[ENG]

Werner Herzog and volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer embark upon a global journey exploring some of the world's most mythical volcanoes in Indonesia, Ethiopia, Iceland and North Korea. Speaking with scientists and indigenous peoples alike, they seek to understand the complex and deeply rooted relationship between mankind and one of nature's greatest wonders. Produced by Werner Herzog Film and Spring Films, Into the Inferno artfully blends reportage, history and philosophy into a riveting cinematic experience.

****************

It might be sacrilege to suggest that Herzog could use a more strong-willed collaborator, but this film sometimes turns into a rather misshapen cinematic essay. Nevertheless, you won't be sorry to witness the apocalyptic images of nature blazing and roaring. [Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter]

[ENG]

When a police sting goes bad, a cornered criminal (Wallace Chung) makes a desperate choice: he shoots himself, forcing the officers to cease fire and take him to the hospital. Once there, he refuses treatment, waiting for his cohorts to break him out. Caught between an obsessed cop (Louis Koo) and the surgeon assigned to save his life (Zhao Wei), the hospital is now a battleground of deception, double-crosses, and a coming onslaught of violence in this action-thriller by master filmmaker Johnnie To.

****************

A desperate cop and dutiful surgeon clash over the fate of a seriously wounded criminal in Johnnie To’s latest thriller, staged within the claustrophobic confines of a single hospital location. The promise of flashy gunplay and inventive camerawork should be sufficient to entice To’s legions of global fans and ensure solid numbers when the film opens day-and-date in China and the US on 24 June. Zhao Wei adds a touch of glamour to a cast of Milkyway regulars, headed by Louis Koo and Wallace Chung, which should also help the film extend its reach beyond To’s fanbase on the mainland. But the veteran Hong Kong director makes his audience wait for the promised fireworks, and Three’s flimsy premise never quite captures the grounded realism of Drug War or Election, or the visual flourish of Exiled or Vengeance.

[SLO]

Kriminalna drama se odvija na Severnem Irskem, kjer je detektivka Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson) aretirala Spectorja (Jamie Dornan). Bo obtoženec preživel strelske rane iz obračuna s policijo? Bo sploh kdaj kazensko odgovarjal?

Tretja sezona kriminalne serije se začne v trenutku, kjer se je končal napeti obračun iz prejšnje sezone; vračata se Gillian Anderson in Jamie Dornan v obeh legendarnih vlogah, medtem ko boj med detektivko Stello Gibson in njenim plenom Paulom Spectorjem doseže srhljivi vrhunec. Privesti morilca pred roko zakona bo v resnici zahtevalo veliko več kot le to, da ga je končno ujela. V čustveno nabitem epilogu strelskega obračuna se osebni boj Gibsonove za pravico svojcev žrtev začne s krvavimi prizadevanji, da bi hudo ranjeni Spector preživel. Bolj ko se bliža razplet vseh tragičnih preteklih dogodkov, bolj postaja jasno, da se bodo pravila smrtonosne igre mačke in miši še enkrat spremenila. [HBO Adria]

What begins as a hopeful journey to seek a better life becomes a harrowing and primal fight for survival when a deranged, rifle-toting vigilante chases a group of unarmed men and women through the treacherous U.S.-Mexican border.  In the harsh, unforgiving desert terrain, the odds are stacked firmly against them as they continuously discover there’s nowhere to hide from the unrelenting, merciless killer.

[ENG]

Leaving behind his life as a fixer for Western journalists reporting on the war in Afghanistan, Osman (Dominic Rains) lands in a small bohemian town in Northern California, living on the couch of his friend’s mother (Melissa Leo) and working as a crime reporter for the local newspaper. Restless and eager to find purpose in the context of his new life, he befriends a couple of locals—the eccentric and unstable Lindsay (James Franco) and the elusive Sandra (Rachel Brosnahan)—recruiting them to help him penetrate the town’s peculiar subculture. When Lindsay mysteriously goes missing, Osman gets drawn into the backwoods of the town in order to find him. As things begin to take a dangerous turn, Osman is forced to confront the untenable reality of his situation.

