I may start posting some more content on here soon though, depending on what treats I can dig up!.

Stella Artois Grand Prix for best film in the Competition at the 11th International Film Festival in Sofia

In order to pay for a life-saving operation for his son, a quite normal man signs a pact with the devil and becomes a solitary murderer.
The deed soon starts hounding Mladen: keeping the secret from his wife forces him into a kind of emotional poker, and his conscience also doesn't cooperate very long in this betrayal of his own moral standards. A "Balkan version of 'Crime and Punishment'", as director Srdan Golubovic writes, set against the backdrop of a transition process gone awry: "a modern 'film noir' about post-Milosevic Serbia, where there is no more war, just a moral and existential desert." Golubovic vividly dissects the personality transformations from the perspective of a confession, always showing great respect for his protagonists. With its distinctive language of images, which finds a style of its own between close-ups and the representation of urban architecture, the film reveals an artistic approach to the theme that points beyond empty metaphors at the personal quality of the story - a story whose pull can't be refused.

GOOD NEWS! - Nicotina a superb crime/gangster film from Mexico was the biggest Mexican movie of 2003 at the box office, is now hitting DVD in the US finally on a collectors edition DVD! ( already out in Spain,Australia with english subtitles ) BAD NEWS - the DVD doesnt hit stores until December.
The film stars now Hollywood actor Diego Luna as computer nerd hacker who comes into contact with a bunch of gangsters. This was probably my favorite film in the year I saw it, its been a while since I saw it, but its a impressive Crime film with some humourous moments thrown in, oh and the ending is a good one to.

The film is directed by Geoffrey Rush who did Romper Stomper and stars Sam Worthington, which looks to be a straight up gangster-action film. The film opened in Australia last year, and didnt do too hot at the box office, but did manage 5 Australian Film Institute nominations.
