CIRCLES<br />
KRUGOVI<br />
Serbian director Srdan Golubović tackles the scars of<br />
war in Circles, a moving film about the damage done<br />
to people’s souls from the hostilities that racked the<br />
region for years.<br />
Based on a true story, the film opens with a horrific<br />
event in 1993. Marko (Vuk Kostic), a young Serbian<br />
soldier, returns on leave to his Bosnian town. He<br />
intervenes as a gang of soldiers are mercilessly<br />
beating a Muslim shopkeeper (Leon Lucev), but<br />
before we can see what happens, the film jumps<br />
ahead 12 years to examine the consequences<br />
of the act.<br />
‘Golubović keeps the viewer so off-balance and hungry<br />
for story that the upshot is exhilaration’ Variety<br />
Mon 17 Feb / Light House 2 / 4pm / 112 minutes<br />
Director: Srdan Golubović 2012 France/Serbia/Germany/Slovenia/Croatia<br />
Writers: Melina Pota Koljevic, Srdjan Koljevic<br />
Cast: Aleksandar Bercek, Nebosja Glogovac, Vuk Kostic<br />
Winner, World Cinema Special Jury Prize, Sundance Film Festival<br />
With the support of the European Commission’s programme on<br />
enlargement of the European Union<br />
What makes it all work is Golubović’s obvious skill<br />
with actors and the quality of the performances.<br />
Lucev is appropriately resolute as the shopkeeper,<br />
while Rakocevic as the tortured doctor Bogdan and<br />
Bercek as Marko’s embittered father are pitch perfect.<br />
Golubović and his cinematographer Aleksandar Ilic<br />
have an eye for the sparseness of this terrain, yet<br />
find the beauty in it. The camera remains still, so as<br />
not to disturb or overly embellish the fabric of these<br />
lives. When it finally comes, their redemption and<br />
forgiveness is like a breath of fresh air.<br />

INEQUALITY FOR ALL<br />
‘a revolutionary film’<br />
The Guardian<br />
Mon 17 Feb / Cineworld 8 / 6pm / 90 minutes<br />
Director: Jacob Kornbluth 2012 US<br />
Winner, Special Jury Prize, Sundance Film Festival<br />
Fresh from Sundance, where it won the Special Jury<br />
Prize, Inequality for All examines widening income<br />
inequality in the United States of America. Presented<br />
by Robert Reich, Secretary of Labour in the Clinton<br />
Administration, and now a professor of public policy<br />
at the University of California at Berkeley, the film<br />
investigates how the rich have gotten richer and<br />
the rest of us haven’t. Director Jacob Kornbluth<br />
takes complex economic ideas and deftly explains<br />
how they relate to the quality of everyday life as<br />
lived by most ordinary people. One of the film’s<br />
great strengths is its interview subjects, who range<br />
from Erika Vaclav, a Costco check-out clerk, to Nick<br />
Hanauer, a Seattle billionaire who believes that his<br />
taxes should go up. Incisive, accessible and funny<br />
(who knew Reich had such a sense of comic timing?),<br />
Inequality for All is a landmark documentary on the<br />
defining issue of our time.<br />
Seattle International Film Festival<br />
There will be a post-screening panel discussion,<br />
presented in association with TASC, featuring<br />
Sally Anne Kinihan, Nat O’Connor and Margaret<br />
Ward, moderated by Seán Whelan, RTÉ’s<br />
Economics Correspondent.<br />
