George Sprott. Seth. 2009. A citizen Kane like structure about the life of a tv show host. Through reminiscences, landscapes and architecture.

The Bread Factory. Parts 1 and 2. Patrick Wang. 2018.
In which a local arts programme run by the aging lesbian couple faces extinction because of the Chinese conceptual artists who move in next door to hog the arts funding. Extraordinarily beautiful.

Once upon a time in Hollywood. Quentin Tarantino. 2019.
Alt-history as homage. Loving. Gentle. Surprisingly so. Long languorous sequences of life playing itself out interspersed with references too obscure for most of us.

The Cove. Louie Psihoyos. 2009.

Concerned white people go undercover like Hollywood with infra-red cameras, skin tight diving suits and American accents, to fight evil Japanese fishermen and government in order save cute dolphins from capture and slaughter- after all we saw them save people on television shows.

Aagantuk. The stranger. Satyajit Ray. 1991.
In his final film Ray gets the upper caste intellectual to out-intellectualise the Bengali bhadralok by becoming the medium through which the idealised purity of the barbaric primitive serves to redeem them from their suspicion and conservatism. At the end the Santhals wearing matching clothes and tribal-dancing in formation like they did on Doordarshan perform exclusively for the middle class family that watches along with us.

Atlantics. Mati Diop. 2019. When the developer of a monstrous tower in Dakar does not pay the workers for their labour, they leave for Spain across the sea only to drown in a wave. They return to haunt the women they leave behind. Beautiful. Recommended watching on Netflix.

Ad Astra. James Gray. 2019. The emptiness of space is a reliable metaphor for the psychological daddy issues that keep the astronaut from falling in love. Since in every American film it must be heterosexual romantic love that can signify the return to the norm for the hero.

Human Flow. Ai Weiwei. 2017.

Refugee, Migrant are all rolled in one, as are Mexico, Afghanistan, Iraq; along with Greece, France, Germany. (An)aestheticised drone shots, aerial views, barbed wire, staring faces, talking heads, walls, wiki-like bullet point politics interspersed with pseudo-profound poetic texts on screen… until all stories become background for the performance art of the so-sensitive artiste.. he cares so much.

Diamintino. Gabriel Abrantes, Daniel Schmidt. 2018. Unbelievably naive football star who sees fluffy puppy dogs is being cloned for his talent, an unfortunate side effect of which is that he is growing breasts. Meanwhile, he is being duped by both his evil sisters who bully him into submission; and his adopted refugee son who is in reality a lesbian undercover agent with whom (s)he lives happily ever after. #
