18th International Athens Film Festival – 2012

The festival ended on Sunday. Yet, the essence of the last movie I saw, “The Beasts of the Southern Wild” was still “played” in my head. For some reason, it was impossible for me to write a post for it and “close” the festival. Until today. I am not entirely happy with what I wrote but some things need to be wrapped up some time!

This was a much better festival than the one last year.

Regarding new movies, the best ones are:

• The Sessions
• Beasts of the Southern Wild
• Monsieur Lazhar
• Rust and Bone
• Garbage in the Garden of Eden

Then

• Barbara
• Safety Not Guaranteed

You may also enjoy:

• See Girl Run
• On the Road
• Cosmopolis
• Smashed

and

• Rent-A-Cat
• Faith, Love and Whiskey
• Amour

The following are not bad

• Una noche
• Gimme the Loot

but I would avoid the following:

• Between Us
• Graceland

Regarding old movies

• The Firemen’s Ball is a masterpiece and
• Pigs and Battleships is very good

Each movie has its own post and rating 🙂
