The March edition of Cinematic Favorites encompasses ten films - five shorts and five features one of which is a weirdo blast from the past. The greatest viewing experience was provided by Rouzbeh Rashidi's latest offering, Luminous Void: Docudrama, which I described as 'a beautiful, genre-defying (and genre-redefining) chimera' in my pre-premiere review, with Ihor Podolchak's feverish cine-dream Las Meninas and Johnny Clyde's ambiguous eco-fairy tale Floralis coming very close to blowing my mind, so to speak. An honorable mention goes to the Love Death + Robots series, for being one of the b(old)est animated experiments in recent memory. Without further ado, here's the top 10 list.
1. Luminous Void: Docudrama (Rouzbeh Rashidi, 2019)
2. Las Meninas (Ihor Podolchak, 2013)
3. Floralis (Johnny Clyde, 2019)
4. Jonaki (Aditya Vikram Sengupta, 2018)
5. The Safe Zone (Murat Sayginer, 2019)
6. NEKO-MIMI (Jun Kurosawa, 1993)
7. And What Is the Summer Saying? (Payal Kapadia, 2018)
8. Out of Our Minds (Tony Stone, 2009)
9. Lowlife (Ryan Prows, 2017)
10. Cherry Blossom (Sarahjane Swan & Roger Simian, 2019)
