin Peter Netzer directs a powerful family drama of characters under Romania's post-communist corrupted society. Golden Bear at the 63rd Berlin Film Festival.

Force of Evil (1948)

Abrahams Polonsky suggests that entrepreneurship is not so far away from criminality and that something is corrupted in the immaculate postwar American society.
