Rated Frantic 6/10

Rated Soleil O 2/10
My initial thought was that I should have watched this before West Indies: Fugitive Slaves of Liberty, being an earlier film by the same filmmaker that was next on my watchlist. Coming away from it I'm not sure if that would have made me less inclined to start West Indies—which I loved—or like it even more on account of it being so, so much better than this.Where that was essentially a filmed theatre play, and brimmed with lots of presentational ideas, Soleil Ô borders on the documentary. There are some nice touches, like the chatter of passers by being dubbed over by cacophonous animal noises, but for the most part it really is just a guy wandering Paris unable to find a job on account of his race.
Rated Teen Guerrillas 1/10
Koreans playing Americans took some getting used to; I wasn't even sure who they were supposed to be initially.I watched this on YouTube via a transfer so bad it was mostly impossible to tell who was whom and what was going on, which probably didn't help with my enjoyment of the film.
Rated Sambizanga 1/10
I think my biggest issue with Sambizanga is its opening wall of text setting up internal conflicts, revolution, and any number of other things that just...aren't actually relevant to the plot. A man is abducted and tortured, while his wife tries to track him down. That could have worked were it not for the setup leaving me with very different expectations for the tone and events of the film, but even so it spends too much time cutting away to this other subplot about some locals who see the abductors bring their victim in.
Rated In the Lost Lands 7/10
A neat romp through a predictable post apocalyptic world but with a fun twist. The cinematography gives off some early 2000s sci fi vibes. Very artistic.

Rated Evil Dead Burn 6/10
Rated LA BOLA NEGRA 9/10
Difícil no emocionarse cuando cada fotograma es un cuadro renacentista, cada pieza musical un clásico instantáneo y cuya trágica historia es pura poesía.
Rated Made In China 5/10
On a très peur pendant les 10 premières minutes de se taper des blagues racistes pendant tout le film et rapidement la comédie potache se transforme en un petit drame familiale bien mené. Rien d'extravagant mais plutôt touchant. Pas mal du tout. Note : Allergie aux crustacés VS karaoké / 20
Rated Black to the Future 4/10
