Sometimes, the camera is as powerful as a gun, and the two films in this set vibrate with radical zeal. A biting satire on class and politics, Brigands: Chapter VII (Otar Iosseliani, France/Georgia, 1996, 129 mins.) jumps through time to transport a wealthy king, who has been cuckolded by his wife, to the Depression and then to modern-day Paris, where the rich are…well, still rich. In Chico (Ibolya Fekete, Germany/Hungary/Croatia/Chile, 2001, 112 mins.), a globe-trotting journalist-turned-freedom fighter named Chico takes up arms during the break-up of Yugoslavia. Escaping from Pinochet's Chile, he fights his way through Hungary, Russia, Albania, Israel, and Croatia, until he ends up in the bloody Balkan War during the 1990s. In Georgian, French, Hungarian, Spanish, Croatian, Italian, and English with English subtitles.
Otar Iosseliani/Ibolya Fekete---France/Georgia/Germany/Hungary/Croatia/Chile---1996/2001---241 mins.
