That's correct... three more movie reviews from the BIFF.
Saturday's movie was called 'Dancing with Dictators'. Initially a camera team wanted to follow the only foreign editor of Burmanese newspaper and report about the first elections held in the country for 20 years. But as the editor gets arrested and everybody else is forced to leave the country, this documentation takes unexpected turns. It's very interesting to see how Human Rights are treated in Burma, even though at some points the movie just scratches on the surface... Nevertheless a recommendable documentation.
The first movie I attended on Sunday is called 'Trollhunter'. As it is very hard to describe, what this movie is about I just quote the BIFF here: 'Trollhunter sports the point-of-view camera style found in [...] Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield but [...] turns the over-serious horror-mockumentary genre on its head [...]. An original and highly assured fusion of B-movie ore and fairy-tale error.' That kinda fits it, it's good fun.
The final movie was 'Melancholia', unfortunately I was slightly disappointed with it. Even the movie and sound were quite impressive, the storyline wasn't. As it was lacking a bit of structure at some points and having fundamental scientific mistakes. I've definitely seen better movies by Lars von Trier. Anyways still interesting to watch, but definitely not the best movie of this Festival. Still an interesting movie about depression and Armageddon. TRAILER
