Dark Shadows
Following their hugely successful
past collaborations, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp re-team for another
fantastically kooky film. Loosely based on the cult 60's TV show, Depp plays
18th Century wealthy playboy Barnabas Collins - who is cursed and turned into a
Vampire after he refuses the advances of a witch. Awaking in 1972, Barnabas
must rally his dysfunctional descendants to restore his family's reputation!
Hilarious moments ensue as Barnabas adjusts to modern life; this is cinema as
pure blissful entertainment.
Even The Rain
Gael García Bernal stars as
Sebastian, an ambitious director who is in Bolivia to shoot a historical epic.
Surrounded by a wealth of cheap labour and extras, Sebastian and his producer
are happy to exploit the locals; however as a conglomerate company looks to
privatise all the country's water resources, the film crew find themselves
embroiled in a revolution. Already picking up awards at international film
festivals including the Berlinale last year, this is a stunning ode to the
courage of ordinary people.
Breathing (Atmen)
Best known for his role in The Counterfeiters, Karl Markovics'
directorial debut is a stunning tour-de-force that lingers long in the memory.
Thomas Schubert delivers one of the all-time greatest debut performances as
Roman - a young offender adjusting to civilian life whilst coming to terms with
his crime. A job at a funeral home offers some form of redemption, but can he
learn to forgive himself? Despite its subject matter this is an uplifting film
about second chances, superbly acted and directed.
