[ENG]


Steve Coogan and Garion Dowds put on two great performances in this searing courtroom drama based on true events from a 1987 case in South Africa. Dowds plays Leon, a teenage prison guard who is thrust into a major role in the hanging of up to seven inmates a day in South Africa’s apartheid-corrupt prison. After a road rage incident, in which he guns down a van full of strangers, he finds himself on trial facing the death penalty. Anti-death penalty lawyer John Weber (Coogan) takes on his defense in an attempt to discredit a system that abuses power and corrupts the minds of the young and powerless like Leon. SHEPHERDS AND BUTCHERS doesn’t flinch from the reality of the situation. The film never tries to make Leon an innocent bystander. Instead the story paints him as someone who did horrible things, showing the effects those actions had on him. While set 30 years ago in a different country, one can’t help but see the ripples of this intense scene play out in many cases here at home today. This film dares to bring up the emotional stress brought on by capital punishment for everyone involved. -CIFF

[ENG]


UNCERTAIN is a visually stunning and disarmingly funny portrait of the literal and figurative troubled waters of Uncertain, Texas. In a 94-resident town so tucked away “you’ve got to be lost to find it”, three Uncertain men make their own bids for survival looking to find a more certain future. An ex-convict obsessed with Mr. Ed, a gigantic boar he hunts in order to stay on the straight and narrow. A young idealist with big plans but few prospects looking for a bigger life. And an aging fisherman learning to let go of his youthful ways, and making peace with a fateful moment thirty years ago. All the while Uncertain’s vast, swampy lake is being choked by an aquatic weed, upsetting the natural balance and the town’s only source of livelihood. From award-winning director’s Ewan McNicol and Anna Sandilands, UNCERTAIN is an outstanding feature debut capturing a vivid cast of characters as compelling as any fiction. -Vimeo

[SLO]

Sivolasi Brad Pitt je prekaljeni 4-zvezdični general Glen McMahon, utelešena samodisciplina in vzorni prototip ameriškega odločnega duha (fiktivna inačica upokojenega generala Stanleyja A. McChrystala, ki je avtorju služil za model tega lika), ki naj bi v obubožani puščavski državi vzpostavil red, potem ko je njegovemu predhodniku to spodletelo. Priljubljeni vojskovodja in njegov štab pribočnikov hitro ugotovijo, da je njihova vloga v resnici protislovno administrativne in formalistične narave: proti komu naj bi se pravzaprav borili? Domorodce je težko prepričati, da so njihovi zavojevalci "dobri fantje" s hvalevrednimi nameni. Resnična bitka bo potekala na fronti zahrbtnih diplomatov, oportunističnih koalicijskih sil in hinavskih politikov; predsednik Obama pa za vrhovnega poveljnika sil v Afganistanu preprosto ne najde časa, saj je polno zaposlen z domačimi zadevami in volilnimi obljubami. Kako naj odpadniški vojščak in očetovski lik 'Glenimal' McMahon povzdigne moralo svojih čedalje bolj otopelih, zmedenih mož? - Filmoljub

[ENG]

An absurdist war story for our times, writer-director David Michôd recreates a U.S. General’s roller-coaster rise and fall as part reality, part savage parody – raising the specter of just where the line between them lies today. His is an exploration of a born leader’s ultra-confident march right into the dark heart of folly. At the story’s core is Brad Pitt’s sly take on a successful, charismatic four-star general who leapt in like a rock star to command NATO forces in Afghanistan, only to be taken down by a journalist’s no-holds-barred exposé.

Igrajo: Steve Oram, Catherine Walker, Susan Loughnane

[ENG]


Sophia is grief-stricken, overwhelmed with sadness since the untimely death of her child. In a desperate attempt to achieve some form of closure, she reaches out to Solomon, an occultist with experience in an ancient invocation ritual that Sophia believes will allow her to make contact with her deceased child. Locked away in a remote country house, the disparate pair undergo the long and arduous incantation process, risking both their mental and physical safety as they attempt to access a world beyond our understanding. Both an exhaustive and intense study of ceremonial magic, and an affecting exploration of the paralysing nature of grief, Liam Gavin’s striking chamber piece defies easy categorisation. In an eye-opening departure from the comic roles for which he is best known, Steve Oram makes for an impressively overbearing occult practitioner, while the superb Catherine Walker provides the film’s gut-wrenching emotional backbone as a mother driven to desperate measures.

"Vprašati se moraš: kaj je to osebo pripeljalo sem?" izreče stranski lik na začetku filma. Gre pravzaprav za vprašanje,ki odzvanja v vseh najboljših Egoyanovih filmih, a v Eksotiki ima še dodaten, bolj dobeseden pomen, saj se velik del filma dogaja v strip klubu, ki pa ga junak filma ne obiskuje zaradi običajnih razlogov. Ker je Egoyan mojster v strateškem zadrževanju informacij, gledalec potrebuje precej časa, da ugotovi, kaj se pravzprav dogaja, in še več časa je potrebnega, da se številne niti zgodbe združijo. In ko končno se, se Eksotika izkaže za pretresljivo katarzično raziskovanje posledic tragedije in načinov, na katere se ljudje poskušamo spopadati z neobvladljivo žalostjo. -Kinoteka

Neil (Michael Johnston) is an introverted, questioning high school freshman. Lacking any friends IRL, his main social outlet is the steamy fan fiction he writes about Vanguard, the brawny, galaxy-hopping hero of a popular sci-fi franchise. When his stories are exposed in class Neil is mortified, but the slightly older, effortlessly cool Julia (Hannah Marks) comes to his defense. An erotic fan fic writer herself, Julia pushes Neil to publish his stories to an online "adult" forum, where they quickly grab the attention of the site moderator, Denis (Michael Ian Black). When Neil is invited to present his work at a comic con live-read event, he has to face the fact that Denis' interest in him may be more than simply professional... perhaps like his own feelings for Julia.

