Germany, Year Zero (1947)

Filmed on location in War-Torn Berlin, Germany, Year Zero captures the struggles and horror of war and it's aftermath through the eyes of a 13 year old boy. The young boy, Edmond Moeschke gives a heartbreaking performance, and as in many Italian neorealist films, we are left devastated.

13 Tzameti (2006)

It's 13 Tzameti's tension that propels this film. The filmmakers, if anything, know how to genuinely makes us feel uncomfortable. Exploring the dark side of humanity, Sébastien becomes caught up in a game where humans are treated the way some cruel gamblers would treat animals. At only 86 minutes 13 Tzameti adds nothing more than is needed to tell it's dark & frantic story.
