REVIEWS

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dallas Buyers Club (2013)

A film of marginal pairs’ balance that move among realism and fantasy, hope and disillusionment, justice and injustice, heterosexuality and homosexuality, AIDS and life.
