Last year's Cannes Palme d'Or winner begins with a sense of purpose pitched just beyond our grasp. Two young women are sharing a room in what appears to be some sort of training college dorm. Otilia read more »

Deathly dull
Once again all the positive reviews of this film are 'worthy'.
When you break it down to reality this is an exceedingly dull piece of filmmaking. Makes you wonder what you have to do to win these awards. . . . let's see . . . .
1. Does the film look ugly. . . . tick!
2. Is the subject matter worthy or controversial. . . . tick!
3. Is it dull as a viewing experience. . . . tick!
4. Is it subtitled. . . . . double tick for that one!
5. Are there supposedly meaningful lingering shots or interminable scenes. . . .tick, tick, tick!!!!!!
Hmmmmm, will think twice about 'award winning films' in future then!!
If you want to be entertained, avoid this one! -

Raw - Uncompromising - as all good films should be
If you have never seen a Romanian film - and there aren't too many to see - start here. Like all cinema emerging from censorship and austerity life courses through its veins - and none more so than in this harrowing but rewarding tale of everyday disasters. Terrific acting, terrific film-making - and a star in the making in Annamarie Marinca. Simply demands to be seen.

It's actually the surname of a young Romanian actress who takes the lead in the highlight of Day 3 at the Berlinale, Storm, the story of a young Bosnian woman who is called before the war crimes tribunal in the Hague to testify what she witnessed in the Yugoslav wars. In fact, German director Hans-Christian Schmid's... Read more
