“Two men share not only the same genes, but a common quest…”

Synopsis:
Homer and Joe follow the course of a Croatian river on board a swaying boat, almost against their will, flanked by an unknown dog who has invited himself along on their journey without warning. Very quickly, we realise that the two men are strangers to one another, ignoring the blood tie that binds them to one another. Their father, who one of the two men didn’t know well enough whilst the other perhaps knew him too well, has just died, leaving them an unresolved mystery surrounding the circumstances of his death: was he murdered or did he commit suicide?Read More »

“Fun and Games (for Everyone): a pitch black and milky white film shot during one of Olivier Mosset’s exhibition openings. A psychedelic game of improvisation joins the Zanzibar group with Salvador Dalí, Barbet Schroeder and Jean Mascolo… the solarized image reminiscent of thick strokes of a paintbrush.” – PHILIPPE AZOURYRead More »

Roy Stuart continues his masterpiece series of ‘erotic refinement pushed to the ultimate aesthetic’ with this follow-up to Glimpse 21. American actress and model, Caprice Elise (Ridley Scott’s ‘The Last Duel’) returns in Glimpse 22, and for the first time, illuminates the screen with absolute abandonment! This might be the most explicit in the Glimpse series. Roy Stuart is at the top of his art as he ushers in a new decade with this blazing two hour feature, ever-avoiding the pitfalls and frustrations of predictable mainstream cinema and sad industrial porn. Highly addictive to the mind and then suddenly to the sex, Glimpse 22 is guaranteed to overtake you over and over again. Be warned… Desire is burning in Glimpse 22!Read More »

« For the fun? For the money? Nah, for the pleasure pleasure honey! »

No more industrial porn! No more supermarket of sex!—This new Glimpse does however contain strong explicit scenes even though they have nothing to do with the sad industrial internet porn that relegates the mechanics of sex to crude functionalism.

In 2019 cinema has evolved to the stage where so called “normal” feature films are breaking new ground, enriching the narrative by including explicit scenes, directors such as Gaspar Noé, Lars von Trier, and John Cameron Mitchell, come to mind.
Glimpse is the alternative, The Third Way, here we are in the realm of contemporary art.Read More »

Adolpho Arrietta was a major figure in the new cinemas that appeared in the sixties and seventies in various countries. Thus he became one of the fundamental film directors in the history of Spanish cinema. As with Buñuel, a long exile seems to have been the condition that allowed his work to keep up with the most important trends in the cinema of his era. Throughout the seventies he produced a series of “punk à la française” films, as Severo Sarduy called them, which for their originality and influence are among the most important in French cinema of that decade. In 1989 he returned to Madrid, and despite noteable intervals, which other Spanish film directors of his generation also experienced, his work proceeded. Alone, like in the era of El crimen de la pirindola but with a digital camera, he produced what for the moment is his latest film: Vacanza permanente (2006).Read More »

Thomas Lemercier on Cineuropa wrote:
Pierre is a Parisian in his fourties whose life consists of his morning coffee in a run-down apartment, his phones, his keys, his computer on the train, page 9 of the fourth version of a file, then a demonstration of robotics to some clients, in English. But through the window, are emerging the outlines of a new journey, of a recovery (he does not yet know how radical it will be), of his existence. These outlines are the snow-capped peaks and the glacier where Thomas Salvador sets the scene (and a tent) for his second feature film, The Mountain [+], revealed in the Directors’ Fortnight at the 75th Cannes Film Festival.
