‘November’ Review: Gothic Love Triangle In Estonia Is “Stunningly Beautiful”

June 18, 2020

November (2017 — streaming on Shudder, Vudu, Kanopy), directed by Rainer Sarnet, is a stunningly beautiful, maddeningly obtuse, sometimes funny, dark Estonian folk tale. The story revolves around Lina (Rea Lest) and Hans (Jorgen Liik), two peasants trying to survive a harsh winter and threatening plague by any means necessary. Lina has eyes for Hans, but Hans’ gaze has been captured by Baroness (Jette Loona Hermanis). All of this may sound like a classic, gothic love triangle, but the presentation is anything but traditional.

In his director’s statement, Dave Franco said that the inspiration behind The Rental lies in his “paranoia about the concept of home-sharing.” The trailer to the horror-thriller is pretty chilling and well put together, so I’m guessing this 88-minute thriller could be something special.

Back in 2016 I was all about Train to Busan and I remember Anderson Cowan and I praising the film on a previous CinemAddicts episode. Its sequel Peninsula (aka Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula) features eye-opening action scenes, so on that note I am very excited.

I gave the proverbial thumbs up to the last two Vertical Entertainment films I checked out (Inheritance and Capone) and Ghosts of War has the makings of an effective thriller. Combining the brutality of World War II and horror is an intriguing mix, the trailer has peaked my interest.

Extra Ordinary, directed by Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman, stands as a charming debut feature film. Set in small-town Ireland, Extra Ordinary centers on Rose (Maeve Higgins) as she is trying to forget her paranormal past. She spent her childhood helping her father on an, apparently popular, paranormal television series. In the process of filming that series, Rose’s father met an untimely end, leaving Rose scared to face that side of her life, opting instead for a humdrum existence as a driving instructor. Maeve Higgins brings a wonderful mix of pathos and wit to her role, grounded in the sense that she has lived for years of loneliness.

Aviva4 — Or Schraiber and Bobbi Jene Smith in "Aviva" (Outsider Pictures)

Director Boaz Yakin’s 1994 feature Fresh still resonates today, and throughout the years Yakin has carved his own path with helming higher profile pictures (Remember the Titans, Max, the Jason Statham headlined Safe) and indie driven projects (Death in Love, Boarding School). Yakin’s lifelong passion for subverting genres as well as pushing himself as an artist has led to Aviva, a new feature that marks his finest moment in cinema. During our extensive conversation, Yakin talked about the creative process behind making his ambitious film.
