גרמניה / 1987

סרטו הטוב ביותר של וים ונדרס מתאר את קורותיהם של שני מלאכים המסתובבים ברחבי ברלין (החצויה, של סוף שנות השמונים), עד שאחד מהם מתאהב ומחליט להפוך לבן תמותה. זוהי יצירת מופת שמעטות כמוה נוצרו – בטור דה פורס קולנועי, עשר הדקות הראשונות מהממות ממש – מציע ונדרס חוויה אסתטית ורגשית עשירה ומספקת. יש כאן רומנטיקה, פיוט, אמונה ואנושיות שהפכו את הסרט בשעתו ליצירת מפתח שלכדה את המהות האירופאית ערב נפילת חומת ברלין. זו הזדמנות די נדירה לראות שוב על מסך גדול: אל תחמיצו.

USA / 1963

USA / 1998

After serving five years in prison, Billy Brown is released and immediately kidnaps Layla, a shy and insecure young woman, forcing her to pose as his wife in front of his parents.

Billy grew up in a cold, emotionally barren household, with a controlling mother and an indifferent father, and is determined to hide his failure and criminal past from them.

Over the course of a single day in Buffalo, the forced connection between Billy and Layla begins to shift. What starts as a violent and selfish act slowly turns into an emotional journey about loneliness, love, and childhood wounds.

At the same time, Billy is planning revenge against the man he believes is responsible for ruining his life, leading the film toward a tense and unexpected climax.

Written, directed, and starring Vincent Gallo, the film is an intensely personal, almost confessional work.

Gallo adopts a minimalist and deliberately distant style, using extreme close ups, a slow rhythm, and an intentional sense of alienation.

Lance Acord’s cinematography emphasizes cold spaces and a wintry color palette that mirrors the protagonist’s inner state. The eclectic soundtrack, ranging from soul music to classical pieces, creates an emotional dissonance that follows the characters.

Upon its release, the film was controversial, but over time it has become a cult classic, praised for its emotional honesty, dry humor, and unconventional exploration of wounded masculinity and the need for love.

USA \ 1964

An insane American general orders a bombing attack on the Soviet Union, triggering a path to nuclear holocaust that a war room full of politicians and generals frantically tries to stop.

‘Some Notes on the Current Situation’, is a film about space, time, and wars composed of 6 episodes. Each episode sheds light on a different and unique perspective of the existential, human, and spiritual conditions of the present era.

These episodes, though somewhat divorced from reality, come together to form an absurdist footnote to the current events in the known universe

USA \ 1980

The life of boxer Jake LaMotta, whose violence and temper that led him to the top in the ring destroyed his life outside of it.

USA / 2007

United States, early 20th century.
Daniel Plainview is an oil prospector who devotes his life to an obsessive pursuit of black gold.

We follow him from his early days in the capitalist race to his moments of triumph, as he takes control of vast tracts of land in Northern California on his way to becoming an unrivaled tycoon.

The fifth feature film by Paul Thomas Anderson is a fully realized cinematic epic, demonstrating a sharp and profound command of the language of cinema.

A crucial contribution to the film’s power is the unforgettable performance by Daniel Day-Lewis, which earned him his second Academy Award — a portrayal that embodies American masculinity in its most extreme and ruthless form.

One of the cinematic high points of 2007.

USA \ 2010

Hong Kong / 1994

Sometimes we all feel the loneliness of the big city. This time, we’re not alone.

Two separate yet parallel stories follow two young policemen in Hong Kong, each grappling with lost love and isolation in a sprawling, colorful, and alienating city. Editor’s Pick 🙂

Cop 223 – recently dumped by his girlfriend, he clings to memory through cans of expired pineapple. One night, he encounters a mysterious woman in a blonde wig and trench coat (Brigitte Lin), who’s entangled in the world of smuggling and crime.

Cop 663 – heartbroken after a breakup with a flight attendant. A quirky snack-bar worker (Faye Wong) falls for him in secret, sneaks into his apartment, and begins altering small details—until she slowly awakens him to new life.

A dazzling mix of pop, surrealism, and romance. Rapid cuts and slow motion, neon lights, bold colors, and a restless handheld camera create the sensation of drifting through a dream. With “California Dreamin’” looping again and again, this stylish, poetic film captivated audiences worldwide—and was championed by Quentin Tarantino, who brought it to American screens.

USA \ 2003

USA / 1997

Even from a distance of nearly three decades, this film continues to resonate deeply and touch the heart.

Will Hunting, a young Bostonian working as a janitor at MIT, spends his days drifting around with his friends, drinking excessively, and repeatedly getting into trouble with the law.
Yet behind the tough, aimless exterior hides a brilliant mind — a mathematical genius who effortlessly solves an exceptionally complex problem.

The professor who discovers his extraordinary talent can hardly believe his eyes and does everything he can to tame the wild prodigy. To that end, he enlists a melancholic psychologist, a quiet man still consumed by grief over the loss of his wife.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, then two young actors at the beginning of their careers, wrote an emotionally effective screenplay about success, identity, and happiness on the margins of the American suburbs, and cast themselves in the leading roles.

Gus Van Sant, at the time an acclaimed indie filmmaker, infused the film with sensitivity and restraint through suggestive cinematography and understated direction.

Above all, it is the unforgettable presence of Robin Williams that draws us into the film’s emotional core — allowing us to smile, be moved, and shed a tear.

France \ 1985

Slip on your heels, grab a martini, and vogue your way into the theater — Paris Is Burning is nothing short of a cultural landmark.
This groundbreaking documentary didn’t just coin iconic terms (Madonna took notes), it redefined the visibility of queer life and shaped pop culture as we know it.

Step inside New York’s Ball Culture of the 1980s — dazzling competitions where African-American and Latinx LGBTQ communities created their own families (Houses), their own rules, and their own stages of fashion, dance, and voguing.

Director Jennie Livingston, then a young filmmaker in New York, began with the idea of a short on voguing. Seven years later, after gaining the community’s trust, she delivered a feature that remains one of the most powerful portraits of creativity, survival, and self-expression ever put on film.

The land of Israel is the pearl of the Levant: a steaming hummus swamp; sea on one side, orchards on the other, and in between dunes and camels.
The show rides the imagery of Zionism, bourgeois comfort,

and the boredom of the bohemian class, accompanied by live electronic music and disguised as a wild party in a dark bar.

“The character appears and disappears, wandering among the audience, teasing them, then retreating inward.
She creates a scenario in which racism, sexism, and homophobia become politically correct.
A clandestine cult-like atmosphere emerges, where part of the audience becomes complicit and others fall into it by accident.
It builds a sharp sense of danger, where boundaries dissolve and someone might truly get hurt.”
— Lia Maoz Bergman, audience member
