Diagonaldi Very well executed
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Richard Stadtkind I saw this a few years ago at the Chicago International Film Festival and it's a great example of why it's worth the time and expense of going to film festivals. It's really a lovely film and it's unfortunate more people don't have a chance to see it. I just recommended it to a friend last night as a good example of a Czech film that isn't dour, but sadly it doesn't seem to be available in the US. I am not ordinarily a great fan of movies about children, but this film is an exception. In the film, a little girl responds to her parents' marital troubles by imagining everything through the lens of a sort of Little Red Riding Hood fantasy. It was graceful and unexpected and I hope some day I'll be able to stream it online or something.
