‘Better Go Mad In The Wild’ Review: Miro Remo’s Crystal Globe Winner Gets Up Close And Personal With A Pair Of Eccentric Czech Twins – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
The shadow of the Maysles brothers looms large over the surprise winner of the 59th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, a documentary that can't help but summon up the spirit of the duo's 1975 masterpiece Grey Gardens. That film told the story of two women living in squalor in the New York…

Karlovy Vary Reveals Award Winners: Miro Remo’s ‘Better Go Mad in the Wild’ Takes The Crystal Globe
The 59th International Karlovy Vary Film Festival passed by in a blur this week after playing host to a stream of largely uncontroversial guests compared to previous years. With appearances by Festival President's Award winners Vicky Krieps, Dakota Johnson and Peter Sarsgaard, plus a special cameo…
‘Don’t Call Me Mama’ Review: Pia Tjelta Stands Out In A Surprisingly Subversive Norwegian Immigrant Drama – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
Norway famously gave us Liv Ullmann, muse to the Swedish auteur Ingmar Bergman, but since then, this country of just 5.55 million people continues to punch above its weight, adding a long line of actresses of a similar caliber. Now, to a list that…
‘Out of Love’ Review: Camille Cottin’s Low-Key, Focused Performance Anchors Nathan Ambrosioni’s Family Drama – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
An intriguing premise doesn't quite pan out in Nathan Ambrosioni's latest feature, but there's no denying the potential in this impossibly young, prolific director. France's answer — if the question was ever asked — to Montreal's Xavier Dolan, the 25-year-old is a similarly sensitive and certainly…
‘Broken Voices’ Review: A Young Girl’s Dream Becomes A Nightmare In This Indelible Czech #MeToo Drama – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
Although it seems on the surface to be another film confronting the #MeToo phenomenon, Ondřej Provazník's thoughtful and quite superbly nuanced drama takes a radically different approach to the issue. At times, it certainly is a hard watch, notably in the last 15 or so minutes, but Broken Voices is…
Nadav Lapid Explains The Thinking Behind His Controversial Cannes Hit ‘Yes!’: “I Don’t Understand The World Anymore” – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
If Nadav Lapid's fifth film Yes! didn't exist, it would be almost impossible to think of anything like it. A provocative, intensely sensory and dryly witty study of modern-day life in Tel Aviv, it is likely the first film by an Israeli to confront the elephant in the room: the ongoing war in Gaza. At…
Peter Sarsgaard On Awards, Elon Musk, And Dancing In His New Film ‘The Bride’: “It’s About The Monster In All Of Us” – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
Peter Sarsgaard arrived in Karlovy Vary as one of the festival’s few honorees without a new film in the lineup — instead, he presented his 2003 film Shattered Glass, a visionary real-life drama about an ethically unmoored journalist whose embellished stories in some ways foresaw the media landscape…
Dakota Johnson On Books, Music And Making Movies About Love In The Modern World: “I Learned That Dating Sucks” – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
"This place looks Disneyland," says Dakota Johnson admiringly. It's her first visit to Karlovy Vary, and her attempts to take in the local sights and delicacies have been sadly scuppered by the sheer number of sightseers on the spa town's picturesque main drag. "It was kind of hard to get around, so…
The 59th Karlovy Vary Film Festival Pays Heartfelt Tribute To Jiří Bartoška, Honors Vicky Krieps And Peter Sarsgaard
The recent passing of Czech acting legend Jiří Bartoška, aged 78, was always going to cast a long shadow over the latest edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. President of the event since 1994, and, alongside the late Eva Zaoralová, the chief architect of its renaissance…
Michael Madsen Remembered: The ‘Reservoir Dogs’ Actor On His Journey From Gas Station Attendant To Hollywood Tough Guy: “I Was An Impatient Cat”
Once upon a time in Hollywood, the charismatic heavy with smarts and a heart was a familiar archetype in mainstream cinema — think Robert Mitchum, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, or James Coburn — but the recent passing of Michael Madsen, at the age of 67, could well mark the end of that particular chapter…
Sunny Side Of The Doc’s Awards Go To ‘Heart’, ‘Restless Farewell’, ‘Mama,’ ‘In Front Of Us’, ‘Leonard Cohen: Behind The Iron Curtain’ & More
Given that it only lasts a lean but eventful four days, running from Monday to Thursday, Sunny Side of the Doc has a lot of awards to go round, after handing them out as the 36th edition came to a close last night, the event added up some remarkable figures. Held in the small fishing town of La…
‘Sunny Side Of The Doc’ Managing Director Aurélie Reman On The Importance Of Optimism In A Changing World: “We Try To Build Bridges”
Everything outside may be going to hell, but Sunny Side of the Doc might be the non-fiction world's only real happy place right now. Currently in its 35th year, the event is a testament to the resilience of documentary filmmaking, both in its ongoing support for reality-based storytelling in all its…
