Homemade
Netflix released HOMEMADE this week. An anthology of 17 short films from various world filmmakers. I highly recommend watching them all as they all have something different to bring to the table but below are a few that I found special!
Ladj Ly’s short. This is a spiritual successor to Ladj’s feature LES MISERABLES. It follows the character Buzz (Ladj’s son Al-Hassan) as he flies his drone over Clichy-Montfermeil outside of Paris.
Pablo Larrain’s short. A sweet short showcasing a man in a nursing home professing his love to a woman who got away. But there is a twist…..
Ana Lily Amipour’s short. Showcases Ana as she rides around an empty Los Angeles on her bicycle. Narrated with equal parts chilling/poetic/hopeful narration by Cate Blanchett (soon to be in our BORDERLANDS!).