Shot with rigorous attention to atmosphere and milieu, The Fixer is a slow-burning thriller that employs stillness to create an undercurrent of suspense. Director Ian Olds adroitly exposes the larger-than-life characters who often inhabit the smallest of towns. [Shayna Weingast, Tribeca Film Festival]

Via Kinodvor

Ni pomembno, katero vlogo igramo, v sodni dvorani smo vsi samo ljudje … Michel Racine je strah vzbujajoči predsednik porotnega sodišča, nepopustljiv tako do drugih kot do sebe. Kličejo ga "sodnik dvomestnih številk", saj nikoli ne izreče kazni, ki bi bila krajša od desetih let. Vse pa se obrne na glavo, ko na nekem sojenju zaradi umora med porotniki opazi Ditte. Pred šestimi leti, ko jo je prvič srečal, se je skrivaj zaljubil vanjo. In morda je prav ona edina ženska, ki jo je kdaj ljubil.

Fabrice Luchini se iz odljudnega sodnika prelevi v sanjavega zaljubljenca, ko med porotniki zagleda svojo platonsko ljubezen (Sidse Babett Knudsen iz serije Oblast/Borgen). Mešanica sodne drame in nežne ljubezenske zgodbe je z Beneškega filmskega festivala odnesla nagradi za najboljši scenarij in najboljšega igralca.

Petindvajset let po filmu La discrète sva si s producentom Matthieujem Tarotom spet zaželela sodelovanja s Fabriceom Luchinijem. Manjkala sta le še lik in zgodba. Med pogovori sva si Fabricea začela zamišljati kot predsednika porotnega sodišča. Zdelo se mi je, da mu bosta rdeča halja in ovratnik iz hermelina zelo lepo pristajala. Ker o sodiščih nisem vedel nič, sem se začel udeleževati nekega porotnega sojenja. Ugotovil sem, da je sodna dvorana podobna gledališču – z občinstvom, igralci, dramaturgijo in kulisami vred. Tam vlada vnaprej določen red, ki kar kliče po tem, da bi bil porušen. Predvsem pa gre za svet besed, ki temelji zlasti na oralni naravi debat: kraj, kjer so nekateri mojstri jezika, drugi pa včasih niti ne razumejo postavljenih vprašanj. Na sojenju s poroto najdemo vse: človeške stiske, vznesene govore, dolga obdobja dolgčasa, trenutke intimnosti, spopade dveh nasprotnih taborov, lažnivce, protislovne resnice ter veliko vprašanj, ki ostanejo neodgovorjena. Ko je sojenje končano, resnica včasih zmaga. A ne vedno. Večinoma … kdo ve. /…/ Filme snemam zato, da bi v objektiv ujel svojo deželo, njeno raznolikost, njene jezike in kulture. Prav zato sem se tudi odločil snemati na sodišču. Sojenje s poroto je eden redkih primerov v naši družbi, kjer vsakdo sliši vse, kar je izrečeno, kjer vse kulture sobivajo, kjer se od blizu srečajo vsi družbeni razredi. - Christian Vincent

[ENG]

The title of Ava DuVernay’s documentary 13th refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.” The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis. 

************

13th ... is dense with information, and it moves fast. But it's also a story told in images, and the ones DuVernay has chosen ring not just with sadness and horror but also cautious optimism.

[ENG]

John Hollar, a struggling NYC artist is forced to navigate the small middle-American town he left behind when news of his mother's illness brings him home. Back in the house he grew up in, John is immediately swept up in the problems of his dysfunctional family, high school rival, and an over-eager ex-girlfriend as he faces impending fatherhood with his girlfriend in New York. From a script by Jim Strouse that is at turns hilarious and heartbreaking, John Krasinski's second feature is a poignant look at the bonds of family and friendship.

