How to make a bed

Veronika (Françoise Lebrun): [after seeing Alexandre making the bed by jumping with the sheets on top of it] Funny way to make a bed.

Alexandre (Jean-Pierre Léaud): I saw it done in a film. Films teach you how to live, how to make a bed.

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.

Poziția Copilului (Child’s Pose, 2013)

Calin Peter Netzer directs a powerful family drama of characters under Romania's post-communist corrupted society. Golden Bear at the 63rd Berlin Film Festival.

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.

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 Look of Silence – Venice 71

Joshua Oppenheimer's second strikingly profound and captivating documentary looks straight into the horror of Indonesia’s hidden past.
