A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
Angola - Victory Is Certain
Recorded during a visit to Angola's liberation movement, the MPLA's eastern front in 1968. The film opens with some Angolans performing a symbolic play about the war. In addition, the military and political training, the guerrillas' contact with the local population, political meetings, etc. are shown. The battle songs, which run throughout the film, are from authentic recordings with guerrilla soldiers.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
