    Well, yes, Nordics are my favorite film directors! And Lukas Moodysson amazes me again, after watching ‘Lilya 4-Ever’ some years ago. This time a friend recommended one of his films released in 2013, ‘We are the Best!’

    I would consider Into the White a drama full of good humor. It will make you laugh, cry, laugh again and in the end it will make you cry a bit more.

    12 Years a Slave, based on the 1853 autobiography of Solomon Northup, tells the violently tragic, but ultimately redemptive, tale of a free black man kidnapped and forced to be a slave in the pre-Civil War Era in America.

    Paradise : Faith is Ulrich Seidl’s second movie from the trilogy Paradise, together with Love and Hope. For this part of the trilogy it seems like the Paradise is, as expected, Jesus himself.

    Watched this movie as a recommendation from a French friend who just visited us some days ago and while watching it I was under the impression that the subject seems very familiar to me and then I realized that the story is quite similar to the one in Kim Ki Duk’s Pieta film.

    Black humor. That’s how I would describe Roman Polanski’s ‘Carnage. Sometimes shocking, it actually made me laugh. It reveals the bad in us, all our self deceptions, all our prejudices, our way of patronizing others and feeling better that the rest.
