Kana (Yuumi Kawai), 21-years-old, works as an assistant at a beauty salon. Thinking about the future is too tedious for her and she doesn’t even know what she wants in life. She has no passion for books, movies, music, never thought of going to college, and doesn’t even have a passport. The only thing she’s into is ”love,” feeling that it fills her emptiness. Noted Gen Z director Yoko Yamanaka’s second feature is a slice-of-life portrait of an aimless young woman who leaves the passionless security of her longtime boyfriend for the initial excitement of another man she meets casually on a night-out with a friend. Part coming-of-age tale, part exploration of generational malaise and mental health in post-pandemic Japan, DESERT OF NAMIBIA is a stunning portrait of a young woman on the verge, with Kawai’s stunningly understated and magnetic performance at its center.Read More »

Two women from very different worlds bond over an unlikely connection — both of them have a husband serving time in the same prison — in Visiting Hours, a study of class and economic disparity that avoids certain narrative familiarities while succumbing to others. Veteran French director Patricia Mazuy reunites with her The Kings Daughters (2000) star Isabelle Huppert, who plays a bourgeois wife who takes an interest in Hafsia Herzi’s working-class dry-cleaner, although the reason for her fascination is, intriguingly, never explicitly laid out. The two characters become friends, although both women’s ulterior motives give this uneven but compelling film its tense energy.Read More »
