Winner of the Special Jury Prize in Venice, this spellbinding docudrama from Michelangelo Frammartino was described by jury president Bong Joon Ho as “a mystical cinematic experience.” A metaphysical exploration of Italy’s deepest cave, Il buco marries ravishing images to profound spiritual inquiry.
For his 1969 feature debut, director Alain Tanner (In the White City) transplants the revolutionary spark and spirit of May ‘68 to his native Switzerland, intelligently examining a man’s attempt to trade his comfortable bourgeois life for the counterculture. Winner of Locarno’s Golden Leopard!
In this lithe romantic triangle, Philippe Garrel shows us he only needs the barest means—plus 35mm B&W film—to tell a story. Co-scripted with his regular collaborator Jean-Claude Carrière, the film oozes desire and intensity, as two women (one played by his daughter Esther) find out what love means.
