Beksiński is a gentle man with arachnophobia, despite his hardcore sexual fantasies and his fondness for painting disturbing dystopian works. Beksiński is a family man who wants only the best for his loving wife Zofia, neurotic son Tomasz and the couple's aging mothers. His daily painting to classical music eventually pays off and he makes a name for himself in contemporary art. Good Catholic woman Zofia tries to hold the family together, but troubled son Tomasz proves to be a handful with his violent outbursts and suicidal threats. Their relief is brief when he starts dating women and becomes a radio presenter and movie translator, and the concerned parents must be on constant watch to prevent their son from hurting himself. But Beksiński never believed that family life would always be sunshine and rainbows. As he tapes everything with his beloved camcorder, the 28-year Beksiński saga unfolds through paintings, near-death experiences, dance music trends and funerals... 

Based on the bizarre true story of the cult Polish painter Zdzisław Beksiński. First narrative feature from the director of the award-winning documentary DEEP LOVE. -New Europe Film Sales

Serija spremlja žensko, ki je prisiljena živeti kot priležnica v fundamentalistični teokratski diktaturi bližnje prihodnosti. V Gileadu, nekoč imenovanem ZDA, ženske več nimajo pravic.

Po knjižni predlogi klasičnega romana avtorice Margaret Atwood zgodba prinaša življenje v distopični družbi Gilead, totalitarnem režimu, ki je bil nekoč znan kot Združene države Amerike. V luči okoljske katastrofe in ob čedalje nižjem številu rojstev Gilead vodi sprevržena fundamentalistična vlada, ki se skuša z vojaško politiko "vrniti k tradicionalnim vrednotam". Kot ena redkih preostalih plodnih žensk je Offred (Elisabeth Moss) zaposlena kot dekla v gospodinjstvu Poveljnika in pripada kasti žensk, prisiljenih v spolno podrejenost v zadnjem obupanem poskusu režima, da bi vnovič poselili svet. V strašljivi družbi bližnje prihodnosti se mora Offred spretno prilagajati zahtevam Poveljnikov, se soočati z njihovimi krutimi ženami, domačimi sodelavkami in drugimi deklami. Vsakdo je lahko vohun za Gilead in Offred ima le en cilj: preživeti ter najti svojo hčer, ki so ji jo nekoč odvzeli. -HBO Slovenija

[ENG]


Adapted from the classic novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander’s household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her. -Hulu

Drama se sredi sodobne Rusijo vrti okrog mladeniča, ki je postal verski fanatik in čigar vedenje ima sčasoma vse večji vpliv na okolico ter vso šolsko skupnost – in naposled vodi v katastrofo.
"Tisti, ki sledijo luči, so vselej iznašli le temo," je trdil francoski pesnik Robert Desnos. Veniamin je najstnik sredi mistične, ideološke in verske krize, ki s svojimi neskončnimi vprašanji in težavami nadleguje mater, sošolce ter vso svojo srednješolsko skupnost. Ali dekleta lahko pridejo na tečaj plavanja v kopalkah? Ali je spolni vzgoji sploh mesto med šolskimi predmeti? Naj teorijo evolucije poučujejo pri pouku naravoslovja? Odrasli se hitro naveličajo načel in gotovosti mladeniča, ki prisega le na zapisane verske nauke. Samo učiteljica biologije Elena se ga bo drznila izzvati na njemu lastnemu področju ideologije. -HBO Slovenija

[ENG]


After Venya's mother receives a call from school reporting her son's refusal to participate in mixed swimming lessons, she first suspects her teenager of being shy and derides his claim that it is "against his religion." As Venya is finally exempted by the school's devout principal, he grows confident that his strict and rigorous study of the Bible gives him the ability to manipulate all forms of authority. Challenged by a teacher who refuses to consent to his dogma, he sets out to eliminate her and subdue an entire community. At a time when arguments over the teaching of religion in public schools are prominent in the media, this wildly escalating classroom drama - based on a play by German playwright Marius von Mayenburg - serves as a frightening cautionary tale. -Imdb

Roman can’t follow her to the South or all Hell will break loose, and he can’t deal with Lucy’s departure... Together, they will make a leap for life, a leap for inner peace.

[SLO]

Via Kinodvor:


Sedemdeseta leta na Danskem. Erik in Anna sta par, ki sanja o drugačnem življenju. S hčerko Frejo v Erikovi razkošni vili sredi prestižne soseske Københavna osnujeta komuno. Nova skupnost, v jedru katere je mala družina, prireja večerje, zabave in hišne sestanke. Prijateljstvo, ljubezen in občutek skupnosti polnijo prostorno vilo, vse dokler jih šokantna ljubezenska afera ne postavi pred težko preizkušnjo.

