I should root for Brave New Love, as apparently it's a Danish production, but Maria Bäck is Swedish, so... High hopes for Le Bao. His 'Taste' is on MUBI, very interesting.

Oooh!

Taste has been on my Mubi watchlist for some time... during a period of seriously intermittent membership. Will endeavour to see it now that I'm back.

At a glance, I may only have encountered Hong Sang-soo and Florin Șerban from the contenders!? I recall the latter's If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle amongst lower-tier Romanian new wave-associated fodder back in the day.

Ah, Giovanni Tortorici was the Diciannove chap, a couple of years ago. That was okay IMHO, in that meandering Italian way. Though not mind-blowing.
