This year’s selection of the best from recent film festivals
around the world features four cracking contemporary thrillers. Cell 211 (Friday 17.30) from Spain is a claustrophobic prison drama with an
award winning performance by Louis Toser as the leader of a prisoner’s
revolt.
For fast pacing and
uninhibited screen violence try Yellow Sea (Friday 20.30) from South
Korea. Is Phillip French’s
observation ‘one of the bloodiest movies I’ve ever seen’ a recommendation or a
warning!?
And for the final film
on Sunday will you choose Carancho (TbtL) or Babycall (Alhambra)? From Argentina, Carancho, pitches an emotional love story against the
background of commercial exploitation of injury and death from car accidents
while the Norwegian Babycall
engages us in a psychological dilemma: ‘how far would you go for the ones you
love?’
