I can't help but crying every time I'm seeing this one. It's rare a fiction really engages me that much. The way it talks about people that society, or a so-called community, tends to exclude. People who are marginalized and dismissed as if they are mad, despite the fact that their sensitivity & soul are far more vivid. It reminds us to care about others on an emotional level and that it's rather the world - and not those marginalized people - that is not running smoothly.

Through the intertwining of personal thoughts—sometimes controversial, sometimes sensitive, sometimes problematic, sometimes genuine—the film manages to capture the inner feelings of the protagonists at a given moment in the form of a moving photograph. Political and human, plastic, and with a particularly memorable visual approach, the film, rooted in an unsettled everyday life, offers an overview of a moment where everything can shift—as capable of shaping the future as vanishing in an instant.

The Oasis I Deserve Inès Sieulle Frankrijk 2024 22’
Common Pear Gregor Božič Slovenië, Verenigd Koninkrijk 2025 15’

Deeply rooted in the real world—pointing out personal, environmental and therefore political matters—yet creating its own and unique dystopian tale by blending fiction into documentary (something that is sometimes tricky to me and can lead to way too staged approaches), Common Pear is a smooth and honest journey that cares equally about the cinematographic medium and those who inhabit the film.
