Cuatro epístolas, cuatro narradores y cuatro maneras de visualizar esos imaginarios, que van desde la textura de Super 8 hasta la yuxtaposición de la emoción psicodélica del footage. El portugués Miguel Gomes en buena forma propone con Redemption (Portugal, 2013) y en sus menos de 30 minutos, una lectura de la psique de cuatro personajes de la Europa de antaño, confrontadas a la crisis política actual.

LaBruce, alejado sutilmente del homocore, realiza una historia de amor con todos sus ritos, un drama en clave de comedia sobre este joven, con problemas edípicos y con novia, que decide dejarlo todo por acompañar a su nuevo amante hacia un viaje de despedida.

Del Busto va a ir configurando en su linealidad y artificio un paseo por esta inconformidad del protagonista en crisis, tanto en su proceso creativo, como dentro de su simulada vida pasional o de intercambio con el personaje que ha creado para su film.

Mientras en sus anteriores trabajos, Lois Patiño se detenía en planos fijos para mostrar aquello que se transforma en la naturaleza, poderosa, donde apenas lo humano asoma en su pequeñez o simplemente como acompañante o testigo pasajero de esos cambios, en su primer largometraje Costa da Morte, dentro de ese gobierno del paisaje en grandes panorámicos, los testimonios de los habitantes cobran una dimensión paralela a la contemplación.

En Stray dogs, Tsai Ming – liang muestra de modo contundente que en el mundo ya no hay espacio para la válvula de escape que gozaban los personajes de sus anteriores películas a través de la música, el sexo o simplemente el desborde o la liberación imaginada.

It should not become as a surprise that Gustav Deutsch(Vienna, 1952), better known from his work with found footage of obscure sources, had decided to do a film about Edward Hopper’s paintings, recreating the story of Shirley’s (a fictional lead character) personal life through the 30’s to the 60’s. “I am interested in the meaning that is given by the image”1, were his words about Film Ist. a Girl & a Gun, and that reflection could easily land in fertile ground when referring to this latest film. Shirley: Visions of Reality, it’s probably 2013’s definitive masterpiece, a film which digs deep into Hopper’s universe and uses it to spark a story which speaks about an era, its politics, its mood but more importantly, an intimate personal journal through one of America’s most convulsed periods.

The cinema of Apichatpong Weerasethakul is, amongst many other things, a cinema where ghosts, past lives, dreams and possibilities are all layered upon one another, flowing at a supine pace, with sodden atmosphere – like the Mekong river that forms the impassive centerpiece of this film. Many – if not most – of the film’s shots take place on a balcony overlooking the river, while everything else takes place in and around a hotel on the riverbanks.
