REVIEWS

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.

Chevalier – Sarajevo 21

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.

Eyforiya (Euphoria, 2006)

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

Aquarius – Jerusalem 33

In his sophomore film, Kleber Mendonça Filho penetrates Brazilian falsely beautified society through Sônia Braga's stunning performance.

Až do Mesta Aš (Made in Ash) – Torino 30

Iveta Grófová depicts the bleak life in Bohemia that has gradually become Germany's poor man's Thailand.