Danski režiser Thomas Vinterberg in scenarist Tobias Lindholm (Lov) znova združita moči v zgodbi o trčenju osebnih poželenj in idealov solidarnosti, ki jih opeva življenje v komuni sredi sedemdesetih let. Humoren, nežen, a tudi boleč portret idealistične generacije je Trine Dyrholm prinesel srebrnega medveda za najboljšo igralko na zadnjem Berlinalu.



»Od sedmega do devetnajstega leta sem živel v komuni. To so bili nori, ljubeči, fantastični časi, polni genitalij, piva, težkih intelektualnih razprav, ljubezni in osebnih tragedij. Vsak dan je bil kot iz pravljice. Takoj ko si se iz zasebnosti svoje sobe podal v skupne prostore hiše, že se je pred tabo razodela pisana paleta presenetljivih scenarijev, zlasti po zaslugi drugih stanovalcev, njihove ekscentričnosti in kapric. Zame je to čas čudovitih spominov in absurdnih trenutkov. /…/ Skupne večerje, ki so se odvijale vsak četrtek in nedeljo, so se navadno prelevile v bučne, včasih katastrofalne večerne zabave. Vrhovna avtoriteta je bil 'hišni sestanek' – demokratični zbor, na katerem so člani komune izlivali svoja srca in svobodno razpravljali o najrazličnejših temah. Spominjam se hišnega sestanka, na katerem se je sklenilo, da bo najemnina poslej sorazmerna z zaslužkom vsakega člana komune. To je navdušeno predlagal moški, ki je zaslužil največ od vseh, tako da se je njegova najemnina več kot podvojila. Čeprav so bili člani komune visoko izobraženi intelektualci, se zdi to nekdanje življenje danes skrajno naivno in idealistično – bilo je polno vere v prihodnost …«
- Thomas Vinterberg

[ENG]


The new film by lauded Danish director Thomas Vinterberg (The Celebration, The Hunt) examines the fallout from the social upheavals of the 1970s through the microcosm of a Copenhagen commune. Anna (Trine Dyrholm, who won Best Actress at the 2016 Berlinale for her performance) is a television newswoman; her husband, Erik (Ulrich Thomsen), teaches architecture at a university. When Erik's father passes away, the couple must decide what to do with the huge house that Erik grew up in, as it's too expensive for them to occupy on their own. Erik prefers selling, but Anna - who has become frustrated with Erik's dour outlook and longs for something new - suggests that they use this opportunity to experiment with communal living (which was all the rage in Scandinavia at the time). Energized by the era's relaxed taboos, Anna and Erik assemble a diverse, rather motley crew of cohabitants and embark on their adventure, but soon take very different paths. While Anna is anxious to stay home and experience life with her new extended family, Erik finds a more traditional way of reinvigorating himself: an affair with one of his students. When Anna tries to reconcile these two situations, the commune - and the marriage at its core - begins to unravel. -Rotten Tomatoes

When Bobby is held hostage by a group of over-privileged punks for scratching their car, Mr. Six bails him out and attempts to rebuild their relationship, while ignoring his worsening heart condition. But when the powerful, political family of the gang’s leader seeks revenge and beats Bobby into a coma, Mr. Six decides to rally his old comrades and settle the score with one last battle.

[SLO]


Režijski prvenec Pulitzerjevega nagrajenca, sicer slovitega dramatika Davida Mameta. V njem je ustvaril stilistično kinematografsko zloženko igre v igri, kompleksno pripoved organizirano v izjemen filmski scenarij. Dr. Margaret Ford je pisateljica psiholoških “pomagaj si sam” priročnikov, obenem pa tudi sama pomaga pacientom. Z namenom, da bi pomagala svoji stranki, ki je zapadla v hazarderske dolgove, obišče bar kjer Mike  vodi igre pokra. Mike je namreč tista oseba, ki ji je Margaretin pacient dolžan največ denarja. Obenem pa je to tudi zelo sugestivna oseba, ki Margaret prepriča, naj mu pri igri pomaga; njena naloga je opazovati “znake” (telesne gibe, mimika obraza ipd…). Toda, kar se je Margaret zdela lahka naloga, s časom postane zelo zahtevno in tudi intrigantno opravilo, ki doktorico tako prevzame, da tudi sama postane odvisna od sleparskega početja…  -RTV SLO

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and screenwriter David Mamet first sat in the director’s chair for this sly, merciless thriller. Mamet’s witty tale of a therapist and best-selling author (Lindsay Crouse) who must confront her own obsessions when she meets an attractive cardsharp (Joe Mantegna) is as psychologically acute as it is full of twists and turns, a rich character study told with the cold calculation of a career criminal. -The Criterion Collection
