The Guardian wrote:
Romain Gavras’s new drama-thriller is about racism, violence and injustice in the Paris banlieues – broadly in the tradition of Mathieu Kassovitz’s La Haine and Ladj Ly’s Les Misérables. It’s spectacular and immersive, with a sensational opening. But it gets bogged down in its own one-note, one-tempo uproar and open-ended parkour camerawork – impressive though that is – and suffers from a number of sneaky false-flag get-out clauses that feel like a cop-out.Read More »

Agatha Christie mystery in which one of ten suspects in an isolated island mansion is a killer. Who is It?Read More »

Synopsis
It’s eight o’clock in the morning in an early seventies summer. Jon, an ETA militant, runs desperately through the streets of the Old Part of San Sebastian, pursued by the police. At that hour, on any given day among thousands, the city wakes up: office workers, housewives, newspaper vendors, waiters serving breakfast, all living their normal lives.
Through his crazy escape, Jon is also going through his own life story at a dizzying pace. The school where they tried to make him give up his identity, the severe yet serene look of his father, the key, the door, the house, the bed, Madelene’s body, her love, the fear of her wounded partner’s death. The fence of persecutors has closed and Jon has finished his career at the feet of a young man he has never seen, to whom nothing binds him. Nothing but a key. And perhaps a common memory.Read More »

From DVD booklet:
The works recorded here are made by Jun Kurosawa mainly in his years
at university.
The remarks on Jun Kurosawa’s works have been focusing on his
impulse of destruction, which are expressed in degenerative keywords
such as “death” and “thanatos”: whereas aesthetical images are
also often mentioned. Is it because his distinct features help them to
establish such images? The features can be described as “film scratch”
and “harsh noise,” all of which can be found in his masterpieces such
as “NEKO-MIMI (1994)” and “JESUS WITH ONE LEG (1991-1994).”Read More »
