Yesterday I watched ‘Festen’ on video, I taped it from television last week. I saw it in the cinema already, but I did not mind seeing this masterpiece again. Of course the surprise effect, an important element of the film, was gone the second time, but I felt almost the same tension. Festen tells the […]

The Virgin Suicides
April 7, 2003 by

Abouna
March 9, 2003 by

Amine and Tahir try to find him, which brings them into some trouble. Their mother can’t take care of them. They are sent to a strict religious […]
