Gypsy
A beautiful, epic, modern Gypsy drama about a young man who finds gypsy society too limiting, and wishes to break free from his social inheritance. After his father's death, his mother has married a new man, who seems, more and more, to be the obstacle he cannot get past.

One Hamlet Less
Carmelo Bene's Hamlet is just as much an adaptation of Shakespeare, as of the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's 'Interpretation of Dreams'. Bene's last feature is baroque in style and moving in its raw energy.

Snowtown
Based on some of the worst serial killings in the history of Australia, 'Snowtown' deftly combines social realism à la 'Winter's Bone', with an almost unreal series of events. The film is definitely not for sensitive souls, but for those who dare, it will be an unforgettable film.

Goodbye
In Iran, women are rarely given the chance to cope on their own, but this is nonetheless the case for the lawyer Noura, who loses her license and is left by her husband. A strong and relevant film about clipped wings, by a man who has experienced it first-hand. Rasoulof is currently under house arrest because of his work.

Babycall
Anna (Noomi Rapace) flees together with her 8-year-old son, Anders, from a violent relationship and hides at a secret address in an enormous tower block. But when her baby alarm starts to pick up strange noises from other parts of the house, she perhaps overhears a brutal murder. The simple and elegant plot of a frightening Nordic thriller.

The Arrival of Wang
If Kubrick's 'Dr. Strangelove' had been set in Guantanamo Bay, it would probably have looked like the Manetti brothers' charming account of what would actually happen, if we took in unexpected guests.

The Invader
There is plenty to talk about after watching 'The Invader', about an African man who is washed ashore in Belgium as an illegal immigrant. Virile black men and scrupulous white business women are just two of the subjects that stand out, but most of all, the film is a strong emotional experience.

The Legend of Kaspar Hauser
An androgynous Kaspar Hauser washes up on an almost deserted island, where Vincent Gallo, in a double role as a drug dealer and a sheriff (and part-time DJ), takes him in and sets off an avalanche of surreal scenes. A modern midnight movie for coke casualties, club kids and everyone with a sense of visual excess.

Clip
Even if she lives in a desolate, Serbian concrete hell-hole, with a cancer-stricken father and a burnt-out mother, every day is one big party for Jasna and her gang. Cell phone sex, drugs, booze and brawls with no aim. The young Isidora Simijonovic is fearless in the role of the sexually taboo-breaking Jasna.

Almayer's Folly
The unique French director, Chantal Akerman's loose adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel begins with a murder at a bar, and works its way backwards through the story of a Dutch businessman in 1950's Malaysia, and towards a possible explanation for the tragedy. Jealousy, bitterness and obsession come together in a postcolonial, feverish dream of a film.

Neighbouring Sounds
The global middle class' fears of social unrest and violence are dissected with surgical precision in a Brazilian drama, which, like a Western, takes place in a single street, and where a private security guard is both a good cop and a bad cop. Is it still called paranoia, when everyone's afraid? And if not, what else do you call it?

Scabbard Samurai
After 'Symbol' (PIX 2010), the mad and brilliant Matsumoto has tackled the samurai genre, with a story about a disillusioned samurai, who has to make a small prince smile. The result is a sword-and-kimono-swinging drama and an undermining, clever comedy about how hard it is to be funny.

Human Centipede 2
What does one do after making a film that is as revolting as 'The Human Centipede' - about a sadistic doctor's experiments? One apparently makes a sequel that is several times more repulsive and violent. In stead of making a downright sequel, the director Tom Six has chosen to make a self-ironic work in sadistic black-and-white.

Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy 3D
Randy men and promiscuous women in 3D unfold in a sleazy Chinese softcore movie. It isn't great art, but it is definitely the best Chinese 3D kung fu penis transplant comedy for years, so get ready to duck in the cinema when 'Sex and Zen' gives flying daggers a whole new meaning.
