Day 4 of ND/NF screenings.
TO KILL A MAN (Alejandro Fernándo Almendras 2013)
This cool observational crime story from Chile has some things in common with the work of fellow countryman Pablo Larraín -- the creepiness and moral ambiguity. But Larraín's vivid characters and pungent mise-en-scene are absent. Almendras prefers drabness, and this ordinary murderer with his drawn out clumsy mop-up is painful to watch.
A SPELL TO WARD OFF THE DARKNESS(Ben Rivers, Ben Russell 2013)
An experimental, art film by two hitherto unconnected artists in three parts, joined only by having one person in all three. Not for most film fans.
STOP THE POUNDING HEART (Robert Minervini 2013)
Is this a docudrama or Christian propaganda? It debuted at Cannes, but the Christian market is its niche. Intimate scenes, nice visuals, but many unanswered questions.
Buzzard (Joel Potrykus 2013)
A slacker scam artist flees from Grand Rapids to Detroit -- madcap, macabre humor by a smooth director-actor team.
