MUBI is offering a highly interesting retrospective of the Locarno Film Festival, consisting of a few important titles that have been part of its selection across the years (ranging from Pedro Costa to Pasolini). As one would expect, amongst these films there are also two Swiss films which are both very good. A country with rare, yet unmissable images: it’s as if the Swiss filmmakers would abandon any sort of „maison” neutrality when it comes to the act of filming, wisely choosing their side. Their side is that of images that contain in themselves honorable struggles and characters who are burning on the inside, animated by inextinguishable fires.
