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.

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.

Zvizdan (The High Sun) – Thessaloniki 56 Balkan Survey

Dalibor Matanić makes a different post-traumatic approach of the Yugoslav wars as love has to stand in front of any inter-ethnic conflicts.

Ja Tozhe Hochu (Me Too) – Venice 69 Orizzonti

Alexei Balabanov's last and most personal film. An adaptation on Tarkovsky's Stalker myth set in Balabanov's provocative world.

Hrútar (Rams) – Thessaloniki 56

Grímur Hákonarson creates a wry subtle tragicomedy set in the rural Icelandic landscape that feels exceptionally heart-warming while touches the verges of melancholic sarcasm. Golden Alexander at the 56th Thessaloniki Film Festival.
