Filmski kotiček, 22. junij 2017 ― Slo naslov: - Država: Irska, VB Jezik: angleščina Leto: 2016 Dolžina: 100' ,  Imdb Žanri: drama, grozljivka  Slo recenzija: - Režija: Liam Gavin Scenarij: Liam Gavin Igrajo: Steve Oram, Catherine Walker, Susan Loughnane [ENG] Sophia is grief-stricken, overwhelmed with sadness since the untimely death of her child. In a desperate attempt to achieve some form of closure, she reaches out to Solomon, an occultist with experience in an ancient invocation ritual that Sophia believes will allow her to make contact with her deceased child. Locked away in a remote country house, the disparate pair undergo the long and arduous incantation process, risking both their mental and physical safety as they attempt to access a world beyond our understanding. Both an exhaustive and intense study of ceremonial magic, and an affecting exploration of the paralysing nature of grief, Liam Gavin’s striking chamber piece defies easy categorisation. In an eye-opening departure from the comic roles for which he is best known, Steve Oram makes for an impressively overbearing occult practitioner, while the superb Catherine Walker provides the film’s gut-wrenching emotional backbone as a mother driven to desperate measures.  -Michael Blyth, BFI Ocena

Filmski kotiček, 21. junij 2017 ― Slo naslov: Eksotika Država: Kanada Jezik: angleščina Leto: 1994 Dolžina: 103' ,  Imdb Žanri: drama Slo recenzija: - Režija: Atom Egoyan Scenarij: Atom Egoyan Igrajo: Bruce Greenwood, Elias Koteas, Don McKellar, Mia Kirshner, Arsinée Khanjian, Sarah Polley [SLO] "Vprašati se moraš: kaj je to osebo pripeljalo sem?" izreče stranski lik na začetku filma. Gre pravzaprav za vprašanje,ki odzvanja v vseh najboljših Egoyanovih filmih, a v Eksotiki ima še dodaten, bolj dobeseden pomen, saj se velik del filma dogaja v strip klubu, ki pa ga junak filma ne obiskuje zaradi običajnih razlogov. Ker je Egoyan mojster v strateškem zadrževanju informacij, gledalec potrebuje precej časa, da ugotovi, kaj se pravzprav dogaja, in še več časa je potrebnega, da se številne niti zgodbe združijo. In ko končno se, se Eksotika izkaže za pretresljivo katarzično raziskovanje posledic tragedije in načinov, na katere se ljudje poskušamo spopadati z neobvladljivo žalostjo. -Kinoteka [ENG] Francis, whose daughter was murdered a few years ago, is always watching Christina dance in the night club Exotica. One night he is dared to touch the girl and ends up being thrown out. He then sends in Thomas to try and find explanations. Ocena
