Michel Lipkes

“It’s hard to be solitary in a big city, you see everything circulating en masse, everyone productive, but you’re alone. It’s almost as if this abandonment is built into the social organization.”

    MALAVENTURA

    MICHEL LIPKES Mexico, 2011

    With a patient, 9-minute opening shot Malaventura starts as it means to continue: this slice-of-life, minimalist drama situates its protagonist in their everyday urban environment and asks us not to look away. An excellent debut from Michel Lipkes, an impressively sobering, existential experience.
