One of the best films i have seen

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

"The Birth of Magellan: Cadenza I" is a fairly late effort from the career of American experimental filmmaker Hollis Frampton and once again he pays tribute to the era of silent film in his usual clumsy manner. I cannot say that this 5.5-minute film here seemed memorable to me for whatever reason. It looks as if a young filmmaker is still trying to find his style, but actually the opposite is true. But then again, it is probably not among the very worst Frampton has done, but that is just because his lows were as low as it gets. As for this one here, it lacked creativity to me and I did not find it inspired. Thumbs down.
