　　匈牙利導演喬治帕爾菲二○○二年初試啼聲，便以處女作《田園風光》一炮而紅。其後的《百年癲狂》更顯瘋狂不羈，在坎城引發熱議。擅於揉合奇想與創意，以魔幻寫實著稱的喬治帕爾菲，新作《公寓瘋光》影像同樣奇幻詭譎，戲劇調度與剪輯美學更貼近夢境囈語。從喜劇、科幻到神話，從歡笑、驚悚到恐懼，在風格迥異的七部短片裡，導演也展現其對不同類型的遊刃有餘。

　　90年代的哥伦比亚电影作为拉美电影的重要一员而受到了国际上更多的瞩目，同时也产生出一批优秀的电影人和作品，塞尔吉奥.卡比雷拉就是其中最突出的一 位，他是90年代哥伦比亚最知名的电影导演。这部《蜗牛的策略》就是他第一部获得广泛赞誉的影片，他自己拍摄此片的时候也没有想到它会引起巨大的成功，影 片不仅成为迄今为止哥伦比亚国内最流行的电影，而且为他获得了94年柏林电影节新电影论坛特别荣誉奖，以及比利亚雷斯拉美电影节当年最佳拉丁美洲电影等众 多国际大奖。

　　一直作為米路斯．科曼劇本鐵三角（另一位是帕培錫，也是本片編劇之一）成員的艾雲．巴薩，當然也走低度戲劇路線。同是音樂家的彼德與卡洛老友重逢，生活狀況大不同，你有伴侶我有家庭，然而都有說不出的不明朗，唯有以酒與音樂代替口水。全片推展不問目的，只在剎那間的意圖，行行企企比起科曼更義無反顧，卻有生活淡如流水的詩意和繆思，叫觀眾聯想到二十年後的伊力．盧馬。巴薩鍾愛音樂的程度不下於文字和電影，古典音樂與民間音樂於全片迴轉迴盪，難怪成了奇斯洛夫斯基十大心愛電影之一。

　　這部1966年的珍品，是捷克新浪潮短暫生命中最佳作品之一。成名音樂家到小鎮探訪舊同學，舊同學是個窮音樂教師，有時在喪禮上吹奏樂曲。平凡的素材在巴素手裡，變出風趣復罕見的旋律，一部憂鬱的喜劇，或灰色喜劇。

　　Ivan Passer's (Cutter's Way and Creator) last film to be made in his native Czechoslovakia is about friends – musician Petr and music teacher Karel – reunited when Petr returns to town for a performance. Passer frequently collaborated with Milos Forman and the episodic, low-action aesthetic that was evident in Forman's early work can be seen here. Years of separation have bred apprehension between the two men, and Karel's simmering jealousy makes their meeting all the more awkward. Eventually, the barriers crumble enough for the pair to freely discuss their lives. The film's simple beauty is in the details of the men's reacquainting themselves with each other, discovering each other's regrets and unfulfilled desires. Alive with pathos, humour and insight.
　　
　　Special Award, National Society of Film Critics Awards
　　
　　Its simple city mouse-country mouse story involves the meeting of two former schoolmates as they prepare for a small-town concert. Enlivened by Passer's flair for grotesquerie, this unassuming masterpiece maintains a delicate balance between hilarity and despair.

　　A film version of a play Fassbinder directed in Hamburg, Clare Booth Luce's "The Women". It gave Fassbinder an opportunity to indulge his passion for working with women - there are forty women in the play and no men.
　　The play dates from the 1930s, and Fassbinder was accused by the critics of being anti-women (a frequent criticism of late). As usual, he chose to work "against" the text, and from this has constructed an entertaining and engaging play about love between upper-class women with nothing better to do than sneer at others when things go wrong with their lives and loves.

　　This film took the top honor at the 1969 Berlin Film Festival. After a series of documentaries, this marks the directorial debut for Zelimir Zilnik. It takes a decidedly anti-Stalinist view in the wake of the 1968 Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia and raises important political questions. He states that although the world has experienced untold wars, there have only been a handful of revolutions with any lasting significance that lead to political change.

