short round-up of mainstream + less worthy cairo film fest movies that don’t warrant full posts.
gomorra. up there with the best mafia movies. detached, unsentimental, jarring, non-narrative based (always a hit with me), dark, gripping movie.
into the wild. pure americana. celebrating the individual. the outsider. the tortured hero. the anti-modern luddite. the kindred spirit. the beautiful. didn’t feel the eddie vedder soundtrack. sean penn has matured into a real artist.
in the flesh. terrible italian horror! one of the few movies that i have walked out of in my life. i misread the schedule and was aiming to watch ahmed rachwan’s egyptian indie basra.
the case. another female directed filmblog media production – the first of the yunnan new film project series. strange in a good way chinese twisted black comedy. well made, fun but ultimately easily missable. score was tacky. wang fei (director) worth watching though, this was her debut.
