Nightmare Alley 2021
I could have stayed with just the first hour and without Cate Blanchett's femme fatale.

The Salt of Tears 2020
Waiting for a climax, for something that lasts and gives meaning to the story, to life. Without taking any risk. Focused on the satisfaction of personal desires, of ephemeral longings that vanish as soon as they show the remote possibility of becoming palpable entities. Always irrelevant. Always replaceable. Garrel makes a portrait of the emptiness suffered by a generation that has inherited a great series of deserted promises, of uninhabited shells, of lost contents. Far from the idea of God, from the old-fashioned need to imagine a somehow transcendent destiny, life is stripped of any meaning ever acquired, seeing characters come and go.

A World Without Women 2011
Brac has an exceptional ability to say a lot with very little. This film is no exception. Despite having a simple and light plot that resembles the work of Eric Rhomer, each character involved carries a particular and complex struggle that is easy to empathize with. From the superficiality of yet another holiday romance, Brac accurately portrays the boundaries and interactions between rural and urban idiosyncrasies, youth and maturity, as well as gender-related quests and fears.

Treasure Island 2018
You don't need an ambitious project to portray social complexity; places speak for themselves. Brac subtly delineates the worldview of the Parisian middle class with a camera that at times feels invisible, almost natural, making one feel like just another visitor to the summer park.
