Czech film “You Kiss Like a God” and Danish film “A Hijacking” will be showcased today as part of the seven-day long “European Film Festival” which began yesterday at the Star Cineplex of Basundhara City shopping mall.
“You Kiss Like a God,” a 2009 Czech comedy film directed by Marie Polednakova, is centered on Helena Altmanova, a likable high school French and literature teacher, whose healthy and light-hearted attitude has gained her popularity among teachers and students alike. However, her personal life has big surprises in store for her. The film will be screened at 12pm, 3:50pm and 7:45pm.
Another film, “A Hijacking,” is a 2012 Danish thriller, written and directed by Tobias Lindholm. It is about the hijacking of a ship. The plot alternates between the events on board the hijacked ship, and those occurring in the shipping company’s office back in Denmark. It focuses largely on the experiences of the ship’s cook and the shipping company’s CEO, acting as the negotiator. The film will be shown at 2pm and 5:55pm.
This is the second time the festival is taking place in Bangladesh and the European Union along with Star Cineplex have organised the event that features a total of 12 movies from 12 countries of the EU.
