Since movie theatres were forced to temporarily close in 2020, there’s been a lot of buzz and bluster about what hot new film release might have the power to swoop in and single-handedly save cinema. Well, move over Avatar, forget about Tenet: cinema has a brand new saviour in town. Her name is M3gan. Picking […] The post M3GAN – Review appeared first on One Room With A View ..read more

A Human Position – Review
One Room With A View
by Scott Wilson
1y ago
True to A Human Position’s slow nature, this Norwegian film reveals itself days after taking root. The stillness of its cinematography – the camera never moves – reflects the sleepy seaside town of Ålesund, where Asta is a young journalist living with her girlfriend Live, who spends her time repairing chairs and writing playful songs.

This is not the Italy of Pixar’s Luca or Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name. Packed concrete apartments are separated by narrow streets in Naples’ Spanish Quarters, where young people are trapped in generational cycles of crime. In response, the Italian authorities remove high-risk children from their families, as in the case of our protagonist […] The post Hide and Seek – Review appeared first on One Room With A View ..read more

The Solé family’s orchard has passed down from father to father for generations, but now, it is in danger of destruction at the hands of solar panel developers. The family’s ownership of the land exists as a verbal agreement following an act of profound kindness many years ago, but that is meaningless to a company […] The post Alcarràs – Review appeared first on One Room With A View ..read more

Nocebo – Review
One Room With A View
by Scott Wilson

Eva Green leans into scream queen territory in Nocebo, as a woman living with the after-effects of a tragic phone call at her fashion designer workplace. Delusions and convulsions are Christine’s new normal, while her husband Felix (Mark Strong) and daughter Bobs (Billie Gadsdon) merely exist around her, distant and unsure of her behaviour. Before […] The post Nocebo – Review appeared first on One Room With A View ..read more

One Room With A View
by Tom Bond
1y ago
This film was previously reviewed in September 2022 as part of our Venice Film Festival coverage. Don DeLillo’s novel White Noise (1985) depicts an era where the relative security of Western middle class life mutated into nihilism. The Gladney children eagerly watch plane crashes on TV, safe in their domestic bubble.