　　新年将至，文化宫正在筹备一场盛大的跨年晚宴。奥古尔（伊戈尔·伊林斯基 Igor Ilyinsky 饰）是文化宫新上任的主任，这个严肃的男人决定将晚宴上要表演的所有节目都重新审核一遍，并且在跨年当天发表一份长达40分钟的学术演讲。
　　晚宴上的一切都让奥古尔感到非常的不爽——女演员们的裙子太短、乐队演奏的歌曲太过于花哨和肤浅、参会者竟然想带起花里胡哨的狂欢节面具来遮掩他们的容貌。奥古尔雷厉风行的对整改晚会节目下达了指令，年轻人们当然不会就这样受人摆布，他们决定见招拆招，和奥古尔暗中较劲。

　　Malvís (Alfredo Landa) is sick of working like crazy for nothing. He'd rather become a bandit, that's much better, he's gonna be the fearful Fendetestas! He'll spread panic in the woods of his region. But there's a little problem: there aren't much people living in his region, everyone knows everyone and everyone is so poor, so is gonna be difficult that someone takes Malvís/Fendetestas too seriously.
　　This is a magic history, so funny, and full of situations that will make you laugh. It's also full of characters that belong to the Spanish idiosyncrasy: the strict priest, the Guardia Civil, the old devout women, the village idiot... there's even a lost soul wandering around the woods.
　　The great Alfredo Landa heads a cast that gathered together the best two generations of Spanish scene: from Fernando Rey to Encarna Paso, from Manuel Alexandre to María Isbert... A cast like that would be just unthinkable nowadays. "El Bosque Animado" was the first movie of José Luis Cuerda's trilogy of rural comedies (after this one he made the surreal "Amanece Que No Es Poco", and "Así En El Cielo Como En La Tierra". Those are movies so personal that stress the Spanish culture. The young directors should take note of films like "El Bosque Animado", instead of trying to be the new "enfant terrible" and imitating US worst cinema.

　　How easy is it for desperate youngsters to become dangerous gangsters in a decaying society washed all over by the blood of war? Fairly easy indeed. Rane shows incidents, probably somewhat facts, that took place in Serbia of the war era. Things similar to what you see on this film could happen virtually everywhere, but this film gives a very Yugoslavian feeling to everything. Yugo style mafia, Yugo style murder, and all that. Revolting politicians and their greed are to blame, not only the desperate young men who lose their reasoning while trying to be someone. The film and the casting is overall successful, and it's so very Serbian. I recommend it to anyone who.. well anyone who likes a good film. But don't expect anything American style on this one, as I say it's Yugo to the bone.

　　四名好友参加了一位爱情大师举办的培训班，并因此对各自的恋爱关系产生了质疑— 此时大师的真实动机也逐渐显现。

　　伊利曼佐一向被公认为是最擅长改编捷 克文豪拉拔尔作品的导演，包括【严密监视的列车】、【失翼灵雀】等，两人一共合作了五部作品。拉拔尔擅以幽默俚俗的语调来呈现人民的性格，融政治历史**讽喻于其中。

　　哥伦比亚新浪潮导演Carlos Mayolo的长片处女作，一部哥特风格的幻想片，获葡萄牙幻想电影节最佳女主角和最佳影片提名。是导演向Roman Polanski的《Rosemary's Baby》致敬的作品。
　　"Flesh of your flesh" is a political allegory trhough a love story, framed into the magical colombian universe. In 1955, in the middle of a military dictatorship, a teenage girl seduces her brother and due to their incestous relationship the lovers are possessed by the ghosts of their ancestors. The two youngsters become vampirical and criminal creatures like those created by the colombian "violencia", mingling with the mythological beings of the countryside like "drafts" and other ghost sowing fear into the heart of men.
　　Directed by Carlos Mayolo. Centers on a wealthy family fighting over the last testament of a just-deceased matriarch. From there, the family members are shown to have an incestuous relationship, and eventually vampires come into the picture, as well as unbridled slaughter.
　　Tropical Gothic Baroque. An extremely interesting film about La Violencia in Colombia which captures the strange social and political heterogeneity of this dark set of events. Mayolo developed his own aesthetic - partly in collaboration with filmmaker Luis Ospina and the late Andrés Caicedo - 'el gótico tropical' in order to convey this strangeness. The film combines local Colombian myths - caspi, la madremonte, el hojarasquin del monte - with themes of vampirism and incest to convey the place of La Violencia within a repetitive and cyclical history characterised by interpartisan conflicts that benefit the empowerment of the Colombian aristocracy.

　　A group of Czech artists choose to ignore the realities of Nazi occupation in this brooding experimental war drama.
