MYNA SE VA (**1/2)
Shocking low-budget video about a young illegal immigrant woman who babysits an injured young boy and gets brutally raped by a doctor. The 33-minutes violent sex scene is definitely not for the faint-hearted! Disconcerting but sincere.

O ESTRANHO CASO DE ANGÉLICA (***)
101-year-old Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira shows no sign of fading out. “All of recent De Oliveira is here: the static long takes with purposely stiff acting and artificial dialogue; the ultra-dry, almost arid, humor; the superb cinematography and impeccable mise-en-scene; the subtle attacks on the stuffy bourgeoisie; the preoccupation with the poetic imagination; and so on. In this film, all is pleasantly leavened with a gorgeous and ethereal piano score.” (The Hollywood Reporter)

NOSTALGIA DE LA LUZ (***1/2)
Compelling film that links astronomy and archaeology with Pinochet’s political repression thirty years ago. Another essential documentary by Patricio Guzmán!
