Luzzu 2021
Beautifully made. The central character, Jesmark, does not need to say much to convey how he feels about his work as a fisherman, and how it connects with his identity and family history. When this is threatened, it's devastating. With irl fishermen notably among the cast (including Jesmark himself), this is an impressive directorial debut from Alex Camilleri. It also paints a compelling picture of Malta today and the tensions between traditions and heritage, on the one hand, and capitalistic 'progress' on the other.

The Great Happiness Space: Tale of an Osaka Love Thief 2006

Some find it depressing. I don't. But in all those neverending drunken nights, I see a relatable yearning.
