Êxtase (2020)
Outstanding film.
Truly visionary filmmaking from director Moara Passoni. Poetically written and gorgeously rendered. Hit with powerful, nuanced emotion. I cannot wait to see what she does next.
Midnight Family (2019)
Important and beautifully crafted film
A mesmerizing and important documentary on a family's struggle and the broken health care system that ensnares their lives. Complicated and narratively complex, this film has stayed with me. Beautifully photographed and edited, as well.
The Seer and the Unseen (2019)
a must-see unexpected doc for those in search of magic
Saw this film at SFIFF 2019 and it has stuck with me since. A truly unusual premise, the film uses a poignant and allegorical approach to exploring often alarmist or cliched environmental stories and a clever twist regarding the marketplace that devastated Iceland last decade. But the best part is the memorable and compelling subject: Raga, a grandmother who see and speaks with Icelands elves. Whether you believe in what she believes or not, is kind of besides the point. She's charming, grounded and wise and her story stands not just for the Icelandic environmental context, but for wider, more universal struggles. And my god, is Iceland gorgeous! I think this is a must-see for those in search of magic :)
