Latvian Radio Critics Discuss Kristians Riekstins' Debut Film and Brad Pitt Thriller

On the Latvian Radio programme "Kur kritiķiem", film reviewers Dārta Ceriņa and Žulijens Nuhums Kulibali discuss two new releases: the feature-length debut of Latvian director Kristiāns Riekstiņš, "Visiem vajag naudu" (Everyone Needs Money), and the survival thriller "Skarbās zemes sirdī" (In the Heart of a Harsh Land, as titled in Latvian). The conversation is aimed at cinema-goers who want to know how to approach these films and what to expect.

A heist film from a Latvian director

"Visiem vajag naudu" is Riekstiņš' first full-length film. It is a heist movie whose plot twists and turns between bowling pins and unbreakable safes.

A survival thriller with Brad Pitt

The thriller "Skarbās zemes sirdī" centres on the on-screen chemistry between American actor Brad Pitt and a striking four-legged performer, a dog. This pairing is one of the film's distinguishing features.

What the programme covers

The critics explain how to watch both films and weigh what works in them and what does not. The programme is produced by Latvian Radio, and LSM Culture also reports on its topics.
