If you loved From the East, try News from Home
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Chantal Akerman, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to From the East, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What News from Home is
Paris, Texas without whimsy. A filmmaker lives in New York while her mother's letters recount quotidian life back in Belgium. The film's calm juxtaposition creates a portrait of familial guilt.
