Executive produced by award-winning filmmakers Werner Herzog and Errol Morris, The look of Silence Is about director Joshua Oppenheimer’s footage of perpetrators of the 1965 Indonesian genocide. A family that survives the genocide in Indonesia confronts the men who killed one of their brothers.This film focuses on where the murderers remain in power: he confronts the men who killed his brother and, while testing their eyesight, asks them to accept responsibility for their actions.  Definitely in 1h 43m, the voice of time dull of devastating events such as death threats, betrayal, war atrocities, and for those victims of Indonesia’s communist purge and more will amaze you. Despite the U.S. government played an important role in the 1965/66 mass killing in Indonesia takes a sensitive subject of the history. This unprecedented film initiates and bears witness to the collapse of fifty years of silence. Silence, in other words, is the sound of reconciliation with different ideologies that only emphasize the abyss.

From Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano, the acclaimed writing and directing duo of The Intouchables, are back with “Samba.” For ten years, Senegalese immigrant Samba (Sy) has stayed under the government radar, taking menial kitchen jobs in the hope of becoming a professional chef.  Suddenly, as his longtime ambitions for a better life seem just within reach, immigration authorities hit Samba with an order to leave France immediately. Stubbornly holding onto his dream, Samba pins his hopes for a reprieve on a local immigration advocacy center and Alice (Gainsbourg), an emotionally vulnerable volunteer with little experience but plenty of heart. He finds a second home at the center with Alice and her colleagues, including brusque law student Manu (Izïa Higelin), do-gooder Marcelle (Hélène Vincent) and naïve Maggy (Jacqueline Jehanneuf), as they search for a way for him to stay in France.

During 1 hr. 58 min Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano reflect a new comic drama style. Both are versatile and irresistible. This film is, in the context of French society, quite embarrassing. The French are often loved for being articulate and sophisticated. But this film reveals that there is still profound resistance to engage with the issues of representation of French society because of resistances to debate about immigration, multiculturalism, and race. Anxiety, confusion, and discomfort are elements seen in this film in which ending will surprise you.

Adapted from the bestselling novel by author John Green (“The Fault in Our Stars”) and director Jake Schreier, Paper Towns is a coming-of-age story centering on Quentin and his enigmatic neighbor Margo, who loved mysteries so much she became one. After taking him on an all-night adventure through their hometown, Margo suddenly disappears–leaving behind cryptic clues for Quentin to decipher. Here is when true love will be as profound as friendship.

Although this great film involves a particular social group of high school friends and this exploration of the kind of relationship that can’t help but teach us a little bit about ourselves and how some young lovers react after loving an idea of a person. With a great cast  Nat Wolff, Cara Delevingne, Halston Sage, Austin Abrams, Justice Smith, Jaz Sinclair, thus film has awesome things should happen and adventures should be started.

From Director Damián Szifron and a great cast Ricardo Darín, Oscar Martínez, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Érica Rivas, Rita Cortese, Julieta Zylberberg, and Darío Grandinetti that makes each character a different world around you. A waitress adds a special ingredient to an arrogant loan shark’s meal in one of several tales dealing with extremes of human behavior. With great energy in some stories more than others, stress and depression for many people could result in a well and interesting dark comedy with certain tragedy. It was co-produced by Agustín Almodóvar and Pedro Almodóvar. The film’s musical score was composed by Gustavo Santaolalla so now debuts on Blu-ray, DVD and digital HD in 122 minutes in Spanish language with English subtitles. All these elements can be enjoyed in each scene with deception and revenge make it true artistic vision.
