Film Reviews Always
an incredible simplicity, the economy of means of a Luc Moullet. A Moullet
who would film in colour a black- and-white screenplay of Mizoguchi's...
There is a spirit of warm encounters, of fraternity, something which truly
cannot be expressed with words. There is a lost masterpiece in the Film
Market. Discovered quite by chance. And waiting. LIBERATION This is almost
a one-man job, written, produced, directed and acted by Stavros Tornes. It
is an off-trail work, a skillful poetical film... Balamos is a wandering
man living in a fantastic world. He wishes to buy a horse and travel on
it. He meets many obstacles to find one and goes through strange
adventures and situations which lead him to overcome the limits of time
and place. Balamos lives between reality and his imagination... Stavros
Tornes' direction is remarkable. The same goes for his acting. The rest of
the cast is good as were all other technical credits. Variety |
