Together Apart

Chinese funerals require much preparation: a three-day wake and various rituals precede the cremation. In the opening shots of this magical realist film, the widow returns home drained and starts tidying up the house, only to encounter her deceased husband casually sauntering down the stairs. She soon readopts a familiar routine: dressing him warmly, measuring his blood pressure and bickering with him. This absurd premise soon develops when visitors from the afterlife are expected and the daughter starts getting involved. As she seeks to solve the impossible situation, grandson Jiajia seems to be the only one unquestioningly embracing grandad's return. All shot in long, composed takes, replete with understated humour and tender reflections on family, loneliness, memory and the passing of time. (c) IFFR

Once Upon a Time in Sad Hill

An intelligent thriller about how women claim their freedom in a cemetery named Sad Hill, known as the final scene of Sergio Leone’s iconic spaghetti western film The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966). Four artists are finishing a workshop in a palace in Northern Spain as they recall a strange incident that happened to two long-time married couples who got lost nearby years before. After a dream-like walk in the mountains, the couples, strangers to each other, arrived in a mythic burial place called Sad Hill, where they had to face the naked facts of their hollow marriages in a totally new psychological light. The wives started the same walking ballet as did Clint Eastwood, Lee van Cleef and Eli Wallach in Leone’s film. In a few minutes, the lives of the couples would change completely.

Now or Never

Henry is usually hungover, even more often in a bad mood and rather an imposition as a death assistant. His caring attitude towards his clients is hidden under a very rough exterior. Rebecca, on the other hand, is good-looking, provocative, young and has a brain tumor. She is Henry's latest client and declares it his task to accompany her to a really wild party on her last night. When Henry wants to induce her death the next day, Rebecca has changed her mind. Death should wait, instead she wants to go to a miracle healer in some mountain village and Henry should take her there. There's no point in refusing, Rebecca has nothing to lose and she asserts herself ruthlessly. Pursued by Henry's colleague Benno and Rebecca's husband Daniel - whose existence she has stupidly not told Henry about - they embark on a crazy trip full of absurd encounters that take more out of Henry than he could have imagined.

The narrative progresses to reveal his saviour syndrome, among other extremely problematic views, further accentuating the irony between his public image and personal practice. However, as he sits down to write the final chapter of his book about women's rights, has his past finally caught up with him?
