Fear X

Fear X

Fear X

dir. Nicolas Winding Refn

Denmark / Canada / Brazil, 2003 - 91

The pregnant wife of shopping mall security guard Harry has been murdered. Senseless violence in the American Midwest, it would appear. However, Harry meticulously culls hours of the mall's surveillance video in hopes of finding a clue to the mystery of her death. His clue, however, comes in the form of a dream. A mysterious, atmospheric psycho-thriller, this film evokes David Lynch movies. A suspenseful slice of urban paranoia with a brilliant climax. “Fear X” was written by Refn and Hubert Selby Jr (“Last Exit to Brooklyn”, “Requiem for a Dream”), and beautifully shot by cameraman Larry Smith (“Eyes Wide Shut”) as a psychological film noir.

Killing The Shadow

Killing The Shadow

Hacivat Karagöz neden öldürüldü?

dir. Ezel Akay

Turkey, 2006 - 135

Karagoz and Hacivat are two construction workers with a natural gift for entertaining each other and people around them. They live in 14th-century Bursa, the first capital of the Ottoman Empire. They are treated as a couple of court clowns by the town elites. Humour is a tough mission to take on, especially when power struggles and violence lurk around. As the circumstances worsen, and each of the duo's gags and puns become a threat to the elites who watch them, they get closer and closer to trouble. Each “show” of the comedians shows how entertainment slowly creates a threat for both the audience and the performers. This is show business in mediaeval times. In style, this Turkish super-production is like “Shakespeare in Love” by John Madden, and in the treatment of the social aspects of “humour” – like “Ridicule” by Patrice Leconte.

Valerie

dir. Birgit Möller

Germany, 2006 - 84

Right before Christmas the once successful model Valerie (an excellent Agata Buzek) ends up in Berlin. She still has a room at the exclusive Hyatt Hotel, but she’s completely broke and without any prospects. Valerie is unable to deal with her tragic new situation. She doesn’t tell her friend, nor the boss of her agency, nor even her rich benefactor Isenberg about her dire situation. Leaving the hotel, she doesn’t even have the money to pay for the parking lot in the basement garage. From that point on, she starts a double life, spending the nights in her car and living like a stowaway in the world of the rich and beautiful. She can only break free through her friendship with the parking lot guard Andre. Featuring Birol Ünel as a well-known photographer.

Allegro

Allegro

Allegro

dir. Christoffer Boe

Denmark, 2005 - 88

After a long absence, a famous pianist, Zetterstrom, returns to his native Copenhagen. A perfectionist by nature, he also has a major flaw: he can't remember anything from his past. So, when contacted by a messenger from the Zone, a mysterious other world situated in the middle of the city, Zetterstrom attempts to reconnect with himself, his lost memories, and what remains in his mind about a lost love. A rare cinematic treat. Boe creates a figurative universe, a realm both real and unreal, at once a fictional place and a concrete reality. The film eludes easy categorization, and sometimes even effortless comprehension, but is entirely engrossing and stimulating. Its exploration of metaphorical realities and the mysteries of memory and the subconscious is richly conceived and wonderfully acted and executed.
