reviews
I will say this – Likarion Wainaina's brainchild translates marvellously onto the screen. The writers did an incomprehensible job of making a movie that's about a little girl, about family, and one of my favourites – a la Black panther – about what community actually means. It's weepy without being far-flung tragic, funny without camp and it's beautiful without using the premise of the story as a crutch. Did I mention the perfectly selected cast who made the film as Kenyan as it could possibly be, complete with thoughts and prayers, accents and children playing something as simple as soccer on a field? I don't want to say it is perfect because the critic in me rebel against such sweeping phrases, but it was as close as I've seen thus far.

Daaaaaalí! Daaaaaalí!

Quentin Dupieux

Friday, 29. 03. 2024 / 20:30 / Main Hall

The French master absurdist Quentin Dupieux (Mandibles) pays homage to his idol with a playful and unpredictable “non-biography”, which demonstrates that Dalí’s greatest work of art was his personality. Here it is—the caaaaardinal and delicioooooous film that reveals a Dalí never before seen by the public, proving, if there is even need for proof, that Daaaaaalí is probably the only artist on this miserable little planet.
