By refusing to elevate "change" as automatically superior to "stagnation," In Transit resists the typical, glossy "coming-of-age" or "follow your dreams" narrative trope.

Hasta las obras artísticas a priori encaminadas a sectores concretos caen en clichés para agradar a una parte del público, profesional o casual. Se busca un retorno, lucrativo o que prestigie, para ir tirando.
De ahí que producciones audiovisuales independientes caigan en dejes comunes buscando gustar en un segmento de la audiencia y/o en jurados de festivales, el esterotipo de las películas Sundance, por detectable, sería el ejemplo fácil.
El audiovisual es un arte en general caro y complicado de costear, y del amor al arte no se vive. Se necesita un retorno mínimo, pecuniario o social, para rodar la siguiente.
La ópera prima de Julia de Castro, On the Go, ya en plataformas, está hecha por el gusto de experimentar, desde el amor al arte que homenajea un cine hoy desprolijo, incluso en el indie, referenciando al indomable Gonzalo García Pelayo.
Un placer que obedece a la necesidad artística, al gasto.
Esta descarada (el mejor adjetivo) road movie barra buddy movie, rodada en 4:3 y con una duración súper indie de apenas una hora, presenta a personajes perdidos, sin prisa, distrayendo la mente por los caminos arenosos y dorados del sur y sus embrujos oníricos donde la música fusión siempre está on.
Sin argumento férreo, comprometida solo con el mundito que crea (<<Todo va de ti, ¿no?>>), la cinta, de bellas actuaciones naturalistas por parte de Ayuso y de Castro, ofrece amistades tan inefables como irrompibles, apariciones de extraños que no lo parecen, desnudos, introspección, con una lógica propia tal cual ocurría con Dorothy durante el tránsito por el empedrado amarillo.
Si te empapas del duende del maestro García Pelayo debe ser sin salvavidas. Como estos personajes sin mapa que no renuncian al futuro sino que se mueven para encontrarse, para madurar, y que aun careciendo de brújula se tienen mutuamente.

"In celebration of what would have been his hundredth birthday, the Criterion Channel is currently featuring an extensive series of films by maverick auteur Robert Altman, who became so renowned in the 1970s that the term “Altmanesque” got bandied about regularly among critics and cinephiles. According to The Big Picture’s Sean Fennessey, whose video essay on Altman accompanies the Criterion series, “Altmanesque” refers to “the subversion of all expected modes in narrative storytelling — in genre, in filmmaking style, in performance.”
And for a director with a tendency toward “the undoing of everything we expect from a Hollywood movie,” Altman had an incredibly robust Hollywood career. His idiosyncratic approach to filmmaking treated the script as a “diagram” that provided loose guidelines but need not be adhered to while going through the process of “actors finding character and story finding itself.” In keeping with an approach that was virtually designed to oppose classical Hollywood production practices and drive producers and studio executives crazy, he favored intensive collaboration with actors.
Altman loved actors, and they almost uniformly adored him. He not only recruited great talent for film, such as Shelley Duvall, Lily Tomlin, and almost the entire supporting cast of M*A*S*H, whom he drafted from the American Conservatory Theater (ACT) in San Francisco, but also guided such favorites as Duvall and Elliott Gould to repeated flights of idiosyncratic brilliance."

Nearly three decades after Clerks, Kevin Smith went back to the well. Clerks III is nostalgic, uneven, and deeply personal — but does that make it good? I revisit Dante and Randal's final chapter with cautious affection and some hard truths.

"The end of 2024 was the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, so a fine time for a “century so far” list. This is meant only to take stock of my thoughts at a moment in time, and not to be definitive; I think we should make and remake these sorts of lists and think of them as part of a conversation about the body of work we collectively value, rather than ever seeking anything authoritative. I’m currently (re)watching a bunch of mid to late period Godard, so if I made this a month from now more of those may be on here, or Goodbye to Language could be #1. I’ve still never seen Jacobs’s Star Spangled to Death, or Kubelka’s Poetry and Truth, or thousands of other films I may fall in love with in the future. Who knows? It’s fine.
Obviously I didn’t limit myself to one film per artist, or impose any other firm rules. I did try to limit artist repeats to films that are either very different from the artist’s other entries or so exceptional I felt they needed to be on here. There are half a dozen films each by Dorksy, Hutton, Mack, Everson, Benning that I could’ve included, but I wanted the choices to say something more than “this is a great film.”
No blurbs for now, because I don’t have time to write that many, but I’ve written about several of these previously: on Oxhide II for OVID.tv, on Ernie Gehr’s digital works and on Nour Ouayda for Ultra Dogme, on the two Ewelina Rosinska films for Tone Glow’s First Look coverage, on Condor in a piece on Kevin Jerome Everson’s Celestial films, on the Joost Rekveld for my coverage on this substack of Light Matter 2023, on ALLENSWORTH for Berlinale 2023 coverage, and on several others for a feature on avant-garde horror."

I love Tom DiCillo's "Living in oblivion". Loved it when I first watched it, back when it was released, and loved it when I watched it again, recently. And now DiCillo's released a hi-res version of its trailer (according to him, the only available was a copy of a copy of a VHS). Enjoy:
