Une belle claque ce soir avec la fable politique "avant l'effondrement" écrit par la romancière metteuse en scène @AliceZeniter et Benoît Volnais et porté notamment par @Nielsschneider2 et
Juste Wahou
Ça mériterait que le film soit projeté dans plus de cinéma à Lyon

Attenberg, along with Yorgos Lanthimos' Dogtooth, became the faces of the new Greek cinema in the late 2000s. And there are a lot of similarities between the two - generational divide, patriarchy, Lanthimos (who plays Marina's first lover), being metaphors for a country thrown into a new, globalized world in which she is not quite ready or comfortable. Sir David Attenborough, whose nature documentary program is what Marina grew up on, is her only constant companion. It's Attenborough's communing with the nature and animals, his compassion that is a contrast to Marina's banal surroundings - a mining factory with no prospects for young people. Communication done through series of choreographed dance/movements/freakouts or constant word play. Tsangari has a gentler touch and is much less cynical. Attenberg features one of the sweetest depiction of father-daughter relationship than any other films I can think of.

Malgre la nuit has a lurid noir plot. And it’s perhaps the most narrative heavy film to date. But the imagery he presents here is still tour-de-force. The bodies, the alienness of pale human skins against its dark backdrop - in the woods, unlit bedrooms & basements... make strong visual impact & brings out visceral, emotional reaction. Grandrieux makes a good use of his two skinny actors - often completely naked, with their fawn-like sad faces, they go through raw emotions of being in some kind of mythic tragedy. David Lynch and Grandrieux are kindred spirits in more ways than one - their love of texture, fatalistic love, the dark side of human desires etc. But watching this, I feel their differences are more pronounced - Lynch loves puzzles & working in his inner logic, Grandrieux is only interested in images. And these are not criticism at all for either one of the artists. Just an observation. But seriously, narrative is for wimps.

Fidelio touches upon the life at sea theme - loneliness, alienation but also, freedom. It also provides plenty of cinematic moments. Without getting too deep into character's backstory, it paints the picture of a woman who is finding out what she wants in life head-on. I loved the physicality of the film both in characters & its surroundings.
