MIFF 2018 - Day 10

[Censored]

Interesting in parts but undeveloped in full. Seeing a bunch of clips censored from movies really shows how some things are presented. Violence against women, affection, violence in general. It needed more work I think to dig into the ideas behind the theming of sequences, but it was OK.

Wrath of Silence

A grim and ugly thriller set against corruption in China's mining industry. It's a tightly directed film, but didn't end up sticking with me the way similar thrillers have tended to. Highly enjoyable in the moment though.

The Night Eats The World

A solid little zombie tale. A man wakes up in an apartment to find himself the sole survivor of a zombie apocalypse. So he sets about gathering supplies and trying to survive. And rigging up Rube Goldberg contraptions to help him make music. It's very much a study of a man losing his sanity to loneliness. Nothing much new to add to the genre, but a good entry into it.
