Why watch this film?
They say that music has the ability to transport us to the past, and The Greatest Hits takes this as a literal premise. The plot of this film, selected at the 2024 SXSW Festival, follows a young woman (Sing Street's Lucy Boynton) who has been trying to overcome the sudden death of her boyfriend for years, but discovers that certain songs allow her to travel to the past... and question everything. Similar to the already classic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, this film allegorically explores the experience of losing a loved one, the questions that arise from it (could it have been different? was there anything to do to prevent it?), but also the importance of acceptance, letting go, and living in the present. It's uneven, but the premise is interesting, and Boynton delivers a beautiful and melancholic performance.

Drama
Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World
To start discussing Do Not Expect Too Much From The End Of The World, it's worth mentioning one thing: if something earns applause from John Waters (Pink Flamingos), you can be sure it will be wild. Directed by the provocative Romanian filmmaker Radu Jude (Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn), the story follows a busy and underpaid production assistant (Ilinca Manolache) who must film a safety video for a multinational company. However, a statement in the video sparks a controversy that spirals into chaos. Filmed as a mockumentary, the film is a fierce, intriguing, and hilariously acidic critique of modern society, its vices, its cynicism, and its contradictions. Featuring Nina Hoss (Tár) and Uwe Boll, considered one of the worst filmmakers in history.
