REVIEWS

La Mort de Louis XIV (The Death of Louis XIV) – Jerusalem 33

Albert Serra’s cinema once again reaches the boundaries of experimentalism as he explores the historic figure (and death) of Louis XIV. Wilf Family Foundation Award at the 33rd Jerusalem International Film Festival.

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.

Viharsarok (Land of Storms) – Sarajevo 20

A deeply emotional and visually impressive drama by Ádám Császi, that exposes the issue of homophobia in modern day Hungary.

Krugovi (Circles, 2013)

A heroic act during the Yugoslav war haunts the lives of the heroes. Concentric circles of fate can bring atonement. Directed by Srdan Golubović.

A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence – Venice 71

The best finale to Roy Andersson's witty and extremely unpredictable existentialistic Living Trilogy. Golden Lion at the 71st Venice Film Festival.
