REVIEWS

Le Magnifique (The Magnificent, 1973)

The instant cult French espionage parody by Philippe de Broca with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jacqueline Bisset.

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.

Eyforiya (Euphoria, 2006)

A tragic romantic story set in the immense Russian steppe. A theatrical experience told by Ivan Vyrypaev in pure cinematic language.

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.

Italian Gangsters – Venice 72 Orizzonti

Renato De Maria creates an unconventional and extremely minimalistic dramatized documentary that explores the most violent thirty-year criminal period of post-war Italy.
