The freshness of truth

In an era of saturated billboards with remakes, anecdotally nostalgic films, and worn-out sequels, appealing to alternative circuits may be the way to find a breath of fresh air amidst so much repetition. Moreover, exploring cinema from less familiar regions can offer an enriching experience both in terms of entertainment and understanding of the world, exposing audiences to new narratives and perspectives that might otherwise be overlooked. Personally, I think that La piel en primavera (Skin in

Black Tea: One-third of the audience left.

The movie "Black tea" screened at the Berlin International Film Festival the other day got slammed with overwhelmingly negative reviews, resulting in a record number of walkouts. I caught one screening, and in it almost a third of the audience bailed. Directed by big-shot filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako, known for his sharp reveals of residential life in third world countries and his previous work "Timbuktu," which got an Oscar nod for Best Foreign Language Film, this time around, though, he real

Dahomey: Why Is This 67-minute Documentary Worth a Golden Bear

This year’s Golden Bear was awarded to 41-year-old French-Senegalese female director Mati Diop for her second feature Dahomey, which was astonishing for many people since it’s only a 67-minute documentary, narrating how 26 pieces of royal treasures were returned to Benin by the French government. But remember, that last year the Golden Bear was also awarded to a French director Nicolas Philibert for his documentary On the Adamant, and that how amazing Mati Diop’s debut feature, Atlantics is, whi

The Most Uninspiring Berlin Film Festival in Recent Years

It is about midway through the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, and it seems like the quality of works showcased this time round are the most uninteresting compared to the Festivals’ previous offerings. “Screen” has placed only 1 film over the score of 3, namely “My Favourite Cake” by Maryam Moqadam and Behtash Sanaeeha. Furthermore, such a score owes several external factors that came into play: both directors were banned from leaving their home country and were only able to attend the

The Director and the Madman:On Martin Scorsese

The best things we have come from madness, when it is given as a gift of the god. —Plato, Phaedrus Martin Scorsese is the greatest director alive. Every film scholar knows that. And everyone knows that his films are about violence, criminals, gangsters. At least, that’s the stereotype—and, really, it’s not far wrong. Yes, there are a few exceptions: The Age of Innocence (1993) stands out, and so does Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974). But the paradigm cases are about violence, typically gan
