Women in Film Challenge 2025: [3/52] Animalia, dir. Sofia Alaoui (France/Morocco/Qatar, 2023)

The physical world is based on a more complex one. Like fish, who don’t see the water they’re in, we’re immersed in something we don’t see, either.

Animalia

Animalia    [trailer]

As she nears the end of her pregnancy, Itto and her in-laws find their lives turned upside down by a supernatural event.

Quiet movie with an unusual mix of elements and topics - religion and spirituality, the animals, social status of the rich and poor, global supernatural events.

It's a little much, and it took me a while to get used to it, you need some patience. But towards the end the story heads in a clearer direction.

The low-key film is compelling on the visual level.

Animalia ('12'): Mystical Moroccan Sci-Fi that almost gets Under-the-Skin-weird.

#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "Animalia" (at the #LFF). Eerie supernatural road-movie leaving more questions than answers. 3.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Animalia” (2023) (from the London Film Festival). (Also known as “Parmi Nous”). Again, I saw this at the Film Critic screenings prior to the opening of the London Film Festival. This is a weird one and not without artistic merit. But of all the films I saw in this first day of viewing, this is the one that has stayed in my thoughts most prominently, so I have…

Animalia de Sofia Alaoui: La jeune femme et le triporteur

Mohammed Bakrim //  Sofia Alaoui aime le Haut Atlas, notamment son versant oriental, du côté d’Azilal ; elle est attirée par la langue amazighe qu’elle aborde comme une composante de cet espace dont elle a fait son thème de prédilection. Une terre et une langue qui lui permettent de vivre certainement un sentiment d’étrangeté symbolique qu’elle exprime dans ses scénarii par le choix d’aborder …

top nine first time watches of 2023 tagged by @dizzymoods

this accidentally posted while I was working on alt text during a work break, so not everything is complete but the photos align with the text below.

#1 top film and theater experience of the year) watching Fremont in Fremont as a former Fremont resident

(2023, Babak Jalali)

2) Animalia (Parmi nous) via Sundance streaming

(2023, Sofia Alaoui)

becomes a truly mystical experience. like ppl are gonna make comparisons with certain Soviet films but let this one stand on its own pls

3) Bravo, Burkina (2023 , Walé Oyéjidé) via Sundance streaming

4) Cry of the City (1948, Robert Siodmak) at Noir City.

My fave of the films I was able to catch at the various festivals here throughout the SF Bay, though for top experience I was grateful to finally get to the Castro Theatre for two SF Silent Film screenings before Another Planet changes the seats...

5) The Blazing Sun (Siraa Fil-Wadi) (1954, Youssef Chahine)

screencap found here

6) There is No Evil (Sheytân vojūd nadârad)

(2020, Mohammad Rasoulof)

The "Bella ciao" scene alone is iconic! Yet it is just one moment within a devastating and strident cinematic statement.

7) And Then We Danced (Da chven vitsek'vet)

(2019, Levan Akin)

If you have had any rigorous dance training, you can tell how good this film is- down in the details, telling story through movement.

8) Journey to Epcot Center: A Symphonic History

(2023, Defunctland/Kevin Perjurer)

screencap found here

I SUPPORT KEVIN IN ALL HIS ENDEAVORS

9) Baticano (2023, Stillz)

Imagine my surprise when I turn my TV and one of the best modern homages to German Expressionism and 30's-50's Western studio horror, starring Bad Bunny as Nosferatu and Steve Buscemi as a "mad scientist." The depths of the black parts of the screen alone... pure! black! contrast! Not the telltale flat digital black-gray!

Benito may be no Max Schreck, but Stillz was on a roll for the rapper's videos last year, and now I feel less... embarrassed? that I was repeatedly hypnotized by the hyper-Coachella vibes of the "Where She Goes" video... Stillz has skills.

Or at least knows how to shoot what I like.

Runners-up are many, but I want to highlight:

a) a small but solid run of horror viewing in October, from the adrenaline of As Above So Below to all the subtext James Whale snuck into The Old Dark House. Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde should be counted as one of the best Hammer horrors imo. On the borders of the horror were Mother Joan of the Angels, La Llorona, and the more witchy fantasy The Five Devils.

b) sidestep into Indonesia with May the Devil Take You, which may not be at the tip top levels of Impetigore but still a uniquely wild ride. Headshot sets standards on the action side, and you can definitely spot Gareth Evans' Indonesian industry training in his English folk-action-horror foray Apostle.
