[SLO]

Zgodba v štirih časovno nelinearnih tarantinovskih dejanjih — svetopisemsko naslovljenih Razodetje, Eksodus, Geneza in Povračilo — spremlja nemo protagonistko (Dakota Fanning) na ameriškem divjem zahodu v 19. stoletju, ki v svoji vaški skupnosti dela kot porodničarka. (Namig: resnična srednjeveška čarovniška gonja je bila s paranojo ogrožene cerkvene dogme usmerjena prav zoper babice, zdravilke, zeliščarke in druge izobražene ženske.) Ko se nekoč zapleteni porod tragično izjalovi, se začne kot zlovešča senca nadnjo zgrinjati temačna preteklost, utelešena v srhljivem novem duhovniku (Guy Pearce). Skrivnostni tujec jo preganja že dolgo in nikakor ne bo odnehal, dokler je ne kaznuje za grehe zoper spodobnost in Boga. Kaj tako neodpustljivega je zagrešila kot mlado dekle? In kdo je surovi kalvinistični pridigar z brazgotino: božji mož ali neusmiljeni brezvestnež, ki ji bo s srdom maščevalnega boga pokazal, kaj je to pekel na zemlji?

A triumphant epic of survival and a tale of powerful womanhood and resistance against the unforgiving cruelty of a hell on earth. Our heroine is Liz (Dakota Fanning), carved from the beautiful wilderness, full of heart and grit, hunted by a vengeful Preacher (Guy Pearce) - a diabolical zealot and her twisted nemesis. But Liz is a genuine survivor; she's no victim - a woman of fearsome strength who responds with astonishing bravery to claim the better life she and her daughter deserve. Fear not. Retribution is coming. -Anonymous @Imdb

[SLO]

Zanos romunskega novega vala ne pojenja: Radu Muntean v svojem novem filmu o boju moškega z vestjo po umoru, ki mu je bil priča.

Petrascu je moški v petdesetih letih, o katerem v prvi uri filma izvemo komajda kaj več od njegovega priimka. Preprosto je človek, na katerega se vsi lahko zanesejo. Nekega jutra med hojo po stopnicah iz sosednjega stanovanja sliši, da se je za vrati vnel hud prepir med žensko in moškim. Ko vse potihne, iz stanovanja izstopi Vali, sosed iz drugega nadstropja. Petrascu mu brez pomisleka prikima in molče odkoraka v svoje stanovanje. Med dnevnimi opravili opazi, da so se pred vhodom v stavbo začeli zbirati sosedje in policija. Laura, mlada ženska iz drugega nadstropja, je umrla za posledicami močnega udarca v glavo.

"Kinematografski jezik, ki sem ga uporabil v večini svojih filmov, opisujejo kot minimalističen. Strinjam se, da rad ustvarjam filmske strukture z minimalnimi sredstvi in si prizadevam, da je mojo pripovedniško navzočnost čim manj čutiti. Menim, da je gledalce treba zapeljati, ne zmanipulirati; privesti jih je treba do točke, ko se približajo zgodbi, zberejo podatke iz sestavljanke v filmu z občutkom, da sami gradijo pripovedno zgradbo." (Radu Muntean)

[ENG]

Patrascu is in his 50s. The first hour of the film doesn’t even reveal his first name. He is simply a man everybody can depend upon. One morning, as he climbs the stairs home, Patrascu hears a violent conflict between a woman and a man from inside one of the apartments. The noise in the apartment suddenly stops, and out comes Vali, his second­floor neighbour. Patrascu gives an automatic nod and wordlessly walks up the stairs to his apartment. While performing his household chores Patrascu is surprised to see neighbours and police swarming around the building entrance. Laura, the young woman from the second floor, was found dead, following a blow to the head.

One day, young Frenchman Adrien, a young Frenchman (Pierre Niney) also lays flowers at the grave. His presence so soon after the German defeat ignites passions.

It’s a heady hall of mirrors that keeps revealing, or at least suggesting new depths and angles. But while this kind of intense creative exercise no doubt deserves respect, ultimately one has the uneasy sense that things don’t really add up. - The Film Stage,  Zhuo-Ning Su

[ENG]

This chilling fable about the rise of fascism in the 20th Century tells the story of a young American boy living in France in 1918 whose father is working for the US government on the creation of the Treaty of Versailles. What he witnesses helps to mould his beliefs - and we witness the birth of a terrifying ego. Loosely inspired by the early childhood experiences of many of the great dictators of the 20th Century and infused with the same sense of dread as The Others and The Omen, The Childhood of a Leader is an ominous portrait of emerging evil.

