Black Jade

Guy Longstreet | USA 2020

If Raymond were a character in his own novel, he would be an unreliable narrator. But his own novel is just a blank sheet of paper. Guy Longstreet's grand contribution to the mindfuck genre is formally staggering and austere at the same time.

Don't Tell Me You Can't Sing

Sabine Timoteo | SUI 2017

Hey Bunny

Barnaby Metschurat & Lavina Wilson | GER 2016

Spit'N'Split

Jérôme Vandewattyne | BEL 2017

The Long Walk

Mattie Do | LAO 2019

The Longest Night

The true story of Argentina's most notorious sex offender, who was proven to have committed at least 93 rapes between 1985 and 2004. Situated between true crime and docudrama, Colman has created a film like a punch in the gut.

The Maestro

Paul Spurrier | THA 2021
The Maestro

Travelator

Dušan Milić | SRB 2014

The long Steadicam shots following Slav on his path to redemption are hypnotic and electrifying. Nikola Rakocevic brings this Slav to the screen with an explosive energy reminiscent of the young Pacino or De Niro in »Taxi Driver«.
