Redlight District Bar

Night, city lights, a girl runs desperately down a street like being chased. A nice 90’s movies mood with well done travelling and a well chosen street. Good actors too; despite some of them not seeming professional they

The Greatest Show On Earth

You’d never think the person that hides behind a clown would be more than a funny and sometimes even a ridiculous person. However, ' The Greatest Show On Earth ', a ‘backstage’ documentary about clown psychology and job

Film review

Heroes

Unpretentious, produced with minimal resources and probably with a minimal team, ‘ Heroes ’ will deceive anyone at a first glance, where it will be very hard to guess where it’s going. Then, it will almost become absurd

Film review

Made of Stone

' Made of Stone ' is a student-like film, unpretentious but beautiful. There are films that impress through their technical achievement and there are films that impress through the idea and the emotion they transmit to t

No Love Lost

Many worlds collide in Shekhar Bassi’s ‘ No Love Lost ’. You won’t know what to think at first but many questions will arise by the end of the film. Personal identity in context with religion, personal beliefs and open b

Spammer

BECAUSE OF THE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW WE STRONGLY ADVISE TO WATCH THE FILM FIRST. We’ve all confronted ourselves with this 20th century nuisance called spam. Sanj Surati and John Iwasz’s film ‘Spammer’ brings to front t

Film review

1500 Words

' 1500 Words ' is a brilliant comedy by Andrew Chaplin. The cinematography is good, the actors are great and the humour a little cynical but nonetheless tasty. It rarely happens nowadays that a comedy has subtile layers

Film review

The Last Act

Director Dina Duma exhibits a little of the classic directors’ lyrism in the wonderful war drama ‘ The Last Act ’. The film is beautifully directed and filmed, the actors act remarkable, and both the costumes and sets co

Film review

Light Stand-In

' Light Stand-In (Doublure Lumière) ', a short by director Alexandre Triaca is kind of a strange film but not in a bad way and neither is it in an experimental way. It delivers quite well the sentiment of uneasiness in l

Film review

A Few Days With You

‘ A Few Days With You ’ is a film about the power of confession, about the refusal to communicate out of own 'troubleshooting' and about loneliness. Strange combination of the three that we very often run into and that e

Film review

Darker

When we first saw Alex Torres’ ' Darker ' we thought: ‘kind of a student-like film!’ and ‘what’s wrong with the main actor? Couldn’t he find a better face?’. While we were rather right about our first thought, we couldn’

Film review

Life on Water

Rafiqfuad Yarahmadi sure has the talent of a documentarist. His unpretentious ‘Life on Water’ is a very simple documentary with some very nice shots here and there but simple as it may be it really reaches for your heart

Film review

There's no more roast

' There's no more roast ' is a music video directed by Andrea Di Bartolo. We aren’t going to comment on the song or anything connected to it, but we have to mention that the video is quite nice for a music video. First o
