The Machinist

The first thing that strikes you when watching “The machinist” is the extreme thinness of Christian Bale who plays the tormented Trevor Reznick. Anderson, the director, wants precisely this effect and we are bombarded with close-ups of the face of the protagonist being all consumed, his ribs and spine standing out.

Kon-Tiki

"Kon-Tiki" tells the story of the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl and the adventure resulting from the decision to cross, with a raft of all-natural wood, the Pacific Ocean from Peru to Polynesia: the aim is to prove the theory that the South Americans were the first ones to step foot on this land (and not Asians, like the dominant theories say).

Outbreak

In 1967 Billy Ford (Morgan Freeman) discovers a virus in Zaire called "Motaba" with a death rate of 100% and which kills within 24 hours of infection. The U.S. government assumea that bombing the infected population will destroy the only outbreak.

Evil (Ondskan)

What are the limits of power? Who do we blame or point at as evil? Who deserves to be punished and how? These are just some of the questions raised by the Swedish film “Evil”. In Sweden, during the fifties, within a conservative and rigid society, the young Erik Ponti, played impeccably by Andreas Wilson, seems to be out of control because of his temper, violent and irascible. Despite this, at home he stands stoically the punches that, for whatever reason, his grim stepfather inflicts on him.