Alternating immense bombast with long stretches of longueur in its psychologically questionable evocation of the formative years of a future despot, the film is formally confident, stylistically inventive and intensely irritating. - The Playlist, Jessica Kiang

[SLO]

Nekega poznega večera se na vratih ordinacije mlade zdravnice Jenny oglasi zvonec. Ko hoče njen pripravnik odpreti, ga zdravnica ustavi, saj so uradne ure že končane. Naslednjega jutra od policije izve, da je bilo nedaleč stran najdeno truplo neidentificirane mlade ženske. Jenny, preplavljena z občutki krivde, ima odtlej en sam cilj: odkriti dekletovo ime in tako preprečiti, da bi jo pokopali kot neznano osebo – preprečiti, da bi izginila, kot da ni nikoli živela.

Belgijska mojstra socialnega realizma brata Dardenne (Fant s kolesom, Dva dneva, ena noč) sta z napeto, sočutno ter psihološko izostreno preiskavo osebne in družbene odgovornosti ustvarila svojo različico detektivke.

»Zanimajo naju posamezniki in njihove zgodbe. /…/ Moralna vprašanja so vedno individualna. /…/ Gledalci pa lahko zgodbo seveda gledajo kot analizo družbe. /…/ Film je oda življenju. Na filmski trak poskušava ujeti življenje. /…/ Meniva, da so ženske prihodnost človeštva. V najinih filmih so one tiste, ki prevzamejo nadzor nad položajem, ki ukrepajo, ki so svobodne in ki pomikajo stvari naprej.«

[ENG]

As they say in the movies: after that summer, nothing would be the same again... Director Eva Husson shows she means business with this intense, confident debut feature, in which a group of Biarritz high-school students start a private orgy society. They seem to have created their own earthly paradise of total liberation, but matters soon prove more complex. Dazzlingly shot and the work of a true stylist, Bang Gang on one level resembles a French version of Larry Clark’s Kids, but with a specifically female point of view and updated for the age of internet sex and revenge porn. The young cast of newcomers is deeply impressive, and not just for their no-holds-barred courage. At once celebratory, libidinously lawless and with an edge of sober social critique, Bang Gang is one of the most striking French debuts in ages – and is certain to be one of the most controversial.

James breaks it off with Katie, but feels bad about it. He doesn't like hurting people. At least he's seeing Monica tonight, she's always fun. He doesn't connect with her though, not like with Sarah - but they're just friends. He was close with Natalie too, until she moved to LA. That reminds him, he's going to work with that actress, Anna something. She's probably too famous to talk to him though. And besides, Lily should be back soon and he really wants to see her. Sometimes he misses Lorraine, but thinking about her just makes him sad. Whenever he feels lonely, he texts Rapunzel - that's not her name, he just can't remember it.

The world is closing in on Greta Driscoll. On the cusp of turning fifteen she can't bear to leave her childhood, it contains all the things that give her comfort in this incomprehensible new world. She floats in a bubble of loserdom with her only friend Elliott, until her parents throw her a surprise 15th birthday party and she's flung into a parallel place; a world that's weirdly erotic, a little bit violent and thoroughly ludicrous - only there can she find herself. Based on the critically acclaimed production by Windmill Theatre, GIRL ASLEEP is a journey into the absurd, scary and beautiful heart of the teenage mind. [Imdb]

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

The teenage coming-of-age genre has become so steeped in supernatural romance, dystopian action and gross-out gags that — on film, at least — the period of blossoming maturity it depicts has almost been stripped of its wonder. Stage-to-screen adaptation Girl Asleep offers an antidote to the current trend, wholeheartedly embracing the magic and mystery of growing up. After an enthusiastic premiere at the 2015 Adelaide Film Festival, where it won the audience award for most popular movie, the energetic, amusing and pointedly eccentric Australian effort debuts outside its homeland in Berlinale’s Generation 14plus program.

Via Kinodvor

Ryota nostalgično podoživlja minule dni, ko je užival sloves spoštovanega in nagrajenega avtorja. Danes je le še senca samega sebe; večino denarja, ki ga zasluži kot zasebni detektiv, zapravi za igre na srečo in komajda še lahko plačuje preživnino za sina. Ko mu umre oče, kaže, da je njegovim bližnjim, za razliko od njega, uspelo pustiti preteklost za sabo. Kljub začetnemu nelagodju naveže stike z družino, zdaj pa se mora še potruditi, da ponovno prevzame vajeti nad svojim življenjem. Prvi korak je obnovitev stika s sinom; neka nevihtna poletna noč jima ponudi priložnost za resnično zbližanje.