*********************

Actor John Krasinski goes behind the camera for a second time to deliver The Hollars, an affectionate look at an oddball family which is plunged into crisis when the matriarch (Margo Martindale) is diagnosed with a brain tumour. Krasinksi, also starring as the clan’s commitment-shy youngest son John, aims for off-beat humour laced with high-stakes emotional drama. It’s not that he fails, or that his film isn’t desperately charming as it goes about its business, but this is very familiar American indie territory, and The Hollars stops well short of innovation.

[ENG]

Australian auteur Ivan Sen’s new feature is a complex and stylish outback noir that reflects on Australia’s history with a compelling tale of its present. Goldstone sees the excellent Aaron Pedersen (Mystery Road, SFF 2013) reprise his role as troubled Indigenous detective Jay Swan. On the trail of a missing person, Jay finds himself in the small mining town of Goldstone, where he is immediately arrested for drink driving by young local cop Josh (Alex Russell). When Jay’s motel room is blasted with gunfire, it becomes clear that something larger is at play in the district. Jay and Josh struggle to overcome their mutual distrust to uncover the unpleasant truth.

Sen, who also wrote, shot, edited and scored the film, takes full advantage of the beauty of the outback without shying away from the scars it bears – both societal and environmental. With a stellar cast including Jacki Weaver, David Wenham, David Gulpilil, Cheng Pei-Pei, Michelle Lim Davidson and Tom E. Lewis, this is a taut, intelligent thriller encompassing the environment, corruption, politics, corporate greed, tradition and mythology. [Sydney Film Festival]

[ENG]

Zin-Mi is both excited and flustered as she prepares for supreme leader Kim Jong-il’s birthday celebrations. She gets all the help she needs from her well-situated parents – a factory engineer and an exemplary employee of a prosperous company. While this image of the model family might appear relatively untarnished, just like everything else in a closed communist country, it bows to the dictates of propaganda. The supervised crew were given the go-ahead to film in North Korea on condition that they wouldn’t deviate from the approved script. With the aim of conveying the reality of life in the DPRK, however, respected director Vitaly Mansky decided to leave his camera rolling beyond his prescribed shooting schedule, thus exposing the extent of the manipulation involved in staging the various events. The outcome is a formally refined piece which somewhat uncomfortably reveals the underside of an official rendering that clings to iconography, mythmaking and distorting idealisation. The film also considers the crucial value of human freedom, something that can’t always be taken for granted. [KVIFF, Sandra Hezinová]

****************

The script of this extraordinary and revealing film, about an ordinary family in Pyongyang, was assigned to the filmmakers by the North Korean authorities. The crew was accompanied at all times by minders 'to prevent us from getting lost'; the locations were pre-selected; the performances orchestrated to depict suitably fervent levels of patriotism. All the footage was scrutinized by DPRK officials to check for mistakes in showing a typical family in 'the best country in the world'. It's no wonder that the smiles start look a little forced. What's more unexpected is just how much Russian documentary filmmaker Vitaly Mansky is able to reveal despite, and often because of, the stringent restrictions imposed upon him.

Šest moških na razkošni jahti sredi Egejskega morja sklene odigrati igro. V tej igri se bo veliko primerjalo in merilo. Testiralo se bo kri in pelo se bo pesmi brez posluha. Prijatelji bodo postali tekmeci in tekmeci bodo postali lačni. Toda na koncu popotovanja, ko bo igra odigrana, bo zmagovalec mož, ki je najboljši v vsem. Na mezinec si bo nadel pečatni prstan zmagoslavja, tako imenovani "chevalier".

Suh, sarkastičen humor in hladna distanca odlikujeta najnovejšo vivisekcijo absurdov človeškega vedenja v režiji prve dame mladega grškega filma, ki pod drobnogled tokrat vzame moško tekmovalnost, skupinsko dinamiko in "krizo srednjih let". Igralska šesterica je prejela skupno srce Sarajeva za najboljšo moško vlogo.

