I Am Greta Is More Than an Impassioned Rail. It s the Death of Teenage Innocence.

A 15-year-old girl, the Swedish parliament, and a placard that reads âschool strike for the climateâ. A few seconds ago, the audio and visuals were a stark contrast. The sounds of different men, one after the other, arrogant and authoritative: âThe global warming is a money-making industry; itâs a hoax.â âIt is fake news, fake science.â âCarbon dioxide is actually a benefit to the environment.â

The Sleepwalkers Has Intriguing Subplots but They Don t Produce a Unified Meaning
The Argentinian drama is the story of a mother and a daughter, as well as the story of families. But the film tackles several subplots which do not have a central propulsive force.
A still from The Sleepwalkers .
The 2019 Argentine drama
The Sleepwalkers, now playing at the I-View World film festival, opens to a powerful image. A mother jolting out of sleep, searching for her daughter. She scans the loo and different parts of the house, finally finding her in the living room: an impassive face, a naked body, blood lining her lower legs. The mother, Luisa (Erica Rivas), is worried about her teenage daughter, Ana (Ornella DâElÃa), for two reasons: Sheâs recently started her period, and sheâs a habitual sleepwalker. Luisa knows that this world is unsafe for young girls â especially for her child, who is not in control of her body, even when sheâs sleeping.
