LA PIVELINA ***

A charming little film about a two-year-old girl found by a circus worker living on the outskirts of Rome. An unpretentious & moving portrait of life in the margins of society.



GIGANTE **

An Uruguayan comedy about a supermarket security guard who becomes obsessed with a late-shift floor cleaner. The film won the grand jury award at the Berlinale along with the first feature film and the Alfred Bauer Prize. A well-made and engaging film although I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about.



BORDER **

A wordless poetic docu-drama that follows life on an Armenian farm through the eyes of a buffalo. The fast editing is a distinct contrast to the slow storyline, but makes the movie digestible.

Into the Heart of Darkness


Yesterday I read an incredible newspaper article about a Belgian journalist who paddled with a kayak through the heart of darkness of Belgium’s former colony the Congo. Afterwards, I checked the website mentioned at the bottom of the article and it turns out that this heroic man has his own website where you can find pictures and a complete account (in Dutch, French and English!) of his savage travels. What a man!
