Porcelain Doll is a film that will make you a believer. Although the stories in this movie are fairly different, they share a central theme of resurrection. And while the film may seem quite fantastical, the beautiful way in which the characters lives are woven together by a common bond of survival can only force a viewer to connect, rather than pass it off as just some majestic fairytale. The simple way in which Porcelain Doll paints a much bigger picture is what makes it such a unique and stunning film. And while a film about miracles, it doesn't need the big theatrics of Hollywood cinema to touch the heart and intrigue the senses. A must see for anyone with an open mind and an understanding of symbolism in the arts.

The Last Blues is a fascinating story very similar to Woody Allen's Match Point. Set in Budapest and Poland, the story takes place in a 24 hour period and follows a married man (Andris) as he discovers that his mistress (Bea) is pregnant and has decided to marry her. The story takes a great turn as Andris is driving to his wedding in Poland. The film makes you uncomfortable in a good way that keeps you on the edge of your seat to the very end. The acting is great and as with many Hungarian films, the visuals are stunning. The music is also very good at lending a hand to the bizarre twists and turns of the plot. A must see film for anyone interested in love and It's tribulations.
