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.

Chevalier – Sarajevo 21

Athina Rachel Tsangari tries to find Who’s the Best in General with a deadpan odd satire that dismantles masculinity and makes Greek Weird Wave to go feel-good. Special Jury Mention at the 21st Sarajevo Film Festival.

Theeb (ذيب) – Venice 71 Orizzonti

A visually impressive and highly emotional coming-of-age film by Naji Abu Nowar, set in the Jordanian desert just before the Arab Revolt. Orizzonti Award for Best Director at the 71st Venice Film Festival.

Saul Fia (Son of Saul) – Sarajevo 21

László Nemes masterfully recreates a Holocaust Inferno where you can’t escape and the only way to survive is through death. Special Jury Prize at the 21st Sarajevo Film Festival.

Žert (The Joke, 1968)

Possibly the most shattering indictment of totalitarianism to come out of a Communist country - Amos Vogel
