REVIEWS

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.

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.

Turist (Force Majeure, 2014)

Ruben Östlund dismantles the nuclear perfect iconic family as the predominant father figure fails to support his socially imposed gender role.

Italian Gangsters – Venice 72 Orizzonti

Renato De Maria creates an unconventional and extremely minimalistic dramatized documentary that explores the most violent thirty-year criminal period of post-war Italy.

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.
