This film is so not exciting. All images and sound that come out about it only strengthen that impression. So old. So boring. So useless. The third one was already one too many.

According to the festival, the Forum section includes the most daring and risk-taking films of the program, while the Panorama section includes films specifically targeted at buyers (who are generally not...

For the second time in two years, I am frustrated and a bit sad to begin discovering the work of a great, oft-overlooked filmmaker upon reading news of their death.

So, between stockpiling warm clothes and memorizing how to say "I don't speak German" in German, I've been combing the program and singling out potential highlights in each festival category.

Stunts... DIGTAL DIGITAL DIGITAL .. stunts ... CGI CGI CGI ...
I reserve my judgment until I see some reviews.
