MIFF 2018 - Day 6

Our House

And odd little ghost story. A house haunted by two sets of women. A mother and daughter, and an amnesiac and the woman who found her. It's something to be experienced rather than analysed I think, but a fairly strong showing for what's a film school graduation piece.

Antonio Lopez 1970: Sex, Fashion and Disco

A verbal biography of a fashion icon. Kind of snapshot of swinging sixties fashion. Fun.

Burning

Pretty much the definition of slow burn. Initially I was thinking it was an overly arty story about a dropkick, a cocktease and a sociopath. It kinda is to be honest. But the drawn out nature works in its favour, building to a sad but satisfying climax. Highly recommended.

Euthanizer

A car mechanic euthanises people's pets for cheap, while lecturing them on what terrible owners they are. He also gets into a sadomasochistic relationship with his dying father's nurse and ends up fighting a bunch of neo nazis. It sounds like the basis for an absurdist comedy, but there's more to it than that. He has reasons for his actions and they're interesting. I wasn't expecting too much from this one, but it was great.
