 Christoffer Boe's Offscreen - Festival review (contains minor spoilers)
After Allegro, Danish maverick director Christoffer Boe returns to the Venice Days for the second year in a row, this time with the experimental Offscreen. In the film, a director called Christoffer Boe is called upon to create a film using the footage left by actor Nicolas Bro, who has gone missing. In an early scene, Boe hands Bro a small digital camera to realise the actor's plan to make a "love film" about himself and his wife Lene (played by Lene Maria Christensen). But love soon runs out, and how does one make a love film without love? |

Zwartboek (Black Book) - Festival review
Dutch Director Paul Verhoeven returns to his native Netherlands for the WWII thriller Zwartboek (Black Book). After many effects-laden Hollywood blockbusters, he presents us here with a much more personal and morally ambiguous work that does not solely rely on slicky produced screen spectacle to wow the audience (though it also contains its fair share of that), but instead offers a look at humans under the inhuman stress of war that is more nuanced than almost any grand-scale war film; Nazi officials such as Zwartboek's Ludwig Muntze are unlikely to make an appearance in any American film soon. Anyone interested in exploring the numerous shades of grey of people on both sides in wartime (and who think they will not be offended by what that implies), will find a huge amount of material to mine here, even though not everything works as intended. |
