Film Fra Sør, my view

This post is an ongoing post which will be updated during "Film Fra Sør" film festival (9th - 19th of October). I'm going to write some lines about each movies I've seen during the festival.

  • Wild Tales (9/10)
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3011894/
    One of the most extra-ordinary movies I had seen. The film is consist of 4 different short movies and is a definite MUST-SEE one :-)
  • Dukhtar (Daughter) (7/10)
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3175888/
    The story of a road trip of a mother and daughter in Pakistan. A mother who can not give up her only daughter for a arranged marriage to an old hostile tribe leader. The marriage is arranged to set peace between the tribes and stop the long ongoing bloodshed. The story touches a lot of nowadays hot topics in Pakistan, from women rights to inter-tribes clashes.
  • The Old Man (7/10)
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2182115/
    A film based on "Ernest Hemingway" book of "The old man & the sea", but for an old man in Kazakhstan and in the harsh environments of the steppes. The story of symbols dancing in nature and a man's will to survive. 
  • Han Gong-ju (8/10)
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3265462/
    The word drama does not say it all ... A very well made film, with a very heavy topic ...
