Pol is a seemingly normal teenager with a family, homework, and a stuffed, English-speaking bear named Deerhoof. All is going well until a new classmate, Icari, arrives in school; despite the warnings of his friends, Pol is drawn inexorably into the dark world into which Icari promises to lead him, and Pol’s fragile balance starts to come undone. A beautifully photographed, tender and original look at teenage angst, Animals brilliantly succeeds in recreating the charged atmosphere of young lives who fear every decision might be irrevocable.

Room 237

USA, 2012, dir. Rodney Ascher, ***

The over-analysis of this cult classic brought to the extreme. For sure there is stuff you will learn about it. Makes you want to watch "The Shining" again, maybe a couple of times, in order to decipher the apparent secrets that are hidden in it.

Paradise: Love

Paradies: Liebe, 2012, Austria, dir. Ulrich Seidl, ****
The first part of Ulrich Seidl’s trilogy. A middle-age woman travels to Africa in search of a local sexual partner. She has both good and bad experiences, fun times and depressing moments. A crude and striking look into human desires.
