Definitively Castellitto film calls my attention but I'm puzzled with the casting; been following everything about Paraguay's 7 Boxes as seems film is my kind of film; glad to find a new Marian Crisan movie that seems to have great visuals - similar to Mungiu's latest film. Lasse Hallström and Laurent Cantet films are highly attractive for me, as well as became really interested in Bahman Ghobadi's film. But most interesting to find a new Rodrigo Plá movie plus the latest Costa-Gavras film that instantly become must be seen for me.

As we know the FIPRESCI Grand Prix for Best Film of the Year is given at the fest opening gala; FIPRESCI already announced the film and is none other than Amour (Love) by Michael Haneke. From the Thematic Retrospectives, worth mention is the In Progress - Ten Years With Latin America Cinema as for those that enjoy non-traditional cinema from the region, films to be screened make a great list to check films you may have forgotten, list is here.
