7. cold war
For "Ida" Pole Paweł Pawlikowski received in due time "Oscar", Surpassing in voting by Andrei Zvyagintsev. A shown in Cannes for the "cold war" contest - only prize in the category "Best Director". Although, judging by the reviews, I could go with the "Palme d'Or", whether the jury a little more supportive.
As in "Ida", Pawlikowski continues to explore the historical trauma of the Polish people through the prism of deeply personal stories. Here and in the center of the "Cold War", it would seem, the story about the time strung relations Zuly singer and pianist Victor against the backdrop of silent confrontation of communism and the West. In fact, this touching and incredibly beautiful message directed to parents whose lives repeat the fate of the characters on-screen.

12. The house that Jack built
We have long suspected that no film Lars von Trier can not do without scandal. Premiere of a new tape of Danish provocateur only confirmed this axiom.
On the day of the show journalists vied wrote that from the audience came out more than a hundred people. Many complained that the film mocking women and children (the list is offended does not end). One of the main hearings began stuffing that cut through the story foot duckling was real.
Trier himself, as usual, in response only smiled. While dosidevshie until the end of the critics carried out the necessary parallels and came to the conclusion that the story about a maniac Jack, who erected the murder of an art - it's not just trierovsky paraphrase of "Hell" by Dante, but also caustic criticism of the themselves. Nervous clearly better to pass.
