Moving Pictures from Locarno: Land of Fraternity
Guests from the east come to Portugal, wanting to serve the aftermath of the Carnation Revolution, which first shook the foundations of the fascist dictatorship of Marcel Caetan, to effectively overthrow it later. We have 1975, a full year after the Revolution, which began to bring harvest.
Moving Pictures from Locarno: Everything for the Dialogue
Wilcox is a puff piece for today’s hermit for whom the mystical experience is the conscious abandonment of the capitalist world of people and gods in favor of the world of the beast, which is increasingly threatened by human greed.
Moving Pictures from Locarno: Island of Ghosts
The autothematic thread (the act of filming) smoothly passes into the documentary, creators collaborating with the local community, and the story of the beginnings of homo sapiens mixes with the experience of modern tourism – both local (the girl following the trail of her parents’ love) and postcolonial (the couple tourists from the United States who can only get along in their own language).
NH19: Silence of Flightless Birds
I hold to the principle that if I start watching a movie, I watch it to the end, so I feel a certain obligation to explain why I actually left Bird Talk.
NH19: Lunar Dream
30-year-old director is balancing on the edge of reality very well. He can hypnotize the viewer, strengthen the projection-identification (3D works very strongly here), the viewer’s bond with the hero and the impression of intermingling worlds.
NH19: Balkan holidays
We can rarely find a director who not only creates a good film, but is also able to clearly present his or her intellectual foundation, which, moreover, is noticeable on the screen. This is what the young artist Eni Sendijarević managed to do in Take Me Somewhere Nice.
NH19: Ashes will Remain
Olivier Laxe’s Fire Will Come proves that neomodernist cinema does not necessarily have to be lengthy. The latest film by the creator of warmly received Mimosas (NH16) is a showcase of neomodernism.
NH19: People with a Movie Cameras
hu, having done a great selection work, shows cut fragments of streams, suggesting that perhaps these platforms gave the tenth muse a truly democratic value.
NH19: The Gaze of Eurydice
But Portrait of a Lady on Fire is not only a moving, feminine melodrama. It is a film created by a woman, in which women were responsible for the script, photos and editing, and only women appear on the screen, except for short anonymous moments at the beginning and end of the film.
NH19: Blood and Cacti
The images that Diaz feeds us still hypnotize and incline to contemplation and spiritual experience of the film, realizing the creator’s assumption: “total cinema experience”.
