From the same director
Violette
The movie, based on a true story, takes us to mid-20th century France. A dense, important story about the relationship between the two protagonists.
The Midwife
More than anything, 'Sage femme' is a great story about forgiveness and the factors that unite us, no matter how different we are. Directed by Martin Provost, the same director of 'Séraphine' - winner of seven César Awards, including best film -, this is a very pleasant drama comedy thanks to the brilliant performances of its two protagonists: the legendary Catherine Deneuve and Catherine Frot.
How to Be a Good Wife
May of 1968 was a defining month for France, and for social behavior around the world. After all, in the streets and squares of Paris, students and labor movements joined forces to show that society was no longer the same. There were demands, changes, notes. And it is precisely about this period that 'La bonne épouse' speaks, without ever actually showing a parade in Paris. After all, director Martin Provost ('Violette') focuses on the routine of a home economics school just before the fateful month. Without any external influence, the girls and those responsible for this school, brilliantly interpreted by Juliette Binoche, Yolande Moreau and Noémie Lvovsky, begin to undergo transformations. They exchange the dress for the pants, explore their sexualities, feel the freedom coming. It is an interesting exercise by Martin Provost, which shows that May 1968 began to occur naturally in France long before it was seen in the Parisian streets. Too bad there are too many stories, especially among the students, making the movie end strangely. But still, it's a good pick for those who like French comedies with a touch of political and social reflection.
Drama
Manticore
Julian is a successful video game designer tortured by a dark secret. When Diana appears in his life, Julian will begin to see a chance at happiness.
Como el mar
Como el mar is an Argentine film where a young woman, Azul (Zoe Hochbaum), discovers that her supposed older sister (Sofía Gala Castiglione) is actually her biological mother, and the mother who has just died was really her grandmother. Seeking answers about her father, they embark on a journey to Uruguay, where they must transform their bond. This road movie moves at a slow, contemplative pace, focusing more on exploring feelings than events, which may seem too simplistic for those looking for complex dramas. However, it's an emotional film, and the performance of the legendary Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) is definitely worth watching.
My First Film
Many filmmakers spend their lives trying to sustain their creative careers, unaware of their missteps. In My First Film, the debut feature of director Zia Anger (who has created videos for artists like Mitski and Beach House), we see the opposite: a filmmaker who looks back and reconstructs what went wrong in her disastrous first attempt when she was younger. Past and present blend with reality and fiction (featuring artists like Odessa Young), in a film that recreates not just events but emotions. There are many meta and revisionist films, but My First Film is the most fascinating since 2018's Shirkers, at the very least.
Borders of Love
Petr and Hana, who after years together share their unspoken erotic fantasies. What begins as an innocent conversation gradually turns into experimentation with other partners and increasingly pushing the limits of just how far they can go with a non-monogamous relationship before it gets out of hand.
