AFI FEST 2013 Movie Review: ‘When Evening Falls On Bucharest Or Metabolism’

November 21, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

Chistian Porumboiu ups the formal rigour of his last, Police, Adjective (2009), with When Evening Falls On Bucharest Or Metabolism; a film composed of 17 shots, most capturing conversations for a full reel’s 11 minutes, and filmed with an almost entirely static camera.

AFI FEST 2013 Movie Review: The Frigid And Soulless ‘Exhibition’

November 21, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

A title at the end reveals that Joanna Hogg’s third feature, Exhibition, is dedicated to the recently-late architect James Melvin, which should come as no surprise since the film is as much a portrait of the sleek, modernist Kensington townhouse in which it is almost exclusively set, as of the mildly dysfunctional marriage that resides […]

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 […]
