This summer, Kino Europa offers a unique opportunity for those who remained in Zagreb to watch the best films of last season. In the two hot summer months, films from the ranks of winners and awardees at major global festivals such as Cannes, Sundance, Berlinale, Zagreb Film Festival, and many others are being reprised.
Among the films that should not be missed again is one of the best films of last year – ‘Amour’ by Michael Haneke – about an elderly married couple facing a serious illness. The award-winning comedy ‘The Villa’ is a whimsical story about happiness that can be found in every, even the most ordinary life. ‘Shame’ by Steve McQueen featuring Michael Fassbender in the lead role and ‘Stopped’, an excellent German drama by Andreas Dresen, will also be a pleasure.
The winner of the Golden Bear and the official Italian candidate for the Oscar ‘Caesar Must Die’ tells the story of Italian prisoners, murderers, and mafiosos who prepare their performance of Shakespeare’s tragedy in one of the most secure prisons in Italy. Dreamers will enjoy ‘Faust’, the winner of the Venice Film Festival, while ‘The Door’ starring Helen Mirren will quench the thirst for a good drama. And that, of course, is not all.
