...with silly cartoon characters in a story that takes place during the Polish resistance against the Nazis. Jurcan & Cvek's "Condemned Ideas" examines the failure of ideologies from Fascism to Communism to Capitalism. But the most unifying trait turns out to be a kind of dark, absurdist sensibility. In Goran Feniks' "A Weird Story," a man takes care of some paperwork while plummeting to his death from an airplane explosion. There's ample amounts of satire and schadenfruede, but little humor of the joyful, delightful kind...
...DEEP END It's a great twist--a woman (Tilda Swinton, right) and her blackmailer (Goran Visnjic) fall in love. She's trying to protect her son from extortion, but she can't protect herself from the soulful, vulnerable man who wants her cash. The result, co-directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel, is an elegant, romantically doomy movie that rises well above its precipitating gimmick...
...soon see that they are not hypocrites, but merely people trying to live by unattainable ideals and failing to account for their own humanity: Anna has become a lesbian for political reasons and her ex-husband Lasse (Ola Norell) cannot accept it, no matter what he believes.

Goran Ivanisevic, who won Wimbledon with a thrilling five-setter, was ranked 125th, but who wants to memorize 125 names? Names like Gustavo Kuerten...
Finally, a nifty twist: a blackmailer (Goran Visnjic, the hottie from ER) falls in love with his victim (Tilda Swinton). Actually, the idea is so old it's new: this is a remake of Max Ophuls' The Reckless Moment (1949). She's trying to protect her son from a predatory lover who is accidentally killed; he's an agent of evil too soulful for his own good. Their gripping story is told with sober conviction in this elegantly made, romantically doomy, curiously affecting movie...
