Vortex 2021
<<A tous ceux dont le cervau se decomposera avant le coeur>>.
An intimate, heartbreaking insight on the path towards death. The story begins at the end: an old couple, one with dementia and the other with heart problems, keeping each other company in their last years. The movie is quiet and beautiful, the photography is simple and aesthetic. Noé very realistically depicts the solitude of old age and the crudeness of knowing that dementia is but a downhill road and that the best has passed.

Tom at the Farm 2013
a well-shot, tense, psychological thriller. there is something off from the very beginning, and the tension in the movie just keeps building up without really getting to a breaking point. the characters are complex and twisted, bordering psycho, and the stark rural setting -the dead calf, the cutting corn fields- all add to the dark atmosphere. Xavier Dolan creates a setting that is bleak yet asphyxiating, a rural horror story in a Schweblin-like manner

La Haine 1995
<< mais l’important c’est pas la chute, c’est l’aterrisage >>.
brutal, violent, raw. La haine portrays life in the margins, following three outcasts in the aftermath of a confrontation with the police that left one of their friends in a comma. the frames are in black and white but the imagery is powerful and dark. anger seeps from the characters, discriminated for their class and their race, trying to fight a system that has always turned its back on them. the themes -police brutality, drugs, marginalized youth- are as relevant now as they were back in 1995
