Filmmaker 25 New Faces writer/director Antonio Campos is written up in the New York Times today by Dennis Lim. About his new feature Afterschool, which plays at the New York Film Festival: Afterschool, which Mr. Campos called a “present-day sci-fi film,” wrestles with a strange and relatively new fact of life that we have barely had time to process. We live in a world where, he said, “it

"Afterschool, the debut feature of Antonio Campos, a 25-year-old New Yorker, unfolds in the cloistered environment of an elite boarding school, though it is perhaps more relevant to say that it takes place within the brave new world of...

Like the squawking teachers in a Peanuts holiday special, the boarding school instructors in Antonio Campos's debut, Afterschool , are slyly kept out of the frame (or else made blurry to us) for most of the picture's first half. Then, when Campos finally brings these adults into focus—after two popular seniors fatally overdose in a campus hallway—it is not to humanize them but to show us the hypocrisy...

If I was Nikki Finke, I’d start this headline with a “TOLDJA!”, but I’m too obsessed with search engine optimization for that. So as I predicted, Steven Soderbergh’s Che, which has gone MIA since controversially premiering in a two-part, 4.5 hour cut at Cannes, has made the lineup for the Lincoln Center event. Also of note, [...]

Correction: I was wrong about a thinner crowd at this year's Cannes. At yesterday's screening of a pretentious, portentous bit of mystification titled Afterschool by Antonio Campos (Un Certain Reqard), not a seat went unclaimed in the commodious Debussy theater. I was installed so far left, I effectively saw only half a film throughout. By the end, my eyes had migrated to the left of my face

Afterschool plays like a film student’s demo reel of the various ways to signify “alienation”—shallow depth of field, over-lit sterile interiors, ambient sounds of fluorescent light hums, expressionless actors, methodical tracking shots frequently overrunning or catching up to their...
