"Le Bonheur" and the Feminism of Varda
Effortlessly beautiful and surprisingly tragic.

Faris is recruited into the Central Security Forces, and his fiancée Lawahez feels sad about his separation. In the camp, he meets Salah and Abu Saree, who come from distant villages, and a friendship develops between them. Abu Saree's mother comes with her daughter to visit him. His sister goes out to bring some necessities, but loses her way and falls into the clutches of Hamida, the leader of a gang, who seizes her jewelry. The three heroes, with the help of Lawahez, try to recover the jewelry and bring back Abu Saree's missing sister.

Cartoon Saloon is an animation studio that should be appreciated more. They tell unique stories with unique animation, proving that 2D animation is still alive and well.
If you've watched 'Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles', you are either someone who believes “nothing happens” in this three and half-hour film or you’re like me who believes everything happens.
The trainwreck is hot but tame.
Everyone needs a BFF and a "wing person" like Yumi (Chloris Li). Li brings the "straight person" persona, literally and figuratively balancing James Aaron Oh's perfectly timed comedic delivery as the unlucky-in-love.
'Bodies Bodies Bodies', the latest from indie powerhouse studio A24, is a great time. Full of dark comedy laughs, great performances, and genuine scares, it's a perfect addition to modern slasher classics.
