Left by her husband, Elisabeth finds herself alone, responsible for the day-to-day care of her two children.

Films by auteurs Claire Denis, Hong Sangsoo and Rithy Panh are part of the lineup in competition at the 72nd Berlin Film Festival.
Berlin’s 2022 selection spans 18 movies, seven directed by women, which will compete for the Golden and Silver Bears. The films originate from 15 countries, with 17 serving as world premieres. Two of the films are first features, both from women.
Artistic director Carlo Chatrian discussed the thematic throughline of “human and emotional bonds” across the selection, with the family unit serving as a key focal point in a number of movies. More than half are set in the present time, and two are within the pandemic era.
The festival hosts 12 returning filmmakers, eight of whom are in competition and five of whom already hold a Bear from Berlin.
The festival will go ahead as an in-person event, albeit with seating capacity in movie theaters reduced to 50% and without any parties or receptions.

Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Fatal Assistance (2013) is showing November 28 - December 28 and Murder in Pacot (2014) is showing November 29 - December 29, 2017 in the United Kingdom as part of the series Build It Better: Two Films By Raoul Peck.For all the glowing rhetoric about democratization, self-help, social capital, and strengthening of civil society, the actual power relations in this new Ngo universe resemble nothing so much as traditional clientelism. Moreover, like the community organizations patronized by the War on Poverty in the 1960s, Third World NGOs have proven brilliant at coopting local leadership as well as hegemonizing the social space traditionally occupied by the Left.—Mike Davis, Planet of Slums “J’aide.” —Alex, Murder in PacotThere’s a dead boy under the rubble and a wretched smell in the air.

In the case of Héléna (Annabelle Hettmann) and Benoît (Thibault Vinçon), they decide that attraction to each other's external features is not quite enough; they want to delve deeper into each other, and not metaphorically either. They literally want to peruse each other's innards, bones, muscles, organs, every nook and cranny.

Héléna and Benoît meet while Héléna is getting x-rays in an attempt to diagnose a lower back pain.
