最後織人
In the heyday of the jute industry, millions of people in Bengal made their living doing this laborious work, which has hardly changed since the industrial revolution. The 100-year-old machinery has been endlessly repaired. State aid kept this sustainable alternative to plastic going, but its future looks bleak.
In beautifully composed shots, Nishtha Jain (Gulabi Gang [2012], Lakshmi and Me [2007]) shows the last vestiges of the industry. She follows the entire production chain, from cutting and drying the reed along the river to weaving in two of the biggest mills in the area. Along endless rows of antique looms, the air thick with dusty fibers, workers carry out their routine work. Accidents and jammed machines are commonplace; workers’ faces reveal the exhaustion of a lifetime of labour.
Meanwhile, the union is fighting for a minimum wage equivalent to 250 US dollars a month. During their break, the workers speak out. “Nowadays nobody cares about quality, just more production,” says one. Not long afterwards, one of the mills closes its doors after more than a hundred years.

Prime Minister (2025) 豆瓣

A view inside the life of former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, capturing her through five tumultuous years in power and beyond as she redefined leadership on the world stage.
Jacinda Ardern’s outlook is summarized by a quote from her childhood hero, Sir Ernest Shackleton: “Optimism is true moral courage.” She reluctantly took on what she called “the worst job in politics” and led with humanity, compassion, and common sense. Ardern guided her country through the pandemic by relying on science and risked her popularity by reforming gun laws and stepping down earlier than expected.
Co-directors Michelle Walshe and Lindsay Utz craft an intimate portrait of Ardern’s journey, featuring footage shot by her husband and classified audio interviews recorded while she was prime minister. As only the second head of state in the world to give birth in office, she faced relentless ridicule but left office saddened rather than hardened.
Prime Minister is much like Ardern herself: eloquent, compassionate, funny, and inspiring.

在天眼尚未密布,监场保安仍会打瞌睡的二十世纪七十年代,名画大盗就是会光天化日,大剌剌走进美术馆,直接把猎物从墙上取下放入布袋运走。看似儿戏的一切,背后主谋还要是住在市郊、人畜无害的住家男人。凯莉·莱卡特完全弃用好莱坞盗宝片叙事公式,改以其擅长的左翼简约主义镜头,捕捉触犯艺术罪行者的日常生活、双面人的言行处境,以及事件周遭人情冷暖。阿瑟多夫的抽象画作未必是一个借口,但到头来凸显存在荒谬的公路逃亡,俨然为观众添加了不少欣赏和思考的层次。
