I have been busy watching many mind blowing movies! We are entering the last week of the FNC and you will now find many special offers with film bundles at discounted prices. The festival has released this year's winners you can see all the details here.
Here is an overview of the films I have seen:
The winner of the Louve D'Or for best feature film in the International Competition, Atlantis is highly representative of the goals of the festival which is to bring together movies that challenge the standard quo of film making.The movie opens to a macabre scene in infra red night goggle vision of a man digging a grave. We are in 2025 Ukraine and the long war with Russia has ended. Both the people and the countryside are devastated. We follow Sergiy played by Andriy Rymaruk who gives a well contained performance in the sense that the character is in full PTSD yet he has a will to survive. We constantly sense the ocean of grief behind the face he shows the world. Valentyn Vasyanovych, the writer and director of the film, is receiving world wide accolades for the visual style of the movie that is a contemporary art piece of cinema. The movie delves slowly into the visual panorama of each frame letting the horror sink in. The quest for dignity and purpose in the overwhelming catastrophe that is the after war carries Sergiy forward.
I was attracted to this film because of its atmosphere of danger and intrigue. Two young men, Juraj played by Samuel Skyva and Michal played by Samuel Polakovik, arrive at the seminary as good playful friends ready to become priests. However they land in the treacherous world of cold war Czechoslovakia where the oppressive communist party wants to repress the Catholic church. A sad story set in ethereal black and white that attempts to show the tragedy of how conflicting ideology destroys human life and people seem incapable of getting out of it.
This film intrigued me very much. Tree youthful looking adult actresses are made to look 12 in this investigative documentary about online stalking of children. There are so many features of this movie that are both disgusting and disturbing.
A lonely 12 year old opens her chat to an older man. The men range in age from adolescent to old man. Many repulsive old men don't even say hi! They whip out their penises and begin masturbating in front of a person they know is only 12!
The documentary is supported by many social agencies from health to legal to social because at the end of the project, several men were to face criminal charges. Among the charges, one man send child porn to a girl. A MUST SEE!

THALASSO & L'ENLÈVEMENT DE MICHEL HOUELLEBECQ
Finally I needed a laugh! I got a lot of them from the movie Thalasso that features Michel Houellebecq and Gérard Depardieu as themselves. They are in Cabour at a health spa and we listen to their offbeat conversation about everything and nothing. I found it hilarious! Thalasso is part 2 of L'Enlèvement de Michel Houellebecq that I find less hilarious than the second. Guillaume Nicloux wrote and directed both films.
