"Harry Haft: The Last Stand" (The Survivor)

Harry Haft was a Polish Jew.

In 1943, he ended up in the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he managed to survive thanks to participation in the battles organized by the guards.

After the war, Haft became a professional boxer.

His biography formed the basis of the film by Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson.

Harry Haft: The Last Stand is a Holocaust drama, boxing movie, character exploration and reflection on the nature of guilt.

All these elements do not always fit together, and in addition, the film has uneven and inexpressive moments, but it is still Levinson's strongest work in many years, ”writes Variety author Owen Gleiberman about the film.

The main role was played by Ben Foster, known for the films "Warcraft", "Mechanic", "Train to Yuma" and "Any Cost".

The film also stars Danny DeVito, Peter Sarsgaard, Billy Magnussen and Vicki Krieps.

The original project was released in August 2013 and was the most popular at the domestic box office for two weeks.

"Rattle" (Pahanhautoja)

Variety writer Tomris Laffley compares the horror film Gnawing to films like American Beauty and The Extra-Terrestrial "with an eerie touch of Yorgos Lanthimos."

“But even this comparison does not fully characterize Hanna Bergholm's directorial debut, which is a daring foray into the territory of teenage fears.

There aren't many truly scary moments in the film, but Bergholm skillfully plays with body horror and doppelgänger themes, making the viewer feel delightfully uncomfortable and fidgeting nervously in his chair.

The same atmosphere is maintained here that gave us The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson and The Possessed by Andrzej Zulawski,” the expert writes.

In the story, 12-year-old gymnast Tinya does everything to impress her overbearing mother, whether it's fasting for the sake of sporting achievements or practicing somersaults on high bars until she bleeds.

The mother, meanwhile, is trying to create an image of an ideal family on social networks.

Everything starts to change when Tinya finds an unknown feathered egg and decides to take care of it.

A huge winged creature hatches from the egg, which gradually turns into the evil twin of Tinya.
