Reviews:

"Belle Toujours": The sequel to Luis Bunuel's 1967 classic “Belle de Jour” is a wry examination of memory and impending mortality.

"Climates": This Turkish film intimate drama in which the landscape of the human face has as much prominence as the exterior landscape and the changing seasons that its central couple experiences.

"Insiang": The first Filipino film to screen at Cannes remains a stinging indictment of the squalor and desperate conditions suffered by the poor during the martial law era of Ferdinand Marcos' regime.

"Mafioso": “Mafioso” is anchored by Alberto Sordi's great performance as an officious Fiat factory foreman who returns with his family to his Sicilian hometown, where he finds that he must fulfill the wishes of the local don.

"The Host": This Korean film is an unashamed genre picture and an old-fashioned monster movie custom-made for midnight showings.

"Triad Election": Starring Simon Yam and Louis Koo, this Hong Kong film is a remarkable examination of the ways such seemingly positive ideas as tradition and family loyalty can be twisted into disturbing ends.
