DFF '15: Emelie (Michael Thelin)
in Film Reviews
Sort of like Funny Games crossed with Adventures in Babysitting with a touch of Home Alone thrown in, Michael Thelin’s thriller is constantly enthralling thanks to its pacing and lead performance by Sarah Bolger.

in Film Reviews
Der Bunker is a tightly structured German film set as if it were a modern fairy tale with surrealistic twists. At times claustrophobic.

in Film Reviews
Only an hour, but constantly infuriating, India's Daughter is a powerful film that has been met with censorship. Director Leslee Udwin uses a single incident to comment on a society as a whole.

in Film Reviews
Nakashima has created, with his latest The World of Kanako, a perfect feature to follow up his previous film Confessions (2010). Just as in that film, he crafts a world that is beautiful in its absence of hope.

A quiet post-apocalyptic love story that uses Ethiopian landscapes as its setting and treats items of pop-culture and consumerism (Michael Jackson vinyl, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toy, plastic sword) as ancient relics.
Read MoreTheory of Obscurity: A Film About the Residents is one of the must see films at this year's Denver Film Festival (according to us at least).

in Blu-ray/DVD
Produced by the Ninjin Club, a production group established by the three actresses Keiko Kishi (who appears in the film as the Yuki-onna), Yoshiko Kuga, and Ineko Arima, Masaki Kobayashi’s Kwaidan was a major undertaking. At three hours in length, Kobayashi presents four kaidan, strange period tales involving ghosts.

in Film Reviews
It’s almost twenty years since Kiyoshi Kurosawa emerged with his first true masterpiece. While I do hold a special place in my heart for The Excitement of the Do-Re-Mi-Fa Girl (1985), Cure is most assuredly where the promise of his genius is maintained in every single frame.

in Blu-ray/DVD
Fujita's follow up to Fine, Totally Fine is worthy of its spiritual predecessor with wonderfully human characters who try to strive past their quirks rather than relishing in them in a self-aware way. A truly feel-good story from Third Window Films.
