REVIEWS

Marécages (Wetlands, 2011)

Α highly realistic kitchen sink drama of a family's dissolution set in the rural isolated environment of Quebec's Wetlands. Debut feature film by Guy Édoin.

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.

Un Lac (A Lake, 2008)

An excellent example of experimental cinema that touches the verges of lyrical poetic naturalism by Philippe Grandrieux.

Jauja (2014)

Jodorowsky meets Tarkovsky with a touch of Beckettian minimalism in Lisandro Alonso's hypnotic meta-Western that leads Viggo Mortensen into a never-ending journey to a surreal existential void.

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.