Japonski režiser Hirokazu Kore-eda v značilnem, lahkotno komičnem slogu obravnava odnos med starši in otroki kot ključ do trajne sreče v človekovem življenju.

»Po očetovi smrti je mati sama živela v stanovanjskem naselju. Ko sem jo obiskal med novoletnimi prazniki, sem pomislil, da bi nekega dne rad posnel film o tem naselju. /.../ Film zajema spremembe v moji duševnosti po smrti staršev, in je najbolj zaznamovan z mojo resnično notranjostjo. Po moji smrti, če bi se znašel pred Bogom ali razsodnikom posmrtnega življenja, ki bi me vprašal: 'Kaj si počel spodaj na zemlji?', bi mu najprej pokazal film Po nevihti.« (Hirokazu Kore-eda)

[ENG]

Dwelling on his past glory as a prize-winning author, Ryota (Hiroshi Abe) wastes the money he makes as a private detective on gambling and can barely pay child support. After the death of his father, his aging mother (Kirin Kiki) and beautiful ex-wife (Yoko Make) seem to be moving on with their lives. Renewing contact with his initially distrusting family, Ryota struggles to take back control of his existence and to find a lasting place in the life of his young son (Taiyo Yoshizawa) - until a stormy summer night offers them a chance to truly bond again.

Presunljiva švedska drama, posneta po istomeinski knjigi, ki pripoveduje o upokojencu, jeznem na cel svet, ki mu je pred kratkim umrla žena in ji še sam poskuša slediti. Skozi film spremljamo njegovo življenjsko zgodbo in družinske tragedije, ki so ga izoblikovale v takega človega. Ko se v sosesko, v kateri je osamljen in izoliran in jo pozna do potankosti, priselijo novi sosedi, se mu življenje obrne na glavo in je prisiljen nekatere reči videti v drugačni luči. Spoznavamo, da se za masko  težaškega, skrajno hladnega in zagrenjenega možaka skriva mož z velikim srcem, ki je brezmejno ljubil svojo pokojno ženo, ki je bila srčna, močna in razigrana ženska, polna življenja.

Opis via Liffe

Režiser Joachim Lafosse nam ob primeru francoskega para prikaže logiko današnjih romantičnih zvez, v katerih materialni razlogi prevladajo nad vsemi drugimi. 

Po petnajstih letih skupnega življenja se Marie in Boris odločita za ločitev. Par skupaj s hčerama živi v hiši, ki jo je kupila Marie, a jo je Boris popolnoma obnovil. Ker si Boris ne more privoščiti novega stanovanja, si morata hišo še naprej deliti. Pravzaprav je resnica prej ta, da ne eden ne drugi nimata namena dvigniti rok nad trenutnimi razmerami. 

"Paru pomeni denar enega od vzrokov za prepiranje, a ni tisti globlji vir razdora. Denar ni razlog, da se Boris in Marie ne moreta več ljubiti. Je jabolko spora, vendar vedno omogoča način za osebno potrditev ali njeno umanjkanje, način za iskanje priznanja naših dejanj, storjenih ali ne. /.../ Nekoč smo skupaj vztrajali zaradi moralnih razlogov, danes zaradi materialnih. To veliko pove o naši dobi." (Joachim Lafosse)

[ENG]

Fifteen years earlier, Marie, a well off young woman, had set up house with Boris, a working class man. They loved each other and had twin daughters, Jade and Margaux. But now, Marie and Boris do not get along anymore and have decided to get a divorce. The trouble is that Boris cannot afford to find a new place of his own and, in the meantime must continue to cohabit. Marie desperately wants Boris away and cannot put up with him any longer. Her partner, for his part, will not leave home unless she gives him half of what the house is worth. Marie refuses because she is the one who bought the place. Boris refuses because he renovated it and brought considerable added value to their belonging. The situation is deadlocked. How will they get out of this hell?  [Guy Bellinger@Imdb]

[ENG]

'Mad' Mary McArdle returns to Drogheda after a short spell in prison - for something she'd rather forget. Back home, everything and everyone has changed. Her best friend, Charlene, is about to get married and Mary is to be her maid of honour. When Charlene refuses Mary a 'plus one' on the grounds that she probably couldn't find a date, Mary becomes determined to prove her wrong. 'A date for Mad Mary' is a tough and tender story about friendship, first love, and letting go of the glory days.

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

Mad Mary is a delight, especially for its rounded supporting characters, its skewering use of language, and the pinpoint accuracy of its observations of life in this specific time and place.
