Shot empathetically and on beautiful 16mm, Armand is a tribute to the powerhouse female characters of Bergman and Cassavetes: those who dance while the world falls apart around them.

this one! will be in my best of decade list 🥺
The great 2024 releases you might have missed:

8. Our Body by Claire Simon, an observational documentary set in a gynaecology clinic that is “a devoted testament to these people and their pain, and a remarkable piece of cinema” writes Caitlin Quinlan. On MUBI UK now. https://buff.ly/3Siionq
Our Body review: epic study of a gynaecology clinic
Recalling the work of Frederick Wiseman in its patient observational style, this remarkable documentary is a comprehensive if somewhat idealised portrait of women’s medical experiences in Paris.

Nightbitch review: Mothermorphosis
Amy Adams brings wholehearted empathy to Mother, an exhausted suburban woman whose animalistic transformation offers a release from the frustrations of parenthood.
