Filmski kotiček, 17. november 2016 ― Slo naslov: Najstnika Država: ZDA, Grčija Leto: 2016 Dolžina: 85',  Imdb Žanri: Drama, Družinski    Slo recenzija: - Režija: Ira Sachs Scenarij: Ira Sachs, Mauricio Zacharias Igrajo: Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Ehle, Paulina Garcia, Michael Barbieri, Theo Taplitz, Talia Balsam, Maliq Johnson Via Liffe[SLO] Zgodba o prijateljstvu med trinajstletnikoma, ki ga ogrozi spor med njunimi starši, pa tudi kritičen filmski pogled na problem razvoja brooklynskih četrti.  Jake Jardine je tih in občutljiv trinajstletnik, ki sanja, da bo nekoč postal umetnik. Na dedkovem pogrebu spozna prijaznega in navihanega vrstnika Tonyja, sina najemnice butika z oblačili v stanovanjski hiši, ki je v lasti Jakove družine. Fanta se hitro spoprijateljita, a njuno prijateljstvo kmalu postavi na preizkušnjo spor med Tonyjevo mamo Leonor in Jakovim očetom, ki hoče povišati najemnino za Leonorin butik. Nekoč sem prebral, da knjige Jane Austen lahko označimo za dela o dveh tematikah: ljubezni in denarju. Občutek imam, da se s tem lahko identificiram, ne ker bi bili moji filmi zelo austenovski, temveč ker v povezavi s tema vprašanjema lahko veliko izveš o likih in tudi o neki kulturi. Sam vidim ogromno drame v dejstvu, da se liki ukvarjajo s svojo družino in medsebojnimi odnosi ter se zatem poglabljajo v vprašanja finančnih ali osnovnih človeških potreb. (Ira Sachs) [ENG]  Jake (Theo Taplitz) is a quiet, sensitive middle schooler with dreams of being an artist. He meets the affably brash Tony (Michael Barbieri) at his grandfather's funeral, and the unlikely pair soon hit it off. The budding friendship is put at risk, however, when a rent dispute between Jake's father, Brian (Greg Kinnear), and Tony's mother, Leonor (Paulina Garcia), threatens to become contentious. Little Men is a critical yet empathetic look at the dangers of gentrification. Ira Sachs, director of Love Is Strange and the Sundance Grand Jury Prize WinnerForty Shades of Blue, accentuates the natural vibrancy of Brooklyn a

Filmski kotiček, 16. november 2016 ― Photo: Komplizen Film Slo naslov: Toni Erdmann Država: Nemčija Leto: 2016 Dolžina: 162' ,  Imdb Žanri: Komedija, Drama    Slo recenzija: - Režija: Maren Ade Scenarij: Maren Ade Igrajo: Peter Simonischek, Sandra Hüller, Michael Wittenborn, Thomas Loibl, Trystan Pütter, Hadewych Minis, Lucy Russell Via Liffe[SLO] S človeško toplino in drznim humorjem prežeta pripoved o obujanju ljubezni med očetom in hčerjo, ki je navdušila kritike na letošnjem festivalu v Cannesu.  Zgodba o odnosu med ambiciozno tridesetletnico Ines, vodjo poslovnega sektorja v pomembnem finančnem podjetju, in njenim očetom Winfriedom, postaranim, nikoli zares odraslim hipijem, ki rad stresa neslane šale in ljudi okrog sebe spravlja v zadrego. Ker Winfried ob nenapovedanem obisku svojo hčer dojame kot izgubljeno ter podrejeno službi in skrajno formalnim srečanjem na najvišji poslovni ravni, se prelevi v "Tonyja Erdmanna", alter ego z groteskno lasuljo in črvivimi zobmi, nakar se kot lažen poslovnež nenapovedano pojavlja v hčerkinem službenem in družabnem okolju …  Toni Erdmann se rodi iz obupa. Humor je pogosto način za obvladovanje težav in kot tak vedno plod bolečine. Winfriedu se hčeri ne uspe približati na noben drug način. /.../ Humor je njegovo edino orožje, začne ga uporabljati z vso silo. To pomeni, da je igra veliko bolj nepopustljiva, in ker tudi Ines ni do muh, nenadoma govori jezik, ki ga hči razume.  (Maren Ade) [ENG] Winfried doesn’t see much of his working daughter Ines. The suddenly student-less music teacher decides to surprise her with a visit after the death of his old dog. It’s an awkward move because serious career woman Ines is working on an important project as a corporate strategist in Bucharest. The geographical change doesn’t help the two to see more eye to eye. Practical joker Winfried loves to annoy his daughter with corny pranks. What’s worse are his little jabs at her routine lifestyle of long meetings, hotel bars and performance reports. Fat

Filmski kotiček, 15. november 2016 ― aka The Wailing Slo naslov: -  Angleški naslov: The Wailing Država: Južna Koreja Leto: 2016 Dolžina: 156',  Imdb Žanri: Drama, Grozljivka, Misterij   Slo recenzija: - Režija: Na Hong-Jin Scenarij: Na Hong-Jin Igrajo: Kwak Do-Won, Hwang Jung-Min, Jun Kunimura, Chun Woo-Hee, Kim Hwan-Hee [ENG] Within a seemingly peaceful village, a plague of mysterious & violent deaths suddenly take place. The police conclude poisonous wild mushrooms are the cause of the deaths. Police Officer Jong-Goo (Kwak Do-Won) hears a rumor from a coworker about a mysterious Japanese man (Jun Kunimura) living nearby. The rumor fingers the Japanese man as the man causing these mysterious & violent deaths. Jong-Goo, while on duty, meets Moo-Myeong (Chun Woo-Hee). She tells Jong-Goo that she saw the Japanese man where the last deaths took place. Jong-Goo's doubts about the man begin to waver. Jong-Goo's daughter Hyo-Jin then comes down with the crazed symptoms similar to what the other villagers had before their deaths. Jong-Goo becomes desperate. He heads out into the mountains to find the old Japanese man's home. Meanwhile, his mother-in-law calls in a shaman, Il-Gwang (Hwang Jung-Min), to perform an exorcism on Hyo-Jin. Death lingers in the air. ********************* As dark and pessimistic as the rest of South Korean thrill-master Na Hong Jin's work, The Wailing (Goksung, a.k.a. The Strangers in France) is long and involving, permeated by a tense, sickening sense of foreboding, yet finally registers on a slightly lower key than the director's acclaimed genre films The Chaser (2008) and The Yellow Sea (2010).  [Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter] Renowned for his relentless storytelling, Na Hong-jin takes The Wailing to a new level, confirming his place as one of Korea’s leading contemporary filmmakers. Its sheer intensity and ambiguous narrative might put off some viewers, but this latest film - set in a village where people start to mysteriously die when a Japanese str
