November

About This Movie

So, 'November' is quite the curious piece. It’s a blend of feminist themes wrapped in a thriller format, shot on Super-8 back in the eighties. The film has this raw, gritty texture that really pulls you in. Hito Steyerl's direction feels like a labor of love, honestly. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but that somehow adds to its charm, you know? Andrea Wolf’s performance is striking—she embodies this leather-clad warrior with such intensity. The way they play with exploitation film aesthetics is fascinating, it’s not just about the action; it’s layered with political commentary too. Definitely a unique entry in underground cinema.
