PANORAMA: VERS MADRID BY SYLVAIN GEORGE

By José Sarmiento Hinojosa

After following illegal immigrants for three years in Calais, Sylvain George‘s work came to an initial praise among film critics: In fact,his diptych Qu’ils Reposent En Révolte (Des Figures De Guerre) and Les Éclats (Ma Gueule, Ma Révolte, Mon Nom), two films best understood as a single, individual work, were essential as pure depictions of the human factor that these wondering undocumented citizens represented, the whole issue of immigration put under a magnifying glass.

Por Mónica Delgado

Para empezar, O quinto evanxeo de Gaspar Hauser no busca una interpretación del supuesto hecho histórico en sí ni mucho menos hacer una versión contemporánea del personaje arrojado al mundo luego de haber estado en enclaustrado de por vida desde su nacimiento (datos que son mencionados en el comienzo de la película a través del texto o narración: Gaspar Hauser como leyenda y su identidad como enigma).

PANORAMA: WHITE EPILEPSY BY PHILIPPE GRANDRIEUX

By José Sarmiento

There’s nothing as essential and primal that Philippe Grandrieux has done so far with his cinema than this fifth feature: White Epilepsy (2012) is stripped of all the artifices and narrative pulses of his previous works, and focuses instead in the plausible eroticism of his method, creating a unique and rarefied atmosphere and placing his gaze on the dialogue and the alienation of the body.
