Don't Look Away

Description

Four film critics, including Inês N. Lourenço and Luís Miguel Oliveira, come together to analyze the roots of their cinephilia, aiming to articulate the personal and cultural influences that shaped their passion for cinema. Their discussions reveal various obstacles, including differing opinions and emotional barriers, as they seek to understand what drives their love for films. Throughout the film, the critics share anecdotes and insights that illustrate their diverse backgrounds and experiences with film. This dialogue is complemented by the presence of a director who subtly guides the conversation. As they reflect on significant films and cinematic moments, the critics confront both their shared enthusiasm and their individual perspectives, leading to a deeper examination of how these factors intertwine with their identities as cinephiles.
