Leonora Addio (2022) |
Leonora Addio is not a good film, but it may be that very insufficiency that makes that universe closed in on itself, valuable. [Full review in Spanish] - Caimán Cuadernos de Cine

Will-o'-the-Wisp (2022) |

Vera (2022) |

Fairytale (2022) |
Fairytale is not so much a phantasmagoria as a reality inevitably deformed by wear and tear, an impossible fiction that never fully starts, or that constantly restarts, because it no longer even finds its place in time. [Full review in Spanish] - Caimán Cuadernos de Cine
