one movie that really stuck with me was not that yellow as guy yet. of those robe of gems, it tells the intertwined stories of 3 women and mexico who against their will get entangled with drug car. it's hell, it's, of course, a world dominated by men full of brutality in which women are most often the one's picking up the pieces. and the violence is just everywhere, but you don't see it and that makes it so very powerful. and what is remarkable about this movie to, is that not that yellow face has never done a feature film before. she's the only latin american in the running for the golden bear. so you would think that this makes her kind of an underdog, but she has done a lot of editing before she is very critically acclaimed. as such, she had, has added to this movie as well. she's done some acting and some short form directing. and that seems to make her a force to be reckoned with. brendan? well, you know, robin jones, i mean it's not the only competition movie premiering today that is made by women and with women than leading robes. right. exactly,

early zyden new or grew. minnie sat in the seaside resort of a remedy in italy in the off season. there we meet a singer who has to admit that while his best days have come and gone, he's down alcoholic and gambling addict. and he sleeps with his group is in order to pay for his vices. the movie was shot before the pandemic and is almost entirely improvise. and like all over the side of the movies, it shows us in our deepest, unfulfilled yearnings and shows us the ugly truth without glossing it over with a truly come meeting tragedy. a very unique thing that only sy low is, brings still so that one is one to watch. out for 2 are run to come for. look at the berlin international film festival is always be cool. thank you. you watch and he w news w business days is up. next i will see you on monday. ah
