My 4 weekly recommandations!
Nanette, Hannah Gadsby
An extraordinary performance and an electrifying stand-up on our times, education and the possibility of fulfilling oneself as a marginalised person.
A must-see.
On Netflix now.
La sociedad de la nieve, J.A. Bayona
In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, carrying a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the Andes. The 29 survivors, trapped in one of the most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, must take extreme measures to ensure their survival.
A powerful film, very well acted, about the inhuman conditions suffered by the victims of this accident and their survival, which will test their humanity.
A very good film to watch on Netflix from the director of The Impossible.
The Brothers Sun, Brad Falchuk et Byron Wu with Michelle Yeoh (Eileen ‘Mama’ Sun) ; Justin Chien (Charles Sun) ; Sam Song Li (Bruce Sun)
A Taipei gangster, Charles Sun, learns that his father has been shot dead by a mysterious assassin. He travels to Los Angeles to protect his mother and his younger brother Bruce, who until now has never known the truth about his family.
It’s a funny series about a mother’s love for her sons and her struggle to exist, with an atmosphere that’s part old-school karate film and part telenovela at its funniest and most moving moments. With a great cast!
On Netflix now.
Io Capitano de Matteo Garrone, still in theaters.
Seydou and Moussa, two 16-year-old Senegalese boys, decide to leave their homeland for Europe. Along the way, however, their dreams and hopes of a better life are quickly dashed by the dangers of the journey.
As usual, Matteo Garrone excels. He is the first director to have succeeded in making a credible film about the tragic fate of migrants by drawing inspiration from and working with those who have been lucky enough to escape.
Essential for understanding our times. Director’s Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
