It's a beautiful thing when a director is confident enough to take his time telling a story, and Shinji Aoyama is not a man to rush things. A brother and a sister and a bus driver are the only people left alive after they and their fellow passengers are taken hostage by a young nihilist.

Just as the cha

Everything is Illuminated tells the story of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion. What starts out as a quest to piece together one family's story under absurd circumstances turns into a meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations - the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, and the meaning of friendship. A flawed but refreshingly quir

Two young lovers, bored with their Parisian life, set off on a road of discovery across France and Spain to Algeria. Once the sensuous couple have crossed to Africa a distinct darkening of tone makes for a compelling film, especially a shamanistic Sufi trance scene which provides an exhilarating climax. The music, which embraces techno, Andalusian flamenco et al, is both magnificent and crucial to the narrative, following the scenery as the pair uncover their roots and themselves.

Three people each with a dream head for the City of San Julian. Maria is a sweet and naive young mother who's won herself an appearance on a TV game show, Roberto is a salesman on a mission to woo a widow and Don Justo is an old man whose life extends little further than sitting outside his son's shop and entertaining the passing children.

One family's somewhat unconventional lifestyle is shaken to the core when the long abandoned motorway, beside which they happily and freely live in isolation, is finally opened. As their way of life is threatened and their relationships with one another are severely tested their entire concept of 'home' is challenged.
A remarkably honest film with outstanding performances from its lead cast, specifically Isabelle Huppert and Olivier Gourmet.
A rare gem.

For years Katalin kept quiet that she was raped and that her son Orban is the son of a rapist. When the secret leaks out she is ostracised by her village and dumped by her husband and now enigmatically she wanders the Carpathian Mountains, with Orban in tow. This moody revenge feature, shot over years by director Peter Strickland on a minimal budget, continually keeps you guessing as its plot and morality unfold.
