REVIEWS

Love, Theft and Other Entanglements – Berlinale 65 Panorama

A simple story of a simple anti-hero who tries to fix his almost destined troubled life in Palestine. Debut feature film by Muayad Alayan.

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.

Piccola Patria (Small Homeland) – Venice 70 Orizzonti

A typical rural kitchen sink drama in the industrialized Italian region of Veneto that now faces the economical crisis. Directed by Alessandro Rossetto.

Elena (2011)

The Revelation according to Andrei Zvyagintsev doesn’t come after a terrifying future event. It is the already present moral collapse that will bring the inevitable catastrophe.

The President – Venice 71 Orizzonti

An allegorical political satire by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, that despite the initial absurdity becomes predictable and didactic in a simplistic way.
