@Mister_ig@FilmFestLocarno Le contraire pour moi… L’année dernière avait donné quelques gros coups de cœurs et beaucoup de bons films, cette année est très maigre. Restent à voir The House on the Moon, O Jacaré et Magic atlas, qui sait! 🤞🏻
@Mister_ig J’ai rien vu d’interrogeant perso. Juste une chronique d’ados des années 2010 avec très peu de cinéma: des effets de caméra hyper basiques, je ne demande comment ça a été sélectionné… Quand on le compare avec Le Bambine de l’année passée, mamma mia…
@DJ_Sapien Solid list!
Here is mine:
1940s Black Narcissus
1950s The Seventh Seal
1960s The Color of Pomegranates
1970s Apocalypse Now

1990s Lost Highway
2000s The Best of Youth
2010s The Tree of Life

Sirât (2025)
Oliver Laxe does not seem to care too much about his scenario and characters. There are some twists and, stretching it, even, maybe, some political messaging, but, this is essentially all about first-degree stimulation: it will reach and wow your eyes and ears.
7/10
@CelestEmpire Ce sera peut-être un excellent film mais déjà plus d’une dizaine sortis sur ce thème depuis le début du millénaire, je commence à saturer… 😅
What Does That Nature Say to You (2025)
This will look very familiar to the regulars of Hong Sang-soo films: a woman introduces her boyfriend to her family, a lot of drinks and casual talks ensue… And yet, there is some truth and sensitivity that feels fresh and genuine.
7/10
Eddington (2025)
The quibbles between a mayor and a sheriff over Covid measures escalate to a violent warfare. After 90min of tedious Covid memorabilia, what becomes a confused thriller is certainly a fair description of US ideological mess but tiring for the casual viewer.
5/10
Together (2025)
The genuine director's excitement to play with its concept and bodies plasticity is fun to watch. But we also always feel ahead of the characters, and there was room for the metaphor to be worked deeper. Still a good body horror flick for Saturday nights.
6/10
Sunlight (2024)
A low-budget, bitter-sweet road movie with two unlikely buddies: one in a monkey suit, the other in suicidal depression. Jokes are actually funny (getting rare) and beyond the zaniness of the situation, there is a real care for the characters' trauma.
7/10
