REVIEWS

Ixcanul Volcano – Berlinale 65

A low key coming-of-age drama that stands between the local Mayan traditions and their bleak impoverished lives. Debut feature film by Jayro Bustamante.

Pisma Myortvogo Cheloveka (Letters from a Dead Man, 1986)

Konstantin Lopushansky re-creates the post-apocalyptic terror of a nuclear disaster on Chernobyl's aftermath as a Stalker's flip-side.

Ucho (The Ear, 1970)

Karel Kachyňa directs one of the most iconic films on depicting the mentality of a totalitarian regime. Banned for 20 years in Czechoslovakia.

La Maldad (Evilness) – Berlinale 65 Forum

Mexico's most troubled political period is blended with traces of poetry and Carlos Reygadas' essence, when betrayal surpasses love in Joshua Gil's debut feature film.

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.
