This week’s Video Dispatches covers the new home video releases of Buster Keaton’s films, The Reptile (1966), Claire Denis’ High Life and 2018 film Transit.
Transit finds Christian Petzold on the same end of the telescope as his previous films, but looking through a more sophisticated, evolved tool with a wider view of the medium.
Transit and Diamantino are two films that, though with varying approaches and to varying success, attempt to delve into the political turmoil of our world through their narratives.
In our first Melbourne International Film Festival report, we cover a collection of films, including Columbian crime dramas, a time-bending German war film, and an experimental exercise in young adult race relations.
