Filmski kotiček, 8. september 2016 ― Slo naslov: -  Država: ZDA Leto: 2015 Dolžina: 84',  Imdb Žanri: Drama    Slo recenzija: - Režija: Matt Sobel Scenarij: Matt Sobel Igrajo: Logan Miller, Robin Weigert, Josh Hamilton, Richard Schiff, Ursula Parker, Ashley Gerasimovich, Azura Skye [ENG] A Nebraskan family reunion couldn't seem more backwards to a gay Californian teenager. If Ryder had his way, he'd choose a moment just like this to come out, the bigger the scene the better. For his mother's sake however, Ryder agrees to keep quiet, save parading around the picnic in his most audacious pair of short-shorts. Ryder's antics raise dubious eyebrows from his hardened cowboy relatives, but 9-year-old Molly can't get enough. She follows her cool California cousin everywhere. After lunch, they walk to the barn to look for a bird's nest in the rafters. Their strange encounter, and whatever happened while the two escaped their family's watchful eyes, makes Ryder the sudden target of suspicion, and places him at the center of a long buried family secret. Anchored by a breakthrough performance by Logan Miller as Ryder and rich, dramatic turns by Robin Weigert and Josh Hamilton, TAKE ME TO THE RIVER constantly forces one to question any given character's culpability until the film's finale. The film, woven together by an omnipresent sense of dread, is the masterful debut from writer/director Matt Sobel. ***************** First-time writer-director Matt Sobel’s “Take Me to the River” unfolds in an atmosphere of mystery and dread that contrasts with its surroundings’ bucolic serenity. A gay Californian teenager’s visit to Nebraskan relatives turns more nightmarish than he anticipated, for reasons that he never could have imagined, as clouds of displaced sexuality hover over flowing rivers, fertile fields and little girls on big horses. Told uniquely through the kid’s largely uncomprehending point of view, this Midwestern gothic tale maintains sufficient visual distance to suggest alternative narrativ

Filmski kotiček, 7. september 2016 ― Slo naslov: -  Angleški naslov: Land and Shade Država: Kolumbija, Francija, Nizozemska Leto: 2015 Dolžina: 97',  Imdb Žanri: Drama    Slo recenzija: - Režija: César Augusto Acevedo Scenarij: César Augusto Acevedo Igrajo: Haimer Leal, Hilda Ruiz, Edison Raigosa, Marleyda Soto, Jose Felipe Cardenas [ENG] Alfonso is an old farmer who has returned home to tend to his son, who is gravely ill. He rediscovers his old house, where the woman who was once his wife still lives, with his daughter-in-law and grandson. The landscape that awaits him resembles a wasteland. Vast sugar cane plantations surround the house, producing perpetual clouds of ash. 17 years after abandoning them, Alfonso tries to fit back in and save his family. ************** Years after abandoning his wife and child, a man returns to find their rural homestead surrounded by sugarcane fields. Fires rage constantly as part of the harvesting process, filling the skies with great plumes of ash. Though the stubborn matriarch refuses to quit her modest property (the “land”), no living thing could possibly thrive amid such a smoldering Gehenna, and indeed, the man’s only reason for returning to this infernal place is the fact that his son has fallen ill. While mirthless in the extreme, Cesar Acevedo’s deliberately paced and distant-feeling debut works its way under audiences’ skin, weaving a haunting allegory through painterly compositions, while distinguishing itself as a worthy candidate for that subset of festivals which specializes in arduous cinema.
