Another Day of Life
2018 Adults 85 min
by Raúl de la Fuente, Damian Nenow
An official Cannes selection and winner of festival prizes and awards worldwide, ANOTHER DAY OF LIFE is a daringly ambitious dive into the chaos of war, based on the book by the journalist Ryszard “Ricardo” Kapuściński, one of the world’s most compelling chroniclers of conflict. Intercutting a graphically bold animation style with interviews and archival footage, the visually striking film conveys a rare immediacy as it tells of the outbreak of civil war following Angola’s independence from Portugal in 1975. Against all advice, Kapuściński is intent on driving south into the heart of the bloody conflict to find the isolated rebel leader Farrusco. His animated trip through corpse-strewn roads conveys an undeniable urgency, while the documentary testimony reminds us that we are watching actual history.

Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles: it sounds like one of the adventures of Tintin, and that’s maybe not a million miles away from this animated film based on a graphic novel about the life of the famous surrealist. Salvador Símo and Manolo Galiana paint a portrait of the director during the 1930s; with his friend and patron Ramón Acín, Buñuel is working on the shooting of Las Hurdes, a ‘documentary’ about the inhabitants of the most poverty-stricken place in Spain.
