Les misérables (2017)
An exciting and revealing film
On the outskirts of Paris - Saint Dennis, there is an atmosphere that has nothing to do with the glamor of the City of Light. A police team that makes the round of the small crimes of the neighborhood, introduces a newcomer to the addicted and conniving protocol of surveillance of the mainly inhabited by immigrants.
An exciting and revealing film.
Bonobo (2018)
Zoel Aeschbacher , develops with mastery the representation of the complex social contradictions
It is within a popular Condominium in the developed and aseptic Switzerland that the filmmaker, Zoel Aeschbacher , develops with mastery the representation of the complex social contradictions that explode at all times in the countries where conflicting economic and cultural inequalities coexist.
A broken elevator is witness to the insurmountable difficulty encountered by several representatives of vulnerable populations: A retired physically disabled man who naively complains to fix the lift that can take him down, a Hispanic immigrant with his son who desperately tries to move out of the apartment and receive the deposit back to be able to pay bail to another location, an unemployed African immigrant with talent for dancing looking for a chance to develop his art. All three, frustrated in their projects by a metaphorical elevator that is always defective and stops at the most important moments. The final explosion of so many frustrations is magnificently brought to the scene by the director and the performance of the actors.
