The Mental State - BLU-RAY

Nanni Moretti recounts three entries from his InchdiaryInch in the hilarious and intimate self-reflective comedy Caro diario, which follows the filmmaker's musing on cinema atop a Vespa, a trip to the Aeolian Islands to work on his new screenplay, and his search for health and wellness after breaking out in a nagging skin rash. Winner of Best Director at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, Caro diario is a Inchheroic tale, told with a child's wide-eyed wonderInch (Film Comment) from a Inchmodern movie man, for whom images have effaced the boundary between life and artInch (The New Yorker).

Industrialist Cornelis van Doorn (Kees Brusse) got so filthy rich because he wasted nothing... as demonstrated by how he turned the animal hormone waste from his slaughterhouses into a side business of birth control pills. The time came, though, when he had to choose a successor from amongst his kids, legitimate or otherwise-and the only competent candidate (Rudolf Lucieer) was cursed with ethics. Sexy satire co-stars Andrea Domburg, Hugo Metsers, Sonja Barend. 107 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack Dutch; Subtitles English; audio commentary; bonus short InchFestival of LoveInch (1969); image gallery; theatrical trailers. In Dutch with English subtitles.

Disillusioned and adrift, gigging guitarist Noah quits the band of his '90s pop icon mentor and returns to his mother's home in Sydney, searching for connection and a sense of belonging. Old wounds resurface, leaving him restless and longing for something more. He finds it in Finn, a vibrant young trans man who communicates only in Auslan and runs a local center and nightclub for the Deaf community. Through music and sign, the two form an intimate bond, each sharing their world with the other. As Finn begins his own journey of self-discovery, caught between his father's overprotection and the financial struggles of the club, Noah steps in to help. But with no shared language to fall back on, their deepening connection is as fragile as it is profound. Together, they must navigate love, identity, and the courage to be truly seen.
