Short Film Review: “Michael Solace” Contemplates Selling Out and Selling His Soul
The film blends reality and the supernatural world together, leaving the viewer unsure of what’s real and what’s merely a figment of Michael’s agitated imagination.
La Napoli di mio padre
Giuseppe looked at the horizon as one observes a desire, as something to be reached in order to try to be free. Since childhood, his daughter Alessia, the director, often saw him looking out the window, wondering what was able to attract his attention in such an intense way. Several years later, during a return trip to Naples, her father's hometown, Alessia finds herself observing her father again. Also this time Giuseppe is always in profile and, while the landscape flows framed in the window of a train, his gaze tries to capture every moment, to stop those moments and save them from the fast passage of time.

The Invitation (2015): Grief is on The Menu

All Eyes are on 'KIMI'.
KIMI is the main character of this film and as much as I wish it was Angela Childs played by Zoe Kravitz, it isn't.
