    Quote:
    Themroc is a very unusual 1973 French film by director Claude Faraldo. Made on a very low budget with no intelligible dialog, Themroc tells the story of a French blue collar worker who rebels against modern society, reverting into an urban caveman.

    The Themroc history is about a typical middle-aged French worker who rebels against the absurdity of everyday life. He shares an apartment with his ​​mother and sister, every day goes to boring and non-profit work. But one day, all of a sudden, in complete frustration, he destroys all his property, demolishes the walls of his apartment, it literally turns into a cave and starts to act like a Neanderthal. His rebellion, his anti-social activities are amazingly attractive to the neighbors, and they soon begin to do the same. Police trying to find a way to contain his behavior.Read More »

    While many filmmakers (the majority) remained immobile during home confinement, the members of the El Pampero collective did not stop filming… Alejo Moguillansky filmed with his partner, the actress Luciana Acuña, The Middle Ages, while Agustín Mendilaharzu did the same with Constanza Feldman in Clementina…

    Clementina is Feldman’s alter-ego, who in the middle of the pandemic settles — in principle provisionally — in the apartment of her boyfriend Guillermo (Mendilaharzu) in the Chacarita neighborhood. The first few minutes are typical of this “subgenre” of COVID times: wearing masks, maintaining social distance, using hand sanitizer, disinfecting food, changing shoes as soon as you enter, earning a living by teaching online or selling homemade bread… The risk of pandemic comedy “fatigue” at this point is evident.Read More »

    In this tragicomic road movie, unsuccessful young journalist Sebastian Zöllner (Daniel Brühl) is writing an article on the legendary but almost forgotten painter Manuel Kaminski. As Zöllner misuses the reclusive Kaminski under the guise of helping him reconnect with his lost love, Zöllner’s ulterior motive becomes obvious – the sooner Kaminski dies, the sooner he can cash in on the article and become famous. But misuse can be a two-way street – the elderly Kaminski doesn’t mind having someone pay his way to travel throughout Europe, thus escaping the control of his overbearing daughter Miriam. Based on world-renowned Austrian author Daniel Kehlmann’s novel of the same name, this art industry satire highlights the emptiness of blatant self-promotion while taking the audience on a true adventure.Read More »
