Bullet Train, Review: Brad luck Pitt
A Japanese book adapted into an American film, with Brad Pitt in the leading role, set on a high speed train, with armed and dangerous Mafia agents and gangsters on board, seems to be the menu for a high-octane entertainer. And for once, a film delivers most of what it promises. It is a quaint mix of mayhem, mirth and thrills. Bullet Train re-works the gangster genre with a twist that is so obvious that you wonder why did nobody think of it before. And tha...

Blue Mountains, Review by Siraj Syed: Colourless Molehills
Used as a metaphor for distance, apparently unattainable goals, the Blue Mountains of the title prove as elusive and illusory as the real ones the makers project on screen. Lots of colour, lots of singing, lots of dancing, lots of melodrama, and lots of snow do not help Blue Mountains attain any height. Instead, we find ourselves in a cave, at best, or, rather, a gorge.
Som (Yatharth Rastogi), a hill-town boy, and part of a gang of f...
Director: Sonja Gebhardt.
Our tradition, our home is a documentary series exploring the traditions of folk music around the world. The first stop in this series is Switzerland where musical heritage is being preserved, cultivated and passed down from generation to generation. The 'natural' yodel is a unique form of singing with no words and often no notation, with only folklore to lend an idea of it's origin. Although it may have led to the ...

For those who didn’t see the 2011 South East European
Film Festival (SEE FEST) last May, I thought I’d recap a few of my favorite
films. Me, My Gypsy Family, and Woody
Allen was a humorous and moving 2009 documentary about the Halilović family’s move from caravans into a
permanent apartment, and the daughter Laura’s intent on being a filmmaker
rather than getting married at 18, as her mother and relatives expected. Halilović’s family had lived in caravans in Italy sin...
