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.

REVIEWS

A Blast – Sarajevo 20

Syllas Tzoumerkas' sophomore feature is a powerful sociopolitical drama that juxtaposes the cynicism of the troubled Greek society while the middle-class decays internally.

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.

Des Filles en Noir (Young Girls in Black, 2010)

A different coming-of-age drama directed by Jean-Paul Civeyrac and inspired by Heinrich von Kleist's poems.

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.

La Vie Nouvelle (A New Life, 2002)

Philippe Grandrieux offers a multilayered dream-like filmic experience through the most radical experimental film of the recent years.

Trans-Europ-Express Eroticism

These black corsets, these slit skirts, these chains, these popular erotic images that I treated as you say fairly stereotypical belong, I believe, to a collective erotic material