Via Liffe


Zastavonoša francoskega LGBT filma Alain Guiraudie nam po izvrstnem Tujcu z jezera tokrat postreže z zelo drugačnim, izrazito antifeminističnim pogledom na starševstvo. 

Filmski režiser Leo na jugu Francije išče volka za svoj naslednji film. Med enim izmed ogledov se zaplete v razmerje s pastirko Marie, ki mu devet mesecev pozneje rodi otroka. Marie nato trpi za poporodno depresijo in izgubi vero v Lea, ki nenehno odhaja in prihaja, zato nenadoma zapusti moža in otroka. Leo se znajde povsem sam z otrokom, za katerega mora zdaj skrbeti brez ženske pomoči. Ni mu lahko, a globoko v sebi so mu razmere povsem pogodu. Po zaporedju nepričakovanih in nenavadnih srečanj, v katerih išče navdih za svoj naslednji film, Leo stori vse, kar je treba, da se obdrži na nogah. 


"Moški in ženske. Pravzaprav nikoli nisem snemal ničesar drugega; zgodbe o ljudeh, ki so skupaj sami. Hotel sem preobrniti podobo 'samohranilca', prikazati, da obstajajo moški, ki sami vzgajajo otroka, morda ker si tega želijo, prav tako kot ženske, ki nikogar več ne osupnejo z odločitvijo, da bodo imele otroka same. Ali navsezadnje ni to cilj filmskega junaka? Vzgajati otroka brez težav, ki jih prinašajo matere? /.../ Vedno pravijo 'vse zgodbe so že povedane', vendar se ne strinjam: vsaj Ostati pokončen je značilen primer zgodbe, ki je v kinu nikoli ne vidite." (Alain Guiraudie)

[ENG]

Via Liffe


Torchbearer of the French LGBT cinema who has gripped audiences with his brilliant Stranger by the Lake, Alain Guiraudie's latest picture is an alternative, expressly antifeminist take on parenthood. 

Filmmaker Leo is searching for a wolf in the south of France. During a scouting excursion he is seduced by Marie, a free-spirited shepherdess. Nine months later she gives birth to their child. Suffering from post-natal depression and with no faith in Leo, who comes and goes without warning, Marie abandons both of them. Leo finds himself alone, with a baby to care for. It's not easy, but deep down, he loves it. Through a series of unexpected and unusual encounters, struggling to find inspiration for his next film, Leo will do whatever it takes to stay standing.

"Men and women. I've never really filmed anything else; the stories of people who are alone together. And I wanted to invert the image of the 'single parent', to show that there are cases where men raise a baby on their own - maybe because they want to - exactly like a woman, who no longer shocks anyone by having a baby on her own. In the final count, is that not what the film's hero was after? To have the child without the hassle of the mother? /.../ They always say "all the stories have been told," but I disagree: Staying Vertical, at least, is typical of the kind of story you never see in cinema."

The latest Netflix true-crime series to take the world by storm is The Keepers, a seven-part series focused on the unsolved murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik.
Baltimore nun Cesnik was murdered at the age of 26 in 1969 and, to this day, both the identity of her killer and cause of death have been shrouded in secrecy.
Viewers have been stunned by the twists and turns of the investigation that was spearheaded by Gemma Hoskins and Abbie Schaub, two former students of Archbishop Keough, the school where Cesnik taught at the time of her death.
Many articles have gone so far as claimed that the Ryan White-directed series is even superior to Netflix's other true crime sensation, Making a Murderer.

Storil bi vse, da bi jo navdušil in osvojil. Kmalu skoraj ves svoj čas zabija med popivanjem, nebrzdano zabavo in naposled mečkanjem z Anno.

[ENG]


The setting is the often starkly beautiful Badlands of South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation; most of the key players are young Lakota Native Americans who attend Little Wound High School. Johnny and his preteen sister, Jashaun, spend time on horseback when they're not selling illegal liquor or tattoo-designed apparel. Director Chloé Zhao captures the subtleties of a marginalized existence in which the historic culture of a people can't compete on a level playing field with the modern problems of poverty, alcoholism, and violence. Amazingly, she embroiders her tale with moments of breathtaking natural beauty that offset the despair her characters struggle against. SONGS is an auspicious debut feature from a director whose superb eye is informed by the sophisticated and nuanced compassion she brings to her story. -Synopsis courtesy of Film Forum

[ENG]


Based on case studies of former child soldiers, Sékou Traoré's feature finds a young lawyer, Emma Tou (Maimouna N'Diaye), reluctantly accepting to defend a recently captured fugitive in what her boss has dubbed "The Trial of the Century." Determined to ensure her defendant sees a fair trial amid the media circus, Emma visits the chilling Blackshouam Vila (brilliantly played by Fargass Assandé in a performance reminiscent of The Silence of the Lambs) and works to earn his trust to break his self-imposed silence. As Vila, no longer a child but grown into a grizzled man of middle age, begins to share his history, Emma uncovers the psychological terrors of a youth brainwashed to commit crimes who has grown into a man vacillating between celebrating his atrocities and complaining of his horrific nightmares, haunted by his unfortunate victims. The further Emma digs, the more she finds that implicates government officials in facilitating Vila's murderous rampage. Setting the stage for a showdown in court, Emma is locked in a complicated search for truth in which hero and villain are only shades of gray. Traoré's filmmaking affords his actors an incredible showcase, keeping the tech simple but ratcheting up the tension to its final chilling image. -siff
