TOIVON TUOLLA PUOLEN (THE OTHER SIDE OF HOPE)

Recommended. Atmospheric and scintillating, with irony permeating the whole film. "Foodie's Mecca" was just hilarious. Retro scenography and costumes are combined with high-tech elements of our contemporary world creating a town lost in time.

TANNA

Watchable. Fantastic cinematography shows beautiful landscapes of Vanuatu at all times of day and night as well as muscles on nearly naked bodies of people living traditionally off manual work and running long-distances on a daily basis. Everything appears to be happening according to the laws of nature. The thing is - it isn't. The tradition of arranged marriages ruins the paradise. The love story is shown quite unemotionally.
