PERSONAL SHOPPER ★★★★☆
D: Olivier Assayas (Clouds of Sils Maria, Something in the Air, Summer Hours, Boarding Gate, Irma Vep).
S: Kristen Stewart, Lars Eidinger, Sigrid Bouaziz.
Unusual. Evocative. Stewart & Assayas continue fruitful collaboration. Latter turning into a French David Fincher.
INTERCHANGE ★½☆☆☆
D: Dain Iskandar Said (Bunohan: Return to Murder).
S: Prisia Nasution, Iedil Putra, Shaheizy Sam.
Silly supernatural neo-noir nonsense. Unconvincing dialogue and acting. (Unexpectedly kept comparing to BLADE RUNNER.)
RAW ★★★★☆
D: Julia Ducournau.
S: Garance Marillier, Ella Rumpf, Rabah Nait Oufella, Laurent Lucas, Bouli Lanners.
So fucked up. In a good way. A vegetarian veterinary student turns cannibal. Hilarious. Bonkers. Lead is brill.
BOUNDARIES ★★★☆☆
D: Chloé Robichaud (Sarah Prefers to Run).
S: Macha Grenon, Emily VanCamp, Nathalie Doummar, Rémy Girard.
A droll geopolitical melodrama. Specificity of issues makes more universal. Too many montages.
VOYAGE OF TIME: LIFE'S JOURNEY ★★★½☆
[documentary]
D: Terrence Malick (Knight of Cups, To the Wonder, The Tree of Life, The New World, The Thin Red Line, Days of Heaven, Badlands).
N: Cate Blanchett.
Malick makes his first film of substance since THE TREE OF LIFE. Though, it is no KOYAANISQATSI/POWAQQATSI.
