Agnès Varda’s Most Personal And Emotional Film, ‘Documenteur’

November 16, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

Agnès Varda has cited Documenteur as her favourite of her own films, presumably because even more than The Beaches of Agnes (2008), it is her most personal and most emotional. She was apart from her husband Demy on her second trip to Los Angeles, at the start of the ‘80s, to develop a script (turned […]

AFI FEST 2013 Movie Review: A Perfectly Enjoyable, Meaningless Good Time With ‘Tom At The Farm’

November 15, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

Wunderkind Xavier Dolan never seems to make it to the AFI festival because he’s always off shooting his next movie (four movies by the age of 24 and Cannes prizes galore). He was in production on this one when last year’s Laurence Anyways screened, a continuation and expansion of the high-pitched emotional drama of his […]

AFI FEST 2013 Movie Review: The Extravagant Claims Of ‘R100’

November 15, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

AFI FEST 2013 Movie Review: The Cinematic-Romantic In ‘Vic + Flo Saw A Bear’

November 15, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

Vic + Flo Saw A Bear is something like an expansion on Denis Côté’s last, the strictly observational non-documentary Bestiaire (2012), although that in turn was a distillation of his favoured practice of looking at slightly odd characters shut away from the world. In Curling (2010) and Carcasses (2009), for example, it was by their […]

AFI FEST 2013 Movie Review: Cannes Un Certain Regard Winner ‘L’Inconnu Du Lac’

November 15, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

It’s understandable that Alain Guiraudie won the best director of Un certain regard at Cannes this year, since for the most part L’inconnu du lac (Stranger by the Lake) is a very tight piece of work, effectively exploring the time and place of a single location and milieu, charting the uncertainties that blossom as a […]
