Manas (2024)

  • Others
  • 2024, Brazil
  • Leave a comment

The unsaid and the silences ring deafeningly in this Brazilian drama set in an island community, where generations of women have endured sexual abuse and exploitation, but one maturing teenager becomes cognizant of her fate.

Revenge (2017)

  • Others
  • 2017, Coralie Fargeat, France
  • 3 Comments

Three men learn the bloodiest lesson ever from a rightfully vengeful woman in Fargeatโ€™s stylish and gleefully exploitative first feature, a lean and mean modern throwback to the New French Extremity movement.

Toxic (2024)

  • Others
  • 2024, Lithuania
  • Leave a comment

Two female teens hope to seek better opportunities in the body-violating world of modelling in this raw if measured Locarno Golden Leopard winner with strong echoes of Ulrich Seidl and Andrea Arnold.

Don’t Let Them Shoot the Kite (1989)

  • Others
  • 1989, Turkey
  • Leave a comment

A boy, forced to stay with his inmate mother in prison, finds a place of imaginative solace in a young political prisoner, as this Turkish classic subverts the โ€˜prison movieโ€™ by focusing on the communal spirit of women who find a โ€˜homeโ€™ within the four walls.

Heaven’s Gate (1980)

  • Others
  • 1980, USA
  • Leave a comment

Ciminoโ€™s much-derided, massive financial failure of a film at the time can be appreciated today as a monumental piece of workโ€”an ambitious, indulgent and unorthodox American Western, loosely based on the Johnson County War of 1892.

  • Leave a comment

Powerful, insightful, frightening and surprisingly amusing, this documentary gives us unprecedented access into the inner workings of the Taliban as they returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021.

New Year That Never Came, The (2024)

  • Others
  • 2024, Romania
  • Leave a comment

The lives of six Romanians intersect days before the momentous fall of Communist dictator Ceauศ™escu, as this ambitious debut feature with a terrific climax shows us what itโ€™s like to live in a totalitarian country, oblivious to the winds of change just around the corner.

Happyend (2024)

  • Others
  • 2024, Japan, Neo Sora
  • 2 Comments

More political than it appears to be, Soraโ€™s first narrative feature explores the punitive impact of heightened school surveillance as several students rebel against oppression in an increasingly destabilised Japanese society.

Talentime (2009)

  • Others
  • 2009, Malaysia, Yasmin Ahmad
  • Leave a comment

A soft-hearted, if sometimes amusing, elegy about love in all forms, be it unrequited, unconditional or burgeoning, as several students navigate a school โ€˜Talentimeโ€™ show and family problems in Yasmin Ahmadโ€™s sincerely-made final feature.

Sinners (2025)

  • Others
  • 2025, Ryan Coogler, USA
  • Leave a comment

Things go dreadfully south during a wild night in a Louisiana juke joint in Cooglerโ€™s most original work yet, marked by patient setups, foreshadowing, and playful blending of genres in this fervent, intoxicating music-horror.
