    2011-2020DramaEloy EncisoSpain

    Quote:
    Several years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, reticent Anxo returns to the Galician village where he was born. Through casual conversations during his trip, he discovers how war and the new Franco regime have transformed the relationships between people. At home, he is greeted with suspicion by both sides. Voiced in dialogues, and sometimes monologues, are stories about war, fear, captivity, riches, poverty and the importance of freedom. These reflections are based on the memoires of exiled writers, those silenced by defeat and, finally, by political prisoners.Read More »

  • Tomasz Wasilewski – W sypialni AKA In the Bedroom (2012)

    Drama2011-2020PolandTomasz Wasilewski

    Forty-year-old Edyta is in crisis. She sleeps at hotels, and when her money runs out she uses the internet to find men who are looking for sex. Edyta spends nights in the homes of the nameless men but, instead of the promised sex, she takes advantage of their involuntary hospitality. She reaches a turning point, however, when she meets a young artist named Patryk.… In his minimalist movie, debuting director Tomasz Wasilewski makes smart use of the tension resulting from the lack of information his story provides viewers about the protagonists. Faces and gestures reveal the characters more than words, with the brittle, unnameable atmosphere that pervades the entire film playing a fundamental role.Read More »
