Happy St. Patrick's Day

The Fever 2019
Haunting and elusive in the vein of Uncle Bonmee or Tropical Malady, but with an added immediacy brought on by it’s political context (not that Bonmee or Malady aren’t political). It’s so incredibly still, yet totally present, perhaps because of that stillness; every protracted frame is full of color and life that draws both Justino and the audience into the world he’s been forced to leave behind.
