Casa d'Italia 2024

Cinema • Drama
Victor Erice / 2023 / Spain, Argentina / 169 min / Spanish, Catalan, English, French, Chinese with French subtitles

 

Set in contemporary Madrid, an aging filmmaker named Miguel Garay is called upon to recount his memories of working on his final and still unfinished film, "The Farewell Gaze." During its production, the lead actor and Miguel's close friend, Julio Arenas, disappeared without a trace, leaving in his wake a mystery that would haunt the lives of everyone associated with the film. Miguel never directed another project, instead living a quiet life as a writer by the coast. He remained reluctant to unravel the mystery surrounding Julio until approached by an investigative television program reviving the case decades later. With careful reflection, he reconnects with the film's crew, former lovers, and Julio's daughter, seeking closure for the disappearance and what it meant for all of their lives.

Over three decades after the release of his previous film, revered Spanish auteur Víctor Erice (The Spirit of the Beehive, El Sur, and Dream of Light) returns with a "poignant cinematic swan song" (The Hollywood Reporter). A reflective culmination of Erice's career in film, Close Your Eyes is a haunting meditation on memory, absence, and the enduring resonance of the moving image.

Paul King / 2017 / United Kingdom, France, United States / 103 min / French / Ages 6 and up

 

Certified super-duper ​"fresh" by Rotten Tomatoes (it's the best-reviewed film in the site's history), Paddington 2 was exactly the balm everyone needed in a decade marked by perplexing acts of unkindness and intolerance. This jubilant, Wes Anderson-esque sequel to the 2014 hit (also directed by Paul King) finds adorably pea-coated Paddington Bear working odd jobs in London to afford a birthday present for his far-away aunt, turning 100. His heart is set on an antique pop-up book, but when it goes missing, our marmalade-loving furball is framed for theft and thrown in the slammer. Hugh Grant has a ball playing a villainous washed-up actor; Sally Hawkins, Brendan Gleeson, and Jim Broadbent round out the human players. Delightfully droll and genuinely affecting, Paddington 2 is ​"a disarming, refreshing wallow in kindness" (Bilge Ebiri, Village Voice). (The Cinematheque)

Maurane, Billy Pedlow / 2024 / Québec (Canada), United States / English

 

Me and My Victim screenings will be preceded by the short film Les corps aqueux, winner of Best Art Film at the 5th edition of Montreal's Festival Emergence.

ME AND MY VICTIM recounts the "kind of fucked up" meeting between Maurane and Billy Pedlow. She lives in Montreal, he lives in New York. She's a multimedia artist specializing in video art and he's a poet. Not quite friends and not quite lovers, their meeting feels palpably contemporary in its defiance of labels and firm boundaries. Structured around an off-the-cuff audio recording and built as a kind of Tumblr-esque collage, the film explores, with brutal and paradoxical honesty, the complexity of sex and desire.
