U posljednjih nekoliko godina moja sestra i ja jako mnogo putujemo. Kada se saberu zemlje koje je ona posjetila i koje sam ja posjetio, brojka bi vjerojatno prelazila 40 zemalja svijeta. Mada, oboje volimo putovati i uživamo u istraživanju novog i drugačijeg, postoji jedna stvar po kojoj se naša putovanja značajno razlikuju. Po količini stresa […]

Vjerojatno najčešće pitanje koje mladi putnici poput mene dobiju je „Otkud ti tolike pare da putuješ?“.

Karijeru braće Jean-Pierra i Luca Dardennea za one manje upoznate s njihovim radom, obilježio je niz društvenih drama s fokusom na aktualne probleme u regiji (Belgija/Francuska).

Maybe the better question than the titular one would be, why would somebody even want to try something like that? Well as a long-time cinephile, and a film critic, in the past five years I developed incredible love towards films with extremely long runtime. At first, I just enjoyed the big-budget, good old celluloid classics […]

Zainteresirati prosječnog filmskog gledatelja za filmove prikazane na Cannes Film Festivalunije nimalo jednostavan zadatak. Realno gledano, u proteklih nekoliko godina ono što je uglavnom dopiralo do generalne filmske publike bile su plitke senzacije poput sporova s Netflixom (Okja, The Meyerowitz Stories), tabu filmova koje nježna festivalska publika nije mogla svariti (Raw, The House That Jack Built) te manje-više […]

You do not work for us, you work with us … you are master of your own destiny, “says the voice of Maloney (Ross Brewster), storage manager at the opening of the movie “Sorry We Missed You”, directed by Ken Loach. And as we are already accustomed to the British filmmakers career, what is there […]

Ti ne radiš za nas, ti radiš s nama… gospodar si svoje sudbine“, govori glas Maloneya (Ross Brewster), upravnika skladišta u uvodu filma Sorry We Missed You, redatelja Ken Loacha.  I kako smo već navikli iz karijere britanskog filmaša, ono što nas očekuje je sto minuta društvene drame u kojoj će figura radničke klase, ovog puta obiteljski  […]
