Ken Loach confronts first and animation works of Kabul pierce the screen

After opening with the last of Jim Jarmusch film on the red carpet it is made by France prior to the Opera WRETCHED Ladj of LY, in a manner that shows the didactic balienu Parisian views from the point of view of the cops of the French Securité. Two policemen on duty for a long time take charge of the training of a colleague just transferred from the province. In the capital the contradictions of African socio-cultural ghetto blacks are palpable even against European minorities such as gypsies circus with their burden of hatred towards the majority of the local African community. But it is also the rebellion of blacks youth to "non-institutional authority" in league with the powers that be. The ultimate decision of the young protagonist to take revenge of violence and unpunished is left to imagination of the viewer in a crescendo of violence among the last against the last. Instead Brazil BACURAU di Kleber Mendonça & Julian DORNELLES. A story of an indigenous community to survive must imitate hunting ancestors literally the heads of the new invaders. An anthropological and environmental complaint about what's happening today in the South American Continent. Maybe too many topics discussed that distract the viewer struggling with a film language almost perfect. Since the last of Ken Loach film entitled SORRY WE MISSED YOU. The British director from his complaint experience, indeed continues the complaint began with the previous film, among other things winner at Cannes. In the previous indictment is the UK's welfare with its bureaucratic and inhumane ways of assistance and highlighted the empathy among the last subsidies of Her Majesty the Queen. Here we address the issue of new slaves at the mercy dele multinational authors of the much-vaunted globalization. There is talk of delivery and logistics taken to extremes. But it also speaks of family and home care of the elderly. Here is the kingdom of God like money in a meat grinder destroys family relationships. And you get absurd that the smallest of the house should take charge of the family and to mediate between the various components. But Ken Loach has recipes and the final in this film in a sense is pessimistic towards a globalized society where we are all slaves. But this had unfortunately already provided Bazin in his treatise The society of the spectacle with his belief that the means of production, that humans, to produce power then consume. In fact, ask ourselves if we have used at least once online shopping channels where you save, but unfortunately they are a source of pain and exploitation for others. As we said Loach tackles the theme of the family in this festival has an important place as will other movie titles in both the cConcorso which in Un Certain Regard, but also in the two autonomous sections.

The young heroine Ada must address the issue of marriage with a young Omar wealthy family that could provide a better life than that of the original family. The ingredients for a good movie are all there: a beautiful girl, a suitor rich and the penniless lover. The ideas are there, the language of film with the colors of the country of origin (Senegal) pure, it heats some experience especially in the script that is not entirely resolved.

The film chosen for the opening of the selection In some perspective is A BROTHER’S LOVE the Canadian director Monia CHOKRI which with this first work emphasizes a certain kind of comedy that little adapts to a festival's selection.

The first of the animated film is the poignant THE SWALLOWS OF KABUL di Zabou BREITMAN Eléa GOBBE-Mevellec. The swallows are the days of the Taliban in Kabul courage women who did not retreat before the atrocities of the Islamic regime after the invasion of the Russians in the 80s. The animation takes shape on watercolor frame in which is enclosed the suffering of a people with cultural traditions. The final encompasses a sentiment of the rescue of ancient people who found, and it is still to fight for freedom.

A much anticipated return is the one of the Russian Kantemir BALAGOV filmmaker who presents BEANPOLE, a mammoth work that finds its essence in the harsh Russian film canon and dealing with the aftermath of the ashes of World War II in the Soviet Union Stanlin. As we know the toll in terms of human lives was tens of millions of men, but even more dramatic were the consequences of a society made up mainly of young women who were plucked as Slaughter carna the lives of their men. If a comparison is possible is that of the American army in Vietnam veterans. In more than two hours of projection are so many characters including a radio background vocals
