It’s World Cinema day at Cinequest, as the fest rolls out its strongest foreign films. Here are my picks:
- The Memory of Water: This Chilean drama explores grief, its process and its impact and might just be most masterful filmmaking achievement at Cinequest 2016. Exquisite.
- Demimonde: Sex, intrigue and murder in this operatic Hungarian period drama. U.S. Premiere.
- Fever at Dawn: Urgent period romance between Holocaust survivors, with an unexpected nugget at the end.
- Parabellum: This absurdist and trippy Argentine drama is set in a pre-apocalyptic near future; clearly everyone should be panicking, but no one is.
