LES OLYMPIADES (PARIS, 13TH DISTRICT)
Watchable. It's about sex, search for love and relationships so anyone can relate to the subject matter and some will enjoy plentiful female nudity. It's shot in black and white with decent music but isn't artsy. It's rather a tedious drama where even constant sex wears you out. Yet another flick about the lack of love or the fear of feelings among contemporary 30-year-olds.

LESBIAN SHORTS II
The set of 5 short films comprised:
HEGN (FENCE)
Watchable. The reoccuring trope of wild hogs is for nothing and too crazy for my taste. Only one remark about getting bacteria from a partner was interesting - for someone with a knack for science at least.
ENSOM COWGIRL (LONELY COWGIRL)
Watchable. Another crazy short, with blurry pictures meant to reflect the protagonist's agitation. Though the agony of being chucked by the loved one was what I could relate to.
SZCZELINY (THE CRACKS)
Watchable. A protracted short film needlessly extended to 30 minutes. It depicts a family life where nothing happens other than a crying baby. Hazy shots of a frosty landscape are evocative enough.
THE COST OF LIVING
Recommended. A modern British fantasy about a woman attracted to big-breasted Death to the point of provoking her arrivals - these are witty. The sterile-looking office reception looks like from sci-fi movies. The dance scene is beautiful: club music, hot blonde male dancers.
VEILS
Recommended. Excellent cinematography, kind of framing each scene highlights the down-to-earth tale of shame, prejudice and of a dream of a wedding. Endearing. Everyone's so polite - picture-perfect Japan. Or is it picture-perfect?
