Why watch this film?
Don't you get the feeling that the story of Peter Pan has been adapted hundreds of times for the movies? Among the various productions, there's the classic 1950s animation, the historic (and little known) 1924 version, the 2000 version with Jeremy Sumpter, Spielberg's with Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams and Julia Roberts; plus one more with Rooney Mara and Hugh Jackman in 2015, and now in 2020 comes this version directed by David Lowery (A Ghost Story). The differentiating bet on Peter Pan & Wendy is to be an inclusive live-action about growing up and facing your fears - among other good novelties, there's an actor with Down Syndrome and a black actress playing Tinkerbell.

A Ghost Story
How can we talk about the cycle of time, death, and the end of life in films? It's an abstract subject, with different interpretations that challenge filmmakers to bring this conversation to the big screen. For example, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' used a fantastic realism to make the audience think about old age, death, and birth. Filmmaker Terrence Malick used an abstract tone in the powerful 'The Tree of Life.' And in 'A Ghost Story', director David Lowery (‘Ain't Them Body Saints’) uses the traditional image of a ghost -- with a sheet over their body and two holes over their eyes -- to talk about these complicated, sad, and deep subjects. And the result couldn’t have been better. With a pulsing melancholy, the film portrays this cycle of life through the viewpoint of the dead, the living, and even those that have nothing to do with it. A monologue, done right in the middle of the film by a character who only appears once, summarizes with an impressive assertiveness what life is. Beautiful, sad, powerful. It isn’t unfair to consider ‘A Ghost Story’ one of the best films of 2018.
The Green Knight
Directed by David Lowery, this is an adaptation of the 14th-century Arthurian poem, 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'. 'The Green Knight' follows young knight and King Arthur's nephew, Gawain (Dev Patel, from 'Lion'), who challenges the mythical Green Knight to a game: he can attack him with a sword, in exchange for receiving an attack of equal magnitude the following year. When Gawain decapitates the knight, but sees that he is still alive, he must face his destiny: find him one year later to die. This is a contemplative epic, which unfolds at a low burn and, at first glance, may seem to make little sense. However, similar to another Lowery film (the wonderful 'A Ghost Story'), this is the kind of story that challenges the viewer to come to terms with their own humanity, specifically with the inevitable nature of death at the hands of time's own passing. Those expecting an adventure akin to 'The Lord of the Rings' may be a bit disappointed, but those wishing to approach 'The Green Knight' on these terms will find a true work of art filled with captivating imagery.

Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp

Robot Dreams
Sometimes we get so carried away by the marketing power of studios like Disney Pixar, and we overlook other avenues for deep and powerful animated stories that don't need excessively complex plots to evoke emotions. Such is the case with Robot Dreams, a Hispanic-French production directed by Pablo Berger (2012’s Snow White), based on the eponymous graphic novel by Sara Varon. Set in New York during the 80s, the story follows Dog, whose solitary life leads him to buy a robot for companionship. Their friendship grows, but an unfortunate day at the beach forces them to separate and long for the day of their reunion. Virtually without dialogue, with vibrant animation and a captivating visual language, the film tells a simple yet profoundly moving story about (curiously) human relationships and the course they take despite (or because of) accidents, fortuitous circumstances, and uncontrollable events that happen throughout life.
