Günübirlik Sevgili

McOpinionated

Charming, and an unusual situation explored. Though the wider social meaning of the father-student relationship is ignored completely, neither age(gap) nor gender roles are irrelevant, and both are important themes. Some nice dialogue and pleasing close-ups of a gorgeous young freckly face.

Il secondo maestro del revolver

forse non 4.5, sicuramente è tra i lavori meno meritevoli di Garrel, ma stiamo comunque parlando di Garrel. Ogni suo film è da vedere, forse tra i film migliori del 2017.

I love that we’re living in the Golden Age of Esther Garrel.

***1/2. Black & White. Daughter must kill her stepmother in order to save her father. Greek tragedy, Freud and Jung. Eric Rohmer with sex. Strongly recommended.

OFF_FRAME

You have to hand it to Garrel for always being interested in exploring the stickier sides of relationships and with another script from Deruas you know you'll be looking at jealousy, adultery and the re-negotiation of relationships as truths surface. Good performances, minimal sound design and a nostalgia stirring black and white aesthetic all pull things together cohesively. 3 stars

Digital. There is no turning back, Garrel don't leave the little stories of "horn pain", filming them directly without any special cinematic addition, except for Renato Berta's cinematography and the sound: here we can still hear some concrete sounds out-of-the-field, as steps on the stairs - but, hélàs, the use of music has already trivialized. Soporific, if we can resist to so many cries and howls.

What you will see is classy cinema, framed with a stylish retro glow, but not devoid of a few uneven passages that feel more prosaic than poetic.

Federico D'Accinni

The struggles and turbulences of a modern day relationship as seen through the 35mm lens of a New Wave auteur. Infidelity, jealousy, unspoken truths - themes so strongly vivid within all of Garrel's world - are reworked towards a more articulated and engaged reflection on what human feelings truly entail. DoP Berta's black & white photography, crisp and atmospheric at the same time, acts like an added character.
