What’s Streaming
LANDLESS (2019) Stream on Mubi. This summer, Mubi has been featuring movies from both up-and-coming and established Brazilian filmmakers as part of its New Brazilian Cinema series, including Camila Freitas, who directed this documentary. The film focuses on a faction of the country’s Landless Workers’ Movement, a land reform group. Freitas chronicled its activities over four years while members occupied land owned by a sugar cane processing plant that had filed for bankruptcy. As its members work the land and discuss utopian solutions for a better future, the film offers an inside look at activists that Brazil’s right-wing president, Jair Bolsonaro, has likened to a terrorist organization.
STREET FOOD: LATIN AMERICA Stream on Netflix. After spending its first season exploring the food carts and stalls of Asia, this series, from the creators of “Chef’s Table,” heads south to Latin America. Each of the series’ six episodes will travel to a different country — from Mexico to Argentina and Bolivia — to explore its unique culture of street food and to meet the interesting characters who serve it.
DIRT MUSIC (2019) Rent or buy on iTunes, Vudu and other streaming platforms and pay TV operators. This film, based on Tim Winton’s book of the same name, may appear to be a love story between two people adrift: Lu (Garrett Hedlund), a former musician mourning a tragedy, and Georgie (Kelly Macdonald), a woman unhappy in her relationship with a wealthy fisherman. But as the film progresses, more details about Lu and Georgie’s histories are revealed, and the film shifts its focus to a story of grief and survival. In her review for The New York Times, Jeannette Catsoulis wrote that the director Gregor Jordan’s “infatuation with his setting, the stunning coastline of Western Australia (adoringly photographed by Sam Chiplin), is by far the most resonant emotion onscreen.”
