Suntan – Jerusalem 33

Argyris Papadimitropoulos’ third feature film is a bleak and bittersweet cul-de-sac set under the glaring Aegean sun.

Comedy, Sarajevo 2015, Tallinn 2015, Thessaloniki 2015

Athina Rachel Tsangari tries to find Who’s the Best in General with a deadpan odd satire that dismantles masculinity and makes Greek Weird Wave to go feel-good. Special Jury Mention at the 21st Sarajevo Film Festival.

REVIEWS

A Quintet – Friend Request – Sarajevo 20

Friend Request is trying to deal in the most detached way with the unsolved and crucial problems that the Middle East faces.

Artă (Art) – Venice 71 Orizzonti

A sharp reenacted mockumentary by Adrian Sitaru, that watches from a humorous perspective the rightfulness to abuse people for the sake of art.

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.

A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence – Venice 71

The best finale to Roy Andersson's witty and extremely unpredictable existentialistic Living Trilogy. Golden Lion at the 71st Venice Film Festival.

Beli, Beli Svet (White, White World, 2010)

A low-voiced drama of characters by Oleg Novković a that follows a theatrical austerity and the dramatic Balkan musicals.
