This performance plunges us into a universe of strange poetry haunted by shadows whose movements play with the silhouette of a dancer in a trance. The black and white aesthetic of shadow play and the light takes us back to the origins of cinema, until the magic of its lanterns. The film is being made, in front of the viewer. The haunting music suspends time. Kami Hitoé is a tensioning of the body and the imagination.
Women who pray together, play together. Very rarely would I describe a story about a group of punk rockers as “whimsical”, but such an engaging array of visual and comedic components make this stand-out new series the star that it is.
'Blonde' commits a relentless assault on the autonomy of Marilyn Monroe, reducing the icon to nothing more than a victim of the director's whims.
Suppressed intergenerational family trauma and healing, warm welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe team, and Awkwafina's humor really make this film the real MVP.
This list was made with the intention of celebrating the craft. I love seeing more women of colour on this list than before and more newcomers on the scene as well!
'Zombieland: Double Tap' was entertaining and fun at times, but not very evolved. It had poorly developed female characters and stereotypical characters of color.
The repeated actions, the blood on the petals, the rustling under the floor…An ambient short horror film takes us into another realm.
