The 24th Milan Film Festival opened on October 4th and runs until the 10th.
All the feature films in official competition have a common theme: Change. For example, coming of age and the transition to adulthood, a changed point of view or a change of social status.
Johannes Nyholm’s Koko-di Koko-da addresses the theme of a battle. Czech director Michal Hogenauer’s A Certain Kind of Silence is about a woman who unintentionally lands in an ultra-conservative sect.
Youth is a theme in several films: The Sharks, by Lucia Garibaldi, explores a relationship between teenagers, while Guerilla, by Hungarian director György Mór Kárpáti, shows the torments of young people confronting the cruelty of the 1848 Hungarian revolution. Finally, in O Fim do Mundo by French-Brazilian Basil Da Cunha, Lisbon is the setting of a young man’s violent education.
