REVIEWS

Klip (Clip, 2012)

Maja Miloš in her debut film is trying to visualize, through a perverse adolescent love, a without makeup reality that was created in a plastic and fake world.

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.

The Act of Killing (2012)

Joshua Oppenheimer creates a multilayered documentary that explores the Indonesian massacres by blending fiction with reality, the present with the past and surrealism with true horror.

Des Filles en Noir (Young Girls in Black, 2010)

A different coming-of-age drama directed by Jean-Paul Civeyrac and inspired by Heinrich von Kleist's poems.

Hrútar (Rams) – Thessaloniki 56

Grímur Hákonarson creates a wry subtle tragicomedy set in the rural Icelandic landscape that feels exceptionally heart-warming while touches the verges of melancholic sarcasm. Golden Alexander at the 56th Thessaloniki Film Festival.
