Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Fabrizio Ferraro's Les Unwanted de Europa (2018) is exclusively showing January 28 – February 26, 2019 as part of the retrospective Direct from Rotterdam.Fabrizio Ferraro’s Les Unwanted de Europa opens with brief prologue of 16mm footage taken from the Institut Jean Vigo’s 2015 DVD “Filmer en bord de mer: Le littoral du Languedoc et du Roussillon,” a compilation of amateur, corporate, and institutional films rescued from the attics and archives of various privately held collections. This opening, comprised of some rather idyllic landscape imagery of the Southeastern Pyrenees and nearby Mediterranean coast, sets the quiet, contemplative tone for the forthcoming film. Accompanied by little more than the faint, non-diegetic sound of footsteps, the footage, shot in warm, autumnal hues, is tranquil and evocative of a bygone early-to-midcentury milieu where horses shared the roads with cars and farmers proudly worked the hillsides by hand.

Knight And Day (12A)
(James Mangold, 2010, Us) Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Peter Sarsgaard. 109 mins
Tropic Thunder proved that Cruise could laugh at himself, but despite a hint of self-parodying craziness here, we're not necessarily laughing with him this time. Never one to pass up an alpha-male role, Cruise plays an indestructible rogue superspy in this Grazia-friendly action comedy, co-opting civilian Diaz into a series of tense situations, most of which we never see them getting out of; he simply drugs her and she wakes up somewhere else when it's all over, in a different set of clothes. Who says romance is dead? He's supposed to be Bourne with a smile but he's more like the Milk Tray man as an international date rapist.
Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky (15)
(Jan Kounen, 2009, Fra) Anna Mouglalis, Mads Mikkelsen, Yelena Morozova. 119 mins
Almost a sequel to Audrey Tautou's Coco Before Chanel, this sketches out...
