Green: "What keeps us guessing is not the characters’ personal and self-aware journey to a known goal, but rather the hope that chance will put them in a place that they are not yet aware of; a place where we know that they belong." Read the whole reivew>> Unmade Beds Alexis Dos Santos, UK, 2008; 93m Few if any directors can capture the world of Bohemian youth with the dead-on aim and exuberance of Alex Dos Santos (Glue, ND/NF 2007). When wide-eyed Spaniard Axl comes to London, ostensibly to find the father who abandoned him, he lands in the middle of a creative hotbed of polyglot youth. Girls and boys from different countries congregate in an underground squat, coming and going as the spirit moves them. Axl finds an ally in Vera, a Belgian girl newly dumped by her boyfriend, and they both find romance with a handsome, elusive stranger. The rhythm of this perfectly titled second film vibrates with soulful energy enhanced by a musical score that suits the story’s shifting mood from slapstick to yearning. Dos Santos finds a startlingly original language, both visual and sonic, to tell his story of these irreverent and irresistible searchers. screening with Copy of Coralie / La Copie de Coralie Nicolas Engel, France, 2008; 22m The ins and outs of love, memory, and illusion are imaginatively explored in a totally original, offbeat musical.
