After reading the #NYRB "Shithole Cinema" article (paywalled) a couple of months ago, I was looking forward to #RaduJude's "Kontinental '25". It is now on #BFIPlayer and doesn't disappoint. The disturbing collision between self-regard and real events, and the multiple ways to seek to use others to assuage guilt. After viewing the film, David Ehrlich 's IndieWire review added more appreciation.

#DailyStream: the West Bank we don’t see on the news. Oscar-nominated 2012 doc #5BrokenCameras is a distressing portrait of everyday Palestinian life, where kids’ birthday parties are the same sort of ordinary events as Israeli soldiers arresting children. #Kanopy US, #BFIPlayer UK

#DailyStream: desperate women, desperate measures. Courtney Hunt’s 2008 film #FrozenRiver, with an incredible Melissa Leo, straddles moralities, gender motivations, and ideas of poverty and despair in such a way that you’re not sure, by the end, what’s “right” and what isn’t. #Hulu US, #BFIPlayer UK

Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi’s Oscar-nom'd doc #TheMoleAgent -- about a man who goes undercover in a nursing home to suss out possible abuse -- is an unusual combination of clever and touching. #Hulu #Kanopy US, #BFIPlayer #DogwoofOnDemand UK
