D: Hong Sang-soo (Yourself & Yours, Oki’s Movie, Night & Day, Woman is the Future of Man, The Day a Pig Fell Into the Well).
S: Yunhee Cho, Ki Joabang, Min-hee Kim.
Hong Sang-soo changes things up again. Min-hee Kim here is his most perceptive character.
MARY GOES ROUND ★★★☆☆
D: Molly McGlynn.
S: Aya Cash, Aaron Poole, Sara Waisglass, Kimberly-Sue Murray, Melanie Nicholls-King, Jess Salgueiro, John Ralston.
Winsome. Recognises human imperfections, but soap opera, melodramatic revelations grate.
LES AFFAMÉS (Ravenous) ★★★½☆
D: Robin Aubert.
S: Marc-André Grondin, Monia Chokri, Charlotte St-Martin, Micheline Lanctôt.
Stylish, surreal, tense Québécois zombie flick. De-glamourises genre, but offers little allegory.
EUTHANIZER (Armomurhaaja) ★★★★☆
D: Teemu Nikki.
S: Alina Tomnikov, Jari Virman, Heikki Nousiainen.
Well made revenge movie in the vein of Agnieszka Holland's SPOOR. Funny and affecting.
