LO AND BEHOLD, REVERIES OF THE CONNECTED WORLD ★★★★

Werner Herzog has a knack for making just about anything interesting and engaging. I’m pretty interested in the Internet having worked in the industry (or associated ones) for many years, so my anticipation on this was very high. I’m pleased that the expectations were met. It offered several slices of information about the Internet ranging from interviews with people who helped create it, the future it may hold, commentary on the social impact, and some of the darker sides to it. A must see.

JULIETA ★★★★

Yep, it was a 100% great MIFF day as the second film was also one of my festival highlights. Directed by Pedro Almodóvar, (whose films I probably should have seen a lot more of than I have), the story tells of a Spanish teacher and goes into the history of how she met her daughter’s father, and follows through to show how her daughter came to ex-communicate her later in life. Really enjoyed this.
