Mara, a largely sullen, silent, standoffish young woman, watches as Lisa, her longtime roommate and possible former lover, moves into a new apartment of her own.
Switzerland, 2021, Ramon & Silvan Zürcher
The exactingly shot sophomore feature from the twin brothers who made 2013’s The Strange Little Cat imbues an everyday event with ambiguity and mystery. Mara, a largely sullen, silent, standoffish young woman, watches as Lisa, her longtime roommate and possible former lover, moves into a new apartment of her own. Gleaned relationships and subplots emerge from the flurry of activity and the constant comings and goings of friends, relatives, neighbors, and workmen. Words, gestures, and facial expressions signify conflicting feelings and emotions (love, longing, regret, resentment, betrayal) at this traumatic time of transition. “Precisely observed…A symphony of separation and solitude.” –Screen Int’l. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 99 min. Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8.
