REVIEWS

Mustang – Sarajevo 21

Deniz Gamze Ergüven creates a "joyful" feministic fairytale that explores if teen rebelliousness and sexual awareness can survive in conservative Anatolia. Heart of Sarajevo for Best Feature Film at the 21st Sarajevo Film Festival.

Il Passaggio della Linea (2007)

The debut documentary film of the Italian director Pietro Marcello is a nocturnal train journey collage through the Italian landscape.

Valerie a Týden Divů (Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, 1970)

A disturbing surreal erotic horror coming-of-age fairytale of political allegory by Jaromil Jireš marks the end of Czechoslovak New Wave.

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.

Ja Tozhe Hochu (Me Too) – Venice 69 Orizzonti

Alexei Balabanov's last and most personal film. An adaptation on Tarkovsky's Stalker myth set in Balabanov's provocative world.
