FANTASTIC FEST 2022: Nothing (2022)
Based on the Danish young adult novel by Janne Teller, Nothing may be the best movie I saw at Fantastic Fest and was definitely the darkest. A young boy named Pierre Anthon (Harald Kaiser Hermann) has seen the inherent purposelessness of life and decided to climb a tree and stay up there like Zacchaeus or a […]
FANTASTIC FEST 2022: Shorts With Legs
Fantastic Fest’s patented bipedal program of short-subject cinema that buck conventions and blur boundaries of genre, aesthetics and taste returns with a barrage of provocative peculiarities. Expect the unexpected, but prepare for an array of unique sensibilities — from the polished to the anarchic — as absurdism and experimentation abound and silliness co-mingles with severity. […]
FANTASTIC FEST 2022: Brutal Season (2022)
In the Trout family kitchen in Redhook, Brooklyn on one day in 1948, father is seeking a new job and Junior returns home after being gone for twelve years. Seems normal, but things spiral out of control. I didn’t expect to watch an Americana play dealing with poverty and family regret at Fantastic Fest but […]
FANTASTIC FEST 2022: Flowing (2022)
Directed by Paolo Strippoli (A Classic Horror Story) and written by Strippoli, Jacopo Del Giudice and Gustavo Hernández, Flowing is about a strange phenomenon in Rome: every time it rains, the manholes unleash a fog of unknown origin and composition.

FANTASTIC FEST 2022: Freaky Farley (2007)
Motern Media — Matt Farley and Charles Roxburgh — make movies that seem to be horror on the outside but are wonderfully strange movies on the inside, explorations of the darkness — and light — within small towns. Like here, in a small New Hampshire town, Farley Wilder (Farley) is the son of talk show […]
