REVIEWS

A Quintet – Friend Request – Sarajevo 20

Friend Request is trying to deal in the most detached way with the unsolved and crucial problems that the Middle East faces.

Interruption – Venice 72 Orizzonti

With his directorial debut, Yorgos Zois breaks the fourth wall as he is experimenting on how myth and art interrupt actual life. Or is it the other way around?

Stachka (Strike, 1925)

The debut feature film by Sergei Eisenstein and the first archetypical example of pure communist propaganda.

Aquarius – Jerusalem 33

In his sophomore film, Kleber Mendonça Filho penetrates Brazilian falsely beautified society through Sônia Braga's stunning performance.

Tôkyô Sensô Sengo Hiwa (The Man Who Left His Will on Film, 1970)

Nagisha Ôshima is performing a requiem for Japanese New Wave and he is covering everything, from the sociopolitical changes till his own alienation that he feels as an artist.
