A film loosely based on the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, with major twists to the original story.
a house not ours//pilgrims
Casa d’altri // Fujenti was conceived as a diptych, two variations on the same religious theme, the paradoxical meaning of prayer and devotion. If, as Sergio Quinzio suggests, prayer is a negative moment marked by God’s constant lack of response, the first part, freely inspired by Silvio D’Arzo’s Casa d’altri, explores this question through a single figure. A wanderer moves among saints, churches and books, posing a scandalous question to theology. The second part shifts the same question from the individual to the multitude. Through archival materials connected to rites, processions and popular pilgrimages, the film observes bodies that pray, walk, wait, and offer fatigue, voice, tears and presence. Following Quinzio’s intuition, the praying figures do not appear as pacified images of devotion, but as needy creatures, beggars before the invisible, bodies asking for the fulfilment of a concrete lack.

The Marked Woman: Yet Another Grizzled Detective Movie
Netflix’s new mystery thriller, The Marked Woman (released originally as La Desconocida), is confusing. More critically, though, it commits the worst mistake a movie can make: it’s boring. From Spanish director Gabe Ibáñez, the film squanders its premise at every turn, fills the story with unlikeable characters, and lacks emotional payoff.
