King of Devil's Island - Norwegian. An intense film set in a correctional facility. Structured almost like a prison film, it is entertaining without sacrificing the subtlety. A great watch.
Kofta - Netherlands. A cute little Chaplinesque comedy.
Lemon Tree - An Israel film about a Palestinian woman who lives in the border and her house is next to that of the defence minister of Israel. An interesting concept treated in a masterly way. Had some quirky humour as an added bonus.
About Elly - This was superb. Great attention to detail, great characters, good suspense. All in all a great film.
Adaminte makan Abu - A Malayalam film about a couple that wants to go for a Haj tour. Simple yet subtle. A very good film.
Mao's last dancer - Australian. Love Story of a Chinese ballet dancer set in a politically charged situation. Nicely done.
Colours of the Mountain: A Colombian film that has kids in the main roles and Guerrilla warriors in the background. An excellent film. A lighthearted film with a grim background. A must watch.
Flying pigs: A very good film on Hooliganism. Football fans would connect more easily with the story line. It was nicely done.
Top Floor left wing: Think of a Sociopolitical satire, think of a film having a hostage crisis and then Laugh out loudly. Now think of a Hostage film which is a Sociopolitical satire and makes you laugh out riotously and you have this film!!
A separation - Another classic drama by the Iranian director Asghar Farghadi. Expertly done with deft touches.A must watch
