THE BRIDGE

It’s clever and it’s funny and I’m hooked on the Scandinavian crime drama television series The Bridge. When a body is found on the bridge between Denmark and Sweden, right on the border, Danish inspector Martin Rohde and Swedish Saga Norén have share jurisdiction and work together to find the killer…

BA BA DE BOU

Codex, the witty dance film by French choreographer Philippe Decouflé, is worth spending time on and analyzing every detail in the movements. The film is comprised of several fragments reminiscent of  Egyptian signs, sounds from the East and weird bodily gestures.

HOLY

Leos Carax, the director of Les Amants du Pont Neuf, practices sorcery with his new film Holy Motors. Competed in Cannes, this astonishing film surprises the audience with beautiful scenes as well as its discrepant and strange characters. Even the most disturbing scene is humorous and absurd in the fantastic world created with Denis Lavant, [...]
