NoiBKK Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I have been to this festival from the first time they had it. This year I saw 16 films , 5555 I like "The 1000 Euros Generation" from Italy. A comedy which was quite fun. Another comedy I like is "Run If You Can" from Germany. But I would say the best movies this year are, "When We Leave" from Germany and "Forbidden Fruit" from Finland. When We Leave is a movie about a Turkish woman ran away from a husband and the consequences she had to face as being a Muslim. It is so real and it is happening everyday. Forbidden Fruit is a movie about Two 18 year old girls who was tempted by the world outside their belief ( they are Lutheran Finnish - correct me if I'm wrong.) I love the ending. I would love to know how many TFers went to this film festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajarn Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 [h=1]THE AMBASSADOR[/h]This is from the Sundance Film Festival 2012. Been searching the internet for this one but so far no luck. A strange, enigmatic and decadent white diplomat arrives in central Africa, looking like a mixture of Henry Stanley and Karl Lagerfeld.He has recently bought an ambassadorship and claims to be a do-good rich business man, who has come to spearhead a diplomatic mission.Officially he is there to start a factory that produces matches - this, to employ locals and teach how to make this simple piece of fire-making equipment. Unofficially he is really there to gain access to vast reserves of diamonds.The Ambassador is a genre-breaking, tragic comedy about the bizarre world of African diplomacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
