AMANDA
Recommended. Inspired by terrorist attacks in Paris without being based on a particular one. Very morose but profound psychologically. One layer deals with grieving after the death of loved ones - plausibly since you see the bereaved burst into tears unexpectedly the way people do in real life. Another layer tackles taking over parental duties when you realise you've never truly had parents yourself. Finally there's one covering refugees from all angles. Still, each of the layers is very subtle, nothing's in your face. Even the death. No funeral is shown either. Strangely it makes it all the more powerful. I was crying for a bigger part of the film.
VISAGES VILLAGES (FACES PLACES)
Recommended. Awe-inspiring open-air photographic artworks and lots of human warmth. Creativity, in spite of one's severe illness (i.e. an eye problem for a photographer) and humanity in one. Uplifting.
