MIFF Day 2 and 3

Andrew Lee was at the Melbourne International Film Festival:

• MIFF Day 10
• MIFF Day 11
• MIFF Day 12
• MIFF Day 13 (Sell Out!)
• MIFF Day 14
• MIFF Day 15
• MIFF Day 16

Pen and I saw Sell Out! on Thursday. Satire aimed at realist indy filmmaking, the Malaysian government, identity politics, corporate culture and reality TV. Lots of fun.

Then we saw Bluebeard. A cool-headed telling of Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard, with female desire inserted.

I saw Silent Wedding on Friday. What seems like a fun but sleight slice-of-life in Stalin’s Romania, is made strange and horrifying by its frame story.