Vselej mi je najtežje opisati, od kod izvirajo moji filmi. Ne pripravljam jih na tak način, ne rečem si: 'Okej, zdaj bom posnela film o moškosti ali o šestih moških na ladji.' Nikoli ne začnem z zgodbo, pač pa z nekaj podobami in splošno predstavo o situaciji. Po Attenbergu sem posnela srednjemetražec The Capsule. Gre za pendant k filmu Chevalier, ki prav tako govori o moči in nadzoru znotraj istospolne skupine, le da so tu vsi liki ženski. Fascinantno je bilo videti, kako se razmerja moči in želje razvijajo, če iz enačbe odstranite spolno dinamiko, ki je navadno na delu znotraj heteroseksualnih skupin. /…/ Zdelo se mi je, da bi bilo zanimivo nekaj takega poskusiti še s skupino moških, prav tako v omejenem prostoru, ki ga ne morejo zapustiti. Attenberg se je odvijal v utesnjenem okviru zapuščenega industrijskega mesta. Moj prvenec Sposojeni spomini je bil umeščen v hotelske sobe v bližnji prihodnosti. Zanima me vzpostavljanje razmerij v nadzorovanih prostorih, ki so za tri korake odmaknjeni od realizma. Nisem še povsem prestopila v naturalizem. Mislim, da zaenkrat preizkušam formo, ki ji pravim screwball tragedija – ta je deloma komedija zmešnjav, deloma grška tragedija.

Serving seven consecutive terms, Anthony Weiner, good friends with and political allies to the Clintons, was once a highly respected member of Congress from New York City, he seen as a man sticking up for the every day person. That all changed in June, 2011 when he was forced to resign in disgrace after admitting that he did tweet lewd "headless" photos of himself from his public Twitter account to women he met online, and that it was not the work of a hacker or that the photos were of someone else. At the time, his wife Huma Abedin, herself a key aide to Hillary Clinton, was pregnant with their first child, she who decided to stand by her man. Two years later with Abedin still by his side, Weiner tries to resurrect his political career in a run for New York City mayor. He realizes that he has an uphill battle not only because of the known previously tweeted photos, but that there are other lewd photos from that era that may also come to light during the campaign. Regardless of the ... [Imdb]

***********

The dizzying rush of Weiner is that the phenomenon it captures — a political culture in which candidates are round-the-clock addicts of image control — becomes, by the end, a powerful premonition of the current presidential campaign. The achievement of Weiner is that the movie shows us what that looks like — and the crushing toll it takes not just on democracy, but on reality.

Weiner uses sharp insight and untrammeled access to offer a portrait of a political and personal collapse that's as queasy as it is undeniably compelling.

Jonah Hill in Miles Teller kot trgovca z orožjem. Zabava je zagotovljena!

Film je režiral Todd Philips, zaslužen za trilogijo Prekrokana noč, po neverjetni resnični zgodbi o dveh dvajsetletnikih Davidu Packouzu in Efraimu Diveroliju, ki sta uspela podpisati 300 milijonov vredno pogodbo s Pentagonom za oskrbo z orožjem zaveznikov v Afganistanu. V filmu ju spremljamo sredi absurdnega vrtiljaka političnega sveta mednarodne trgovine z orožjem, zaradi katerega bosta obtožena za prevaro.

Dva prijatelja (oskarjevi nominiranec Jonah Hill in Miles Teller) z Miami Beacha med iraško vojno s pridom izkoriščata slabo poznano vladno iniciativo, ki manjšim podjetnikom omogoča, da se priglasijo za pogodbe za sodelovanje z ameriško vojsko. Začneta skromno, počasi začneta pridobivati vse več denarja in si privoščita življenje na veliki nogi. A kmalu se znajdeta v godlji, ko dobita posel za 300 milijonov dolarjev, prek katerega naj bi orožje prodajala afganistanski vojski – pri tem pa morata sodelovati s precej sumljivimi posamezniki, med katerimi so tudi predstavniki ameriške vlade.

Two friends in their early 20s (Hill and Teller) living in Miami Beach during the Iraq War exploit a little-known government initiative that allows small businesses to bid on U.S. Military contracts. Starting small, they begin raking in big money and are living the high life. But the pair gets in over their heads when they land a 300 million dollar deal to arm the Afghan Military - a deal that puts them in business with some very shady people, not the least of which turns out to be the U.S. Government.
