Another languid watch, Bearcave is a Greek drama about a couple who are not really together and then for most of the film are very definitely apart. Anneta and Argyro seem to have a secret relationship and when the former announces she is pregnant by her boyfriend, that seems to be that. But as the film unspools from different POVs, it seems Anneta is not happy with her decision. The cinematography is great, with zoom shots of mountains and a cool sequence at a theme park, but it goes on a bit. And I did not really understand Anneta's decisions and her treatment of Argyro. The actor's performance very much made her seem untrustworthy. And there is a very confusing set of events related to pregnancy. Still, I now know about nettle pie.
Final shorts: Spiders on My Lashline is quite dramatic, as an exotic dancer stumbles into a church and then has flashbacks. There is some kind of revenge plot but I was not clear if it was real or fantasy. Saints is a dreamy Italian film in which two girls share a kiss while preparing for a religious event that involves one of them flying as an angel. Beautifully shot but the finale is underwhelming. Nest also features teens prepping for a ceremony with lots of gossip and chat and a stain on a dress. It felt like a proof of concept film.
