Rotterdam film festival

You will find me on the following movies

Wo 24 21.00 Rescue down
Kind of interesting. An American soldier ends up in the jungle of Vietnam and tries to survive. The guy is the typical American cool, funny, kind of Tom Cruise soldier. I spend the whole movie waiting for the part were everything goes wrong but nothing happened. Happy end and god bless America.
Do 25 19.15 Familia tortuga
Slow but interesting movie. A Mexican family with a father who lost his job taking care of a family. Every character is really developed with enough time to go deep into each one.The uncle (who also lives with them) takes a special role. "Rosita, rosita donde estas Rosita?", looking for the lost turtle.

Za 27 15.45 La antena
Beautiful and special movie in a world where nobody has voice. Black and white, images, symbols and metaphors. Lot's of words (palabras). Reminded me Farenheit 451. Deep message in the background.
Di 30 21.30 transe
Penetrating difficult movie with beautiful images and scenes. Sonia (with strange beautiful semi-transparent eyes) goes from home Rusia into Europe to find a better future. She ends up in the prostitution circle. The movie stays between dream and reality. Slow and poetic at the same time.
Do 1 19.45 Rdam shorts
21.30 Red road
Vr 2 21.30 Half moon
20.00 At the river
