Inlove
Love has no limits, nationality or ethnicity. But we already know that from many books and movies. However, the way Les Frères Lopez address these valences of contemporary love, in the context of a world haunted by wars
Film reviewGreater Fool
After so many centuries of eternal love, the phlegmatic attitude of contemporary people seems to have become a natural consequence of all those immortal, but quite cliché-like, romantic scenarios. ' Greater Fool ' is a c
Film reviewFarewell to the Ark
Even before the technological boom that marked the beginning of the 21st century, SF literature and cinema anticipated a possible total alienation of humanity because of the uncontrollable addiction to new gadgets. Howev
Film reviewTales From Tin Pan Alley
In the past few years, music biographies have become the new big thing, and each year there are at least a dozen books and films going out on the market, obviously making music enthusiasts go crazy. This year makes no ex
Film reviewFar Away
The emotional crisis of the modern couple is a delicate and irresolvable subject, but it is precisely this inability to find a general saving solution that fascinates contemporary creators. Thus, ' Far Away ' is not a sh
Film reviewRENDEZ-VOUS
For many artists, Paris has been an inspirational topos that has managed to create a magnetic aura over time, giving creators the energy they need for the most nonconformist productions. Somewhat, the short choreographic
Film reviewNIMF
Mythology has always been an extraordinary source of inspiration for artists everywhere. Suze Gil also, though starting from a mythological referent, manages to homogenize a feminine archetypal image in which the Greek-L
Film reviewUs

The stories of unknown people are always fascinating for us, since the contexts we are confronted with can completely change the perception of our life. ' Where There Is Too Much Light ' is an intelligent short film that
Film reviewOccam

Film reviewEditing Propaganda
It's hard to say whether ' Editing Propaganda ' is a short film about the essentials of the cinematic illusion concept or a project that unmasks the imposture of manipulation techniques orchestrated by those behind the c
Film reviewSaving Green

Film reviewOkhti
It has become certain that human nature will never change. Neither the whims of history nor the boldest literary projections have succeeded in seeing beyond the imperfect mechanism of the human soul, forcing us to resign
Film reviewAlmost Grownups Episode 2
Some people never grow up. Or maybe immaturity is a natural consequence of the middle age crisis. Anyway, beyond these debatable generalizations, it is certain that for comedy films of all time, one of the funniest typol
Film reviewPrisoners of Time
‘ Prisoners of Time ’ deals with a very important matter that crippled generations of most strong men: the post-traumatic disorder. PTSD is usually found in people that witnessed war or have other abusive memories th
Film reviewA Date with Shillelagh
