After the Riga film festival: two European-made films to see in cinemas

The 13th Riga International Film Festival (Riga IFF) has just ended, but the supply of films in cinemas continues. This week, a review by LSM Culture, the culture section of Latvia's public broadcaster, focuses on two films made in Europe, one of which involved Latvian film professionals.

The year has reached the period known in the film industry as "awards season". During it, studios, especially American ones, release films to attract the attention of the press and audiences. As a result, cinema programmes tend to include many new titles at this time.

The headline of the review points to the themes of the two films: one story features missing parents, while the other involves horror inside a family nest. Further details about the titles, directors and plots are given in the full review on the LSM website.

The author stresses that, from the wide selection available, he or she chose these European works, one of which was made with the participation of Latvian film industry specialists.
