Katyn

Posted:

BERLIN -- In "Katyn," Poland's master filmmaker Andrzej Wajda vividly and movingly dramatizes one of the last major crimes of World War II to be acknowledgedL the mass execution of 15,000 to 20,000 Polish officers.

Before the Fall (3 dias)

Posted:

BERLIN -- This will not receive the same international attention given to recent Spanish thrillers and horror films. More likely it will be confined to domestic market.

I've Loved You So Long

Posted:

BERLIN -- Rarely do head and heart coalesce to such sublime effect in film as in the debut feature by Philippe Claudel, who directs like a veteran.

Motherland (La terramadre)

Posted:

BERLIN -- Two stories taking place in the Sicilian coastal village of Palma di Montechiaro in this movie, a genuine showcase for the talent of director Nello La Marca.

The Other Boleyn Girl

Posted:

BERLIN -- Anne Boleyn was the one who managed to stay alive while married to England's King Henry VIII for 1,000 days, but her sister Mary in "The Other Boleyn Girl" would have been his queen if only she had been better at making babies.

Sparrow (Man Jeuk)

Posted:

BERLIN -- There's a Cantonese saying that goes: "Though the sparrow is tiny, its organs are intact." That pretty much sums up Johnnie To's "Sparrow", which has a feather-light plot that flies in the face of credibility, but contains all the right components for an entertaining hit.
