бАШТАТА (THE FATHER)
Watchable. What's it supposed to be about? Because the fact the titular father loses it after his wife's demise doesn't lead to any catharsis, regardless of what the film implies. When the elderly man goes missing, you want to know what happened and afterwards uncertainty rules. The loving son is convincing. But there's nothing more to maintain your interest. Most notably, the film's got no point. And yes, I did notice the satire on Bulgarian health service, police, traditional beliefs. But that ironic illustration of life is just a series of events on the way.
THE WISHMAS TREE
Recommended. A delightful cartoon with cute animals, where the main protagonist, Kerry, is a young possum discovering the world, crossing the safety zone, bearing the consequences of breaking rules imposed by adults and, in the process, learning to love strangers, be cautious with them at the same time, experiencing an evil influence on a friend - all in a child-level form. And it looks lovely, you'd just love to cuddle the possums, the turtle, not sure of the vampire. It's Australian hence the map and the possum's dream of snow. The story's universal though.
