In April, I had the chance to celebrate my birthday in China by watching Bergers (2024) by Sophie Deraspe at the Beijing International Film Festival. I was particularly drawn to the synopsis: a main character who wishes to leave his urban lifestyle behind in pursuit of a more bucolic existence. I wrote this comment after seeing the film in the cinema. It was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend seeing it tomorrow evening at the Théâtre de Verdure.
