Film Review (Vassilis Kroustallis)

It looks as paper-thin and charming and light as its soundtrack. Yet, Airmail by Isabelle Favez, with its chain of communication via animals, pipes and birds, looks like a well-oiled clock ready to fire on time - or better, like the hourglass figure of its female character, now patiently waiting for events to take their toll. Indirect, non-physical interaction is something the whole planet has now been used to in pandemic times; Favez makes it streamlined, funnily complicated, and attractive.
