Guillaume Brac: A World Without Women (2012)

The title doesn't quite fit but this is a delicate and original film, actually a "moyen-métrage," mid-length, not a feature, 54 minutes, shown here, as presented in French cinemas this February, proceeded by a 24-minute one called Stranded or Naufragé, both featuring unique performances by Vincent Macaigne as a shy, sweet lonely guy called Sylvain. One of the discoveries of the five in this series I hadn't seen before. I still rate Ursula Meier's Sister highest of the ten, but there are more that I like than that I dislike. Alyah left me feeling a bit shortchanged, but it has a lot of style and is just almost really cool, and another new director to me. See below.
