REVIEWS

A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence – Venice 71

The best finale to Roy Andersson's witty and extremely unpredictable existentialistic Living Trilogy. Golden Lion at the 71st Venice Film Festival.

Boy Meets Girl (1984)

The first masterfully structured abstract elegiac work by Leos Carax as he becomes French cinema's most acknowledged enfant terrible.

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.

Ixcanul Volcano – Berlinale 65

A low key coming-of-age drama that stands between the local Mayan traditions and their bleak impoverished lives. Debut feature film by Jayro Bustamante.

Yuri Esposito – Venice 70 Biennale College

This is the kind of comedy film that you should await from an emerging and innovative new director like Alessio Fava.
