Fiume o Morte! review – darkly comic reconstruction of D’Annunzio’s Yugoslavian coup Igor Bezinović uses local residents of what is now Rijeka in Croatia to re-stage the vainglorious Italian protofascist’s ragtag takeover of the Adriatic port city

My review of Fiume O Morte! (dir. Igor Bezinović) is up here: www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...

Finally, quick shoutout to a few excellent films that didn’t make the International Feature shortlist, but that you shouldn’t miss:

The Love That Remains
Magellan
Peacock
Little Trouble Girls
My Father’s Shadow
A Poet
Fiume o morte!
Sanatorium
Reedland
The Tale of Silyan
Under the Flags, the Sun

Stay tuned! We have screenings in the works... announcements coming in the new year!

I LOVE FIUME O MORTE!!!

Irritating that the shortlists for Documentary and International Feature omit one of the best films in both categories, Fiume o Morte!, the Croatian entry. At least it will get a release, from @icarusfilms.bsky.social but it deserved the boost; much better than many that were chosen.

My new Blu-ray slipcover art for Marc Allégret’s LADY CHATTERLEY’S LOVER (1955), the first screen adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s controversial novel 🖤. It was banned in NY for "promoting adultery," until the Supreme Court overturned the ruling in 1959. @icarusfilms.bsky.social @vinsyn.bsky.social
