Michelangelo Antonioni - Gente del Po AKA People of the Po Valley (1947)

"Paste Magazine" wrote:
by Sean Gandert

“Gente del Po” is very much a neo-realist work of its period, even though it’s completely a documentary rather than just having the trappings of reality. The film follows a family of fishers through their day-to-day life, inflecting a semblance of narrative onto things at the end by explaining a journey into town as a trip for medicine, but for the most part, the film is simply descriptive. Of course, Antonioni has never been particularly known for his narratives, which usually consist of little more than pretty young people angsting around, but here the difference is that the family doesn’t even approach characterization, described only as “a man, a woman, and a girl.”

In and of itself the film is not particularly interesting, but within the context of Antonioni it’s fairly enlightening. “Gente del Po” is a movie whose entire value comes from its style, and in contrast to the verite documentary style that’s best known, all of its shots are carefully composed. It’s remarkable how much the film in fact evokes Antonioni’s later works. Smoke across a river feels like a piece cut from Red Desert, while a gliding shot later in the film, with characters moving laterally while a camera pans to the side, could be pulled from nearly anything else he directed. His camera, in contrast to a lot of American documentaries at the time, not only doesn’t remain remotely still, but also gives us some canted angles and oddly-situated shots. With no real subject to constrain him, it’s a movie purely made for visual pleasure. The film’s narration in fact feels intrusive to something that perhaps should have been left as simply pictures and music. “Gente del Po” is a beautiful movie, with nearly as interesting visuals as his features, that also points to the direction his later films would take.

Cate Shortland - Somersault (2004)

Heidi (Abbie Cornish) is a pretty teenager who leaves home after getting caught making out with her mother's boyfriend. She impulsively travels to Jindabyne, a snowy ski resort town, because she once met a man from there who said she should call him if she was ever in town. When that connection doesn't materialize, Heidi is forced to fend for herself with little money. Her first night in town, she goes to a bar, drinks, meets a boy, and goes home with him. She doesn't even notice Joe (Sam Worthington) watching her. The next morning, Heidi is dismayed to find that the guy she slept with has a girlfriend, and is on his way back to Sydney. Desperate and broke, she goes looking for work. Despite her good looks and charm, she's a bit too aggressive in trying to win friends and influence people. That night, she hooks up with Joe, and senses a connection between them. Instead of taking her home, he takes her to a motel. He seems reluctant to get involved with her, but she is persistent. The next morning, he hurriedly leaves for work. Joe works for his father, a wealthy farmer. Heidi meets the motel owner, Irene (Lynette Curran), who kindly offers to let her stay a couple of days, until she finds a job. Heidi ends up working at the local gas station with Bianca (Hollie Andrew). She begins to settle in, but her relationship with Joe deteriorates, her emotional instability takes hold. Somersault marks the feature debut of writer/director Cate Shortland. The film won 13 of the Australian Film Institute's annual awards in 2004, and was selected by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art for inclusion in the 2005 edition of New Directors/New Films.
