简介:No bloody slashers have ever before been made in Lithuania. Takashi Miike’s die-hardest fan Jonas Trukanas accomplished his dream and independently created an inventively ripping horror thriller with a minimal budget. Bewitching from the first minutes, the dynamic chase builds a scary atmosphere of danger, fear and horror, while also clinging to luck and chance. “Be the hunters, not the prey,” the school mistress ironically wishes them on the graduation day, when the damnably awesome classmates follow the tradition of renting a cottage for a weekend to celebrate their graduation. They end up in the middle of nowhere for an ultimate prom party. Unfortunately, they make some terribly wrong and naive mistakes on the way. There is no mobile coverage there, as you may expect in line with all the unwritten rules. A mysterious masked savage suddenly shows up with the intention of conducting a stylish massacre. One by one, graduates are barbarously punished and axed for cynicism, arrogance, jealousy, debauchery, blackmail, filthiness, hatred, slandering, and gossiping. So many bright hopes, future plans and promising careers destroyed in just one fateful night at an illegal rave. Only shy Marius is destined to survive and turn misfortune to fortune. But why is the ruthlessly slashing serial killer protecting him Sparked by local myths and legends (co-written with Titas Laucius, director of “Parade” from the First Feature Competition), inspired by beloved classical slashers and enriched by morbid ironic horror, the film unites whole gang of talented Lithuanian youngsters, led by Gabija Bargalaitė after her immersive debut in “Pilgrims” (Winner of Venetian “Orizzonti”). A small indie gem with hidden easter eggs and uncredited cameos.
简介:Blitz Patrollie chronicles the adventures of Rummy Augustine (Joey Rasdien) and his partner, Ace Dikolobe (David Kau), police officers who have had the misfortune of being stationed in a little known depot in the belly of the Johannesburg CBD. Rummy is bogged down with trying to start a family and an overbearing mother-in-law who just won't move out. The overzealous Ace, on the other hand, can think of nothing better to do in the morning than to put on his lucky bulletproof vest and head out to kick some bad guy ass. Whilst in a poor white neighborhood, trying to solve yet another small-time crime, Rummy and Ace, along with their inept sniper colleagues, accidentally stumble upon a massive drug haul. What ensues is a series of mishaps as the duo encounter some of the city's craftiest crooks in a race against time to catch the bad guys and claim their place in crime fighting glory.

简介:咪咪屡屡在女孩团体里冲突闯祸,乐可却总困惑于自己能够爱谁。即将迎来一场大赛的艾玛苦练多年滑冰,却始终无法克服最难的招式。在即将到来的三个礼拜中,三人仿佛经历一场场摇晃又旋转的时光。做爱与恋爱、相聚或分离、交心或冷战,不间断地演练与挫折,宛如踩进一个不时短路的青春循环。 芬兰导演艾莉.哈帕塞洛以周记式的叙事结构,探究女孩成长过程中,时而直率、时而反复不安的情感特色,直接却不带批判。透过灵动的摄影与乐曲,将少女独有的亲密和芥蒂描摹得淋漓尽致。三个年轻演员各有鲜明个性,幽微投射欲望、亲子与人际难题,一次次将观众抛向点餐台、溜冰场、派对舞池,与城市的寂寥黑夜。随着影片起舞,仿似也重新回味了青春时代的温度和或许未完成的人生轨迹。 Best friends Mimmi and Rönkkö want to live adventurous lives, loaded with experiences and passion. Emma, on the contrary, has given her whole life to figure skating. Nothing gets between her and success. But when the girls meet, life opens whole new paths, and they all rocket in new directions. While Mimmi and Emma experience the earth moving effects of first love, Rönkkö is on a quest to find pleasure. Three Fridays is all it takes to turn their worlds upside down. It kind of became my mission to depict girls in a much more complex and realistic way than we are used to seeing in cinema. And to create a film where girls are valued as exactly who they are. – Alli Haapasalo
