Bantú Mama
Fun fact: It’s no accident that the sea is shown as a savior throughout the film. The sea brought T.I.N.A.’s family to the islands, just as they brought Emma’s to France. The sea connects both places, and to the coast of Africa. It’s a bittersweet connection, fraught with a bloody past, but also the possibility of a brighter future. Bantú MamaDirector: Ivan HerreraImdb:   6.3 Azure sky, clear waters, and a blindingly-white beach surround the all-inclusive Dominican resort where a French-Cameroonian woman named Emma (co-writer Clarisse Albrecht) unwinds at the beginning of the Dominican Republic’s Oscar hopeful “Bantú Mama” from director and co-writer Ivan Herrera. Her relaxation is cut short when she receives a phone call saying a dubious meeting has been moved up a week today. Suddenly she’s checked out, her luggage thrown into a sugar cane field, and back at the airport with an identical case and a little excess baggage. When things go awry after she’s arrested, Emma finds herself rescued by a trio of semi-orphaned kids who hide her in the most dangerous neighborhood in Santo Domingo. 2022 1 h 07 min Drama Cast: Cast Clarisse Albrecht as Emma Scarlett Reyes as T.I.N.A.

White Noise
Fun fact: There's a version of this character that's pitched to eleven—the awkward academic forced into trying to keep his family alive despite his inferior skill set—but Driver gives a performance that's often very subtle even as everything around him is going broad. Gerwig is a little oddly mannered early in the film, but that makes sense for a character who becomes somewhat unmoored before the air around her becomes toxic. White NoiseDirector: Noah BaumbachImdb:   6 Dramatizes a contemporary American family's attempts to deal with the mundane conflicts of everyday life while grappling with the universal mysteries of love, death, and the possibility of happiness in an uncertain world. 2022 1 h 45 min Comedy Cast: Cast: Adam Driver as Jack Gladney, Greta Gerwig as Babbette, Raffey Cassidy as Denise, Sam Nivola as Heinrich, May Nivola as Steffie, Don Cheadle as Murray Siskind, Jodie Turner-Smith as Winnie Richards, André 3000 as Elliot Lasherm, Lars Eidinger as Arlo Shell Official trailer:
