Karlovy Latest Reviews

The military attempts to contain a manmade combat virus that causes death and permanent insanity in those infected, as it overtakes a small Pennsylvania town.

A boy's bond with his pet sheep strengthens after the loss of his mother... but trouble with his relatives brews.

A rube named Pepa robs cottages for cash but the discovery of a strange video recording points him to a place where he’ll find a treasure of immense value... little realising there is a plan for those who turn up looking for it.

A level-headed engineer arrives to repair a creaking old wind turbine. Out there in the misty woods he also goes in search of something else deep inside him.

Stories based on the 1001 Nights but transplanted to the present day. The film is split into three parts.

The story of the relationship between an Amazonian shaman and two scientists who, decades apart, search the Amazon for a sacred healing plant.

The new adventures of God, who lives in Brussels with his teenage daughter and falls foul of her hacking skills.

A mosaic of stories whose common denominator is the fight for survival, forgiveness, and new opportunities.

Twin boys suspect that their mum, who has just undergone reconstructive facial surgery, is an imposter and set out to discover the truth.

Dedicated home care nurse Vlasta lives for her husband, her daughter, and her patients. But then one day things change and Vlasta is forced to react.
