What was I thinking…

Thinking it would be a a piece of cake giving every single film we watched at the 27th Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival a treatment on our site. I sure underestimated the amount of work that would go into this crazy idea. So it took a bit more time and effort than I at first anticipated to get this overview completed…

Cold hands, warm heart

Air Doll   Offscreen 2010 mini logo comedyHirokazu Koreeda already gained critical acclaim with splendid features like After Life (1998) and Nobody Knows (2004). In his latest, Air Doll, Korean actress Du-Na Bae (Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance & The Host) portrays an inflatable sex doll that grows a heart – technically, it’s something closer to a soul and a conscious – leaves her natural bedroom habitat and sets off into the city to discover what life has to offer (and very much unaware of it all). She finds her way to a video store. By far not the worst place to start with your first job.

Amer   Offscreen 2010 mini logo dramaWe all go through cycles in life. And we also grow and evolve outside these cycles. We leave paths laid out for us, we seek adventure. We also revisit places we came from. In the real world, and in our minds. In a way, this is what Amer is about. It is to me. But as a film, it’s something else.
