An impressionistic documentary of iconic postwar Hollywood actor Harry Dean Stanton. Now 86, Stanton’s career includes 200 films, among major and independent productions. Music is an important part of the documentary and a way to get to know him better too. Always a loner, quiet, he advocates his father’s motto: go straight ahead until you hit something. Huber recovers excerpts from films such as Alien, The Missouri Breaks, Cool Hand Luke and Paris, Texas to illustrate a versatile career.
A promenade through New York, the life and career of actor, Ben Gazzara who actor/director Joe Rezwin met in 1977 on the set of John Cassavetes’ Opening Night. As they walk and talk their way through the city and Gazzara’s past, visiting key places and meeting important people in his life, Ben and Joe gradually get to know each other better, and form a kind of father/son relationship. Their conversations about acting, art, fears and desires; life and death all culminate in the final Central Park sequence where Ben persuades Joe it is time to cut the cord, end the obsession with him and Cassavetes, and pursue his passion of filmmaking in his own individual way as Ben did his entire life.

After leaving prison, Francine settles in a small rural town in the U.S., where she leads a solitary life, avoiding creating emotional ties with people. Her love for animals seems to dominate her completely, to the point of not hesitating to act in their defense. Actress Melissa Leo, famous for her performance in 21 Grams and Frozen Rivers, shows us once again her talent to embody this reserved and intense character, giving way to the first feature-length fiction by the independent filmmaker duo Melanie Schatzky and Brian M. Cassidy. A film that surprises us by its intensity and restraint. (C. C.)
A complex and fascinating voyage into the inner world of filmmaker and thinker Peter Kubelka. Born in 1934 in Vienna, his pioneering work is a treasure, organic, albeit brief. In his lessons and lectures he focuses on the essence of cinema and here we get to know a new side of him: besides being a filmmaker, Kubelka is a collector and this is, in his opinion, a continuation of his cinematographic expression. Kudláƒçek is patient in developing this inspiring portrait.
Guided by Liv Ullmann and with commentaries from a number of filmmakers for whom Bergman is and remains an important influence – such as Woody Allen, Olivier Assayas, Bernardo Bertolucci, Arnaud Desplechin, John Sayles, Martin Scorsese and Lars von Trier

An unusual Portuguese adaptation of the famous Bluebeard tale. An excellent stop motion animation with special attention to shots and wardrobe.

The duo Reis/Miller knows very well how to detect a universe to work on. Their films transport us to pronounced social realities and focus on the accurate stressing of what is most important. In this film-experiment, where they themselves are pushed to the process, we see a group of Brazilian women talk about large andminor issues. (M. V.)

Meticulously adapted from David Morrell’s novel First Blood, which introduced the world to a young man named Rambo and his one-man war against a small town and its sheriff, “Flooding With Love for the Kid” is in itself a one-man cinematic war.
Freeze was filmed in places of low temperatures – the Puolanka village in Finland and Kola peninsula, in Russia.
“Get your shit together”, says a friend of Frances at one point. If there was a phrase that summed up the entry into adulthood – as late as possible, by the way – this would be it. The moment when growing up means having control over our lives, deciding things, making things happen. Frances still lives in this limbo as she hops through the streets of New York (a city so palpable, so adored by Baumbach and Gerwig, the screenwriters) and takes an entire film on her back without ever getting (us) exhausted. Lovely is a word invented to describe the sweet Frances, a girl who is heartbroken when her best friend moves out. There is a whole path to walk, finding a way to forgive, getting a real job, paying for a real flat, building a real life. There is an end that is a beginning, as in any cycle, and avenges the comforting idea that all things will be in place at the right time. (M. M.) walk, finding a way to forgive, getting a real job.
A found footage film in which existing fragments from horror films are transmogrified into a new film. “Long Live the New Flesh” deploys a digital technique with painterly quality in which the images literally consume one another and the horror in all its
