Nuestro Tiempo
- the main character comes across as controlling (the film's intention)
- film is long, but with imageries from the ranch there is enough space to not be annoyed
- the bull/mule fight is visceral. well-captured
- didn't finish watching because the image disappeared around 2h20min. Perhaps it was intentional - if so it was not well-justified
Your Face Recommend
- surprisingly moving with genuine images of old skin
- punctuated by seemingly mundane stories from working class people
- a lot of unease from some of the cast, who are not professional actors
- last scene tests patience
The Day I Lost My Shadow
- promising metaphor and opening scenes
- sadly, metaphor ("shadow") is more symbolic than effectual
- story has just enough gaps to be confusing (one main character seems to appear and die out of nowhere)
- war causes neurosis, yes, but simply displaying it alienates the audience
- hand-held shots = dizziness (perhaps a bit overused)
