Thursday 28 January
* Good for Nothing, Yoshida Kiju, Japan 1960,4
Yoshida’s striking debut film. Good for Nothing depicts a new moral amongst the youth,
estranged from the previous generation that had brought about the postwar economic
miracle. Bored middle-
* Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes Anderson, VS/VK, 4
This film based on Roald Dahl's children's story focuses on Mr. Fox, the fox who promises his wife faithfully that he will stay on the straight and narrow path. However, a fox does lose its hairs, but never its tricks. The evil farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean want to take their revenge after someone has broken into the house. Mr. Fox feels it's necessary not only for himself, but also for all the animals in the forest, to go to all ends to fend off the attacks. Very funny and well made. With voice of George Clooney as mr Fox and Merryll Streep as Ms Fox.

* City of Life and Death, Lu Chuan, China,4
Impressive chronicle in beautiful black & white about the horrors inflicted by the
Japanese in 1937 after they conquered the former Chinese capital Nanjing. Lu Chuan
does not only show the random nature of executions and rapes, but also the horror
of a well-

* Moscow, Cheol mean, Korea, 2
The joyful reunion of two former school friends changes to a confusing confrontation when the differences between the two girls emerge. Lost ideals and the desire for happiness against the background of a fierce Korean trade union battle. But boring, slow and over the top.
* prophete, Un, Jacques, Audiard, 4
Widely praised film has a powerful leading role by Tahar Rahim as the 19-
* Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call -
Werner Herzog's remake of Abel Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant (1993) moves the setting

* Blood and Bones, Sai Jochi, Japan, 4
In this epic fresco, Sai explores social history through one man, a Korean emigrant

empire. Sai’s brilliant recreation of a vanished community raises difficult questions
about Korean-

* My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? Wernor Herzog, US/Germany, 3
Werner Herzog's horror film 'without axes and chain saws'. An actor in a play about
Oedipus threatens to kill his real mother. He shuts himself up with two hostages
and while the police negotiate outside, flashbacks show how things could have got
this far. David Lynch co-
* Lebanon, Samuel Maoz, Israel, 5
With the autobiographical Lebanon (Golden Lion in Venice), Samuel Maoz returns to
the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. An operation to clear a small town turns into a
chaotic nightmare. A claustrophobic tour de force -
Saturday 6 February
* Hadewijch, Domont, France, 3
A young novice is thrown out of the nunnery and leaves with an Arab for the Middle East in order to sacrifice herself for her God. Bruno Dumont's Hadewijch is not interested in a specific conflict or a specific religion, but in the psychology of fanaticism. But not very convincing. The movie starts well but after some time it becomes vague and transitions unprobable.
* Mujer sin piano, La, Rebello, Spain, 4
Rebollo was inspired by the sight of a respectable lady sitting at night by a closed bus station. What was she doing there? The film had to give the answer. 'His' Rosa is a housewife with a secret second life for one noght. Beatiful acting and great camera work. A pleasant movie to finish the festival.
