    • Film Reviews

This a a review/analysis of "The Painted Bird" a mixed genre film--melodramatic psychological realism.  Based on the book of the same name by Jersy Kosinski.  A brutal film adaptation of a equally brutal book, directed brilliantly by Vaclav Marhoul with frightening real characterization and stunning black and white cinematography by Vladimir Smutny.
