The 32nd
edition of the Turin Film Festival, an annual event that is as old as this blogger, ran
in my hometown from November 21 to 29. This year the festival offered a rich
selection of American movies of the 70s, so I had the opportunity to catch up with little-seen films like the irresistibly funny Taking Off (1971), which was Czech director Miloš Forman's foray into Hollywood, as well
as renowned ones, like Sydney Pollack's paranoia-drenched Three Days
of the Condor (1975), for which I've miraculously managed to stay
away from spoilers for 32 years. Among the films in competition I saw the short
feature film Zakloni (Shelters) by Ivan Salatić from
Montenegro, in combination with Okean (Ocean) by Serbian
director Tamara Drakulić; I give a brief account of the screenings in the
following.
