The folk-horror landing seems perfectly senseless, and the characters are paper-thin (sorry), but cinematographer Gabriel Krajanek has a serious relationship with landscape and low light that gives the goings-on a sepulchral aura. Even without director Peter Hengl’s visual portentousness, the scenario comes loaded: An obese teen (Nina Katlein) decides to spend Easter with her skinny nutritionist/author aunt (Pia Hierzegger), and finds the family-rangy shirtless Dad, doted-upon psycho son-to be deranged, or something worse. The Austrian film Family Dinner (the Austrian title of which is Family Dinner ) isn’t as fortunate, but being one of the new breed of hyper-elliptical quasi-horror thingies, it doesn’t quite need to be. But the rhythms are right, and the granular performances-particularly Trine Dyrholm as the vexed doctor and Danish icon Jakob Cedergren as the sexual schemer-are immediate and convincing. A mother and an abused young daughter hiding out on a deserted beach, a doctor on assignment during a flight to repatriate Afghan refugees, a bullied gay high schooler picked up by a teacher, an adulterer plagued by the meddlesome owner of the Airbnb he rents for a tryst, a young couple coming apart at a funeral-each story is unresolved in its way, which can be either frustrating or fascinating. Oleson’s A Matter of Trust (the accurate English title would be No One Knows the Day, after a recent Danish pop song-who’s responsible for these lame English retitlings?) is better, a five-strand Raymond Carver-esque narrative weave writhing with ethical compromise. The English title shifts the focus away from her trauma (the original title, La Santa Piccola, translates to The Holy Child ), perhaps in hopes of hitting on the Call Me By Your Name market share, but, in any case, nothing in the story is as focused as Brunelli’s eagle-eyed portraiture of Naples’ down-and-dirty textures.ĭanish director Annette K. The grab-bag mandate still rules, with a nicely quixotic helping of global plates, such as Silvia Brunelli’s Blessed Boys, in which two serious-bromance Neapolitan buddies (Francesco Pellegrino and Vincenzo Antonucci) party and struggle with family issues, the matter of their unrequited gay bond overshadowed by a little sister’s exploited transformation by her mother into a miracle-working living saint, prayed to by the neighborhood.
Our own downtown fest of raw movieness, a deft New Yawk self handy, and the premier egghead meta-Sundance all at once, the event can be counted upon to aggregate indies and dependies that might well find happy audiences without necessarily rating very high on the art-film barometer of the uptown-y New York Film Festival. Oleson’s 'A Matter of Trust'- a five-strand Raymond Carver-esque narrative weave writhing with ethical compromise. Rowdy Rebel Takes to the Streets to Woo Nina: The “Woo Nina” single is out now.Annette K. Rebel,’ which has amassed 1 million views, leans into the rapper’s storytelling and his ability to craft a narrative, while “Woo Nina” serves as a reminder that at any moment, Rowdy is available to fulfill his role as an OG of Brooklyn’s current-gen rap scene.” Rebel,’ a more solemn look at Rowdy’s character, which sometimes prefers to ask forgiveness rather than permission,” reads the press release. “’Woo Nina’ follows, and somewhat contrasts, Rowdy’s previous release ‘Rowdy vs. What follows is a masterclass in Rebelnomics: brash declarations of loyalty (‘I’ll never cross my n****s for no bread!’), subtle-but-sharp wit (‘Do you see any purple in my head?’) and love for GS9 (‘Shoutout Bobby … he did that damn time”).īesides a few overhead car shots, the video generally sees Rebel and his buddies rapping and busting moves on the street. His jovial, rambunctious energy-which he’s previously attributed to his Caribbean upbringing-is evident from the onset of the track, as he belts ‘Wooooo Ninnnaaa’ to signify his bouncy entrance.
