Byly dějiny tvořeny… těmito chlapíky? Zed (Jack Black) a Oh (Michael Cera) vyvrávorali ze svého jeskynního obydlí a vydali se na impozantní cestu biblických rozměrů. Jeden je nemotorný lovec, druhý mírumilovný sběrač a společně se stávají nezvyklými účastníky klíčových momentů historie. Při svém putování se setkávají s Kainem a Ábelem, odradí Abrahama od obětování syna Izáka, upadnou do otroctví, dostanou se až do města Sodoma a rozhodnou se, že zachrání milované ženy Mayu a Eemu… Film režiséra a scenáristy, legendy komediálního žánru Harolda Ramise (Na Hromnice o den více, Caddyshack, Přeber si to) je hrubozrnný, bláznivě absurdní, rozkošně netaktní a taky neskutečně vtipný!

Film Otec na služební cestě je vyprávěním očima malého chlapce o složité situaci a tíživé atmosféře počátku padesátých let, kdy docházelo k řadě závažných přehmatů, které vytvářely složité politické a společenské klima. Nehledě na tragičnost dějinných událostí prožívá hlavní hrdina Malik své dětství, které je víceméně šťastné, i když jeho matka po nocích pláče a jen sotva může uživit rodinu, protože otec odjel nechtěně na „služební cestu“.

Snímek Nicka Broomfielda líčí tragédii z listopadu 2005 ve městě Haditha, kde Iráčané spáchali atentát na příslušníka US Navy. Americké síly NATO v odvetné akci postříleli čtyřicet mužů, žen i dětí z okolí. Film nelíčí účastníky iráckého odboje pouze jako teroristy, ale také jako otce od rodin, přátele či patrioty, kteří se nechali využít krvavou rétorikou islámských extremistů. Příslušníky vojsk představuje jako obyčejné kluky, kteří nezvládají svou roli, strach ani stres. Uniformovaní chlapci se prohánějí ulicemi města za zvuků tvrdé muziky a ochutnávají adrenalin hry na vojáčky, jež se v okamžiku krize promění v tragickou realitu.

Hrdinou snímku je sedmnáctiletý citlivý mladík Edoardo, který má, jak už název napovídá, problém s fimózou (zúžením předkožky). Tato skutečnost ho výrazně limituje v sexuálních dobrodružstvích, která ho momentálně zajímají zdaleka nejvíc. Režisérův inteligentní mix humoru a dramatu těží z civilního, realistického scénáře a znamenitě vystihuje mužskou zranitelnost. Short Skin nabízí vylehčenou prázdninovou zábavu, ale zároveň nás učí cosi podstatného o odvaze, improvizaci a překonávání vlastní nejistoty.

Ukwaluka is an ancient circumcision ritual for young men still widely practiced by the Xhosa in South Africa. It marks the transition from youth to manhood. A boy who has just undergone circumcision sits in semi-darkness in a simple hut on a hill, far away from the village, as prescribed by the initiation ritual. He is covered from head to toe with a paint made from clay which makes him look as white as a goat. This should be a period of healing, but he is cold and in pain. His grandfather, who is supposed to induct him into his new life, has not yet appeared. According to the belief system of the Xhosa, Ukwaluka also purges the boy from homosexual desires, for which there is no place in the world of adults.
