Solve the puzzles-if you can-in the most mysterious, action-packed shoot-'em-up ever!

American director Joshua Marston emerged in 2004 with the jolting, Oscar-nominated Maria Full of Grace, about a young Colombian woman working as a drug mule. In his remarkable follow-up, The Forgiveness of Blood, he turns his camera on another corner of the world: contemporary northern Albania, a place still troubled by the ancient custom of interfamilial blood feuds. From this reality, Marston sculpts a fictional narrative about a teenage brother and sister physically and emotionally trapped in a cycle of violence, a result of their father’s entanglement with a rival clan over a piece of land. The Forgiveness of Blood is a tense and perceptive depiction of a place where tradition and progress coexist uneasily, as well as a dynamic coming-of-age drama.

De leur premier à leur dernier film, Ces rencontres avec eux, Danièle Huillet et Jean-Marie Straub n’ont eu de cesse de creuser, d’extraire pour rendre visible et faire entendre. Tournés en Allemagne, en France ou en Italie, ces films, fruits d’un travail généreux et attentif, sont toujours dédiés aux sujets qui les occupent: ici Franco Fortini, Cesare Pavese et Elio Vittorini. Chacun d’eux est une rencontre avec une œuvre où l’auteur a autant choisi les cinéastes que ces derniers l’ont choisi. Voilà un cinéma respectueux, précis, tendu et nerveux, massif et subtil, un cinéma travaillé par l’essentiel et les vibrations du présent. Et bien loin de l’élitisme auquel certains voudraient le confiner. Car offert à tous, humblement. A tous les yeux, toutes les oreilles, désireux de l’accueillir. Et de partager.
