A man gets stuck in a hole. How will he get out? This takes a dumb idea and turns it into a suitably taught little thriller. Quite fun.
Ooh this was bleak.
I think I had too high expectations of this one (Palme d’or!). It’s a well paced courtroom drama with fabulous acting. I came out of it feeling disappointed that I wasn’t blown away by it - but perhaps that’s ok: this is back to basics excellent filmmaking.
A fabulous personal voyage through Iranian cinephilia. Merging video diaries, archive footage and snippets of classic cinema this tells a beautiful tale of cinema as memory, resistance and community
Oh this felt like a short that had been stretched out to feature length. Some very neat ideas and lovely moments but it felt like it needed a little more. The visual effects and the lead actor are fab.
