  • Mustang

    Mustang

    ★★★½

    Kind of like a Turkish Virgin Suicides, and just as dire as a prison break.

    The revolution really will be female.

  • Carnival of Souls

    Carnival of Souls

    ★★★★

    Follows the “woman in trouble” tagline that could also describe so many David Lynch movies. An eerie and uncanny series of events, sending a courageous Alice/Dorothy-esque character down a doomed rabbit hole of phantoms and paranoia.

  • Embrace of the Serpent

    Embrace of the Serpent

    ★★★½

    Leans a bit heavily on the crutch of narrative convention, but still manages an effective parable of cultures in conflict and the painfully predictable patterns of human nature. An anthropological river odyssey that lands somewhere between Apocalypto, Fitzcarraldo, and Faya Dayi.
