  • Roy Stuart – Glimpse 10 (2009)

    2001-2010ArthouseEroticaFranceRoy Stuart

    Quote:
    It’s been a long cold winter but Roy Stuart is here to heat things up with his new Glimpse10, the longest and most musical of the series. There is a certain pleasure to find oneself on familiar ground. Anna Bielska starts the show and we’re off for two and a half hours of warm reunion where the spectator never feels like a passive voyeur. In fact, the whole Stuart, approach involves participation–big difference from the makers of commercial porno. Truffaut acted in his films, but rather poorly, Stuart as well, but rather well! Often mischievously leading the activities with kung fu action as well as sex action in several sequences where the camera and lighting equipment are often haphazardly included in the scene.Read More »

He is busy trying to save the camp from a deadly piece of NASA’s Skylab which is hurtling toward earth. All that, plus: a dangerous waterfall rescue, love triangles, misfits, cool kids, and talking vegetable cans.

  • Paula Gaitán – Diário de Sintra AKA Days in Sintra (2008)

    2001-2010BrazilDocumentaryPaula Gaitán

    How are the traveler and the exile different? How shall we think of memories created in exile? This are the axis upon which Days in Sintra rotates. The film is a poetic account of the exile of Glauber Rocha in Sintra, Portugal, in which photographs serve as a mnemonic guide to the search for traces of the filmmaker’s passage through the city. Gaitán’s film about her longtime partner Rocha is built on the border of a fragmented, involuntary, unfinished, and precarious memory.Read More »

  • Mikhaël Hers – Primrose Hill (2007)

    2001-2010ArthouseDramaFranceMikhaël Hers

    Quote:

    It’s an album-length drama of friendship and disappearance, youth and responsibility, backed by a soundtrack of overlooked indie-rock classics and Hers’ subtle and flowing direction.

    As Primrose Hill begins, four friends finish band practice and head off on a long walk. They’re enjoying their too infrequent reunion, the beginning of fall, and the memories that come to mind as they wander. But they’re also all marked by an absence, the fifth friend who went missing a few months before, and whose voice we hear on the soundtrack, describing a dream that’s eerily similar to the images we see.Read More »
