REVIEWS

Marionette (2007)

Minos Nikolakakis creates a dark minimalistic tale that comes closer to reality or a dark reality that touches the edges of chilling fantasy.

Gorod Zero (Zero City, 1988)

Kafkaesque absurdity meets Soviet reality during the years of the extremely bureaucratic Perestroika in this deadpan comedy by Karen Shakhnazarov.

Sobytie (The Event) – Tallinn 19 Docs

Sergei Loznitsa investigates the events that took place in Leningrad, after a failed coup d’état and marked Soviet Union's end, by creating a grainy prequel of his previous doc, Maidan.

Algunas Chicas (Some Girls) – Venice 70 Orizzonti

A rather obscure and off beat thriller by Santiago Palavecino that is set contemporarily in dream and reality.

The President – Venice 71 Orizzonti

An allegorical political satire by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, that despite the initial absurdity becomes predictable and didactic in a simplistic way.
