Dünya prömiyerini 72. Locarno Film Festivali’nde yapmış olan Yorgos Lanthimos’un kısa filmi Nimic (2019), MUBI Türkiye’de gösterime girdiğinde, Lanthimos’un aşina olduğumuz soğuk, kara mizahla dolu, absürt dünyasının hangi parçasıyla karşılaşacağıma duyduğum merakla ekranın karşısına geçtim. MUBI filmi şöyle sunuyordu: “Yorgos Lanthimos filmleri, topluma yansıttığımız kimliklerin ardındaki varoluşsal dehşeti ararken, korku türüyle flört halindedir. Lanthimos’un hiç […]

While nobody thinks Woody Allen has another Annie Hall in him, A Rainy Day in New York is a dull and forgettable film by a director still in love with the persona he’s now too old to perform himself.
