Two teenagers meet and make out before everything gets seriously freaky in this ethereal low-budget French affair
This slender, ethereal, ultra-low-budget French film, getting a limited theatrical release before it goes to Mubi, starts off sort of dull and becomes increasingly entrancing. There’s something unresolved and formless about the ending, even within the film’s own avant garde terms of reference, but this second feature for director Damien Manivel may herald better things to come from the film-maker and his director of photography/co-writer/collaborator Isabel Pagliai. In a park in an unnamed city, two teenagers meet for a first date. The tall, gregarious boy (Maxime Bachellerie) has just discovered Sigmund Freud and lives with his single-parent mother, a hypnotherapist. The girl (Naomie Vogt-Roby), quieter and more thoughtful, was once a gymnast until she broke both wrists. They exchange relatively banal chit-chat and make out a bit until he leaves,...

My favourite short film of 2015, Isabella Morra is a 22-minute epic by French newcomer Isabel Pagliai. It world-premiered—amid minimal-to-zero fanfare—at the gigantic International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (Idfa) in November, as part of the 'Paradocs' sidebar devoted to edgy/experimental material, mainly shorts. "Cinema verité portrait of a French suburb that demonstrates how the threat of deadly adult violence lurks below the surface of child’s play," the Idfa website drily noted. "Isabella Morra", wrote Paradocs programmer Joost Daamen, "was the daughter of an early-16th-century Italian baron. When he left his wife and eight children to amuse himself at the French court, Isabella fell under the authority of her two narrow-minded, jealous brothers. They decided she was getting too familiar with their neighbour and punished her by death. Six years later, Isabella’s sonnets and songs were published, which made her into a well-known Renaissance poet. "Twentieth-century novelist...
