Malembe Trailers

Through its rhythmic montage and mix of observational and surreal imagery, Malembe forges oblique linkages between the United States and Venezuela, conveying the strange dissociation of being uprooted, of living between places. As a knife cuts through sky, through snow, and through fruit, quasi-ethnographic footage—with its conventional markers of music, food, ritual—joins with home-movie auto-portraiture of a New England winter, communicating a sense of dislocation at once vertiginously queasy and absurdly comic.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
