Prix Suisse by Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard acceptance speech (?) of the Prix Suisse award for his contribution on the Swiss cinema, a cinema that doesn’t actually exist!

It’s very strange to give a Swiss cinema award, because there is no Swiss Cinema.

REVIEWS

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.

Magdanas Lurja (Magdana’s Donkey, 1955)

The debut film by Tengiz Abuladze and Rezo Chkheidze is a rural period neorealistic drama set in 19th century Georgia.

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.

Three Windows and a Hanging (Tri Dritare dhe një Varje) – Sarajevo 20

Isa Quosja directs a slow burning drama that is dealing with one of the most delicate and tabu issues in modern post-war Kosovo.

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.
