Recommended:
Made in Berlin - This surreal film features an excellent cast of unorthodox characters
The Impersonation - What can you fit in 11 minutes of screen time ? Plenty! This is an interesting and unpredictable movie.
42K - Brilliant dark comedy. A little like Dogma, but in a way even better.
A Day in the Country - Metaphysical/psychological. 80 minutes, but feels like it's twice as long.
Rowboat - Interesting premise, but the message doesn't get across
Transformation - Short sci-fi. Not bad, though gets tiring toward the end
Almost a Magician - This one tries to be both comedy and drama, but doesn't really succeed at either.
The Father, Unblinking - I was first put off by the morbid synopsis, but after watching "The Impersonation", decided to give it a shot. Well, I am not sure what this movie conveys. Perhaps, it shows what happens when feelings are suppressed.
