On November 23, 2024, the festival Freeze staged a late-autumn collision of mood, memory, and motion: a program built around Clémence Audiard’s steady, uncompromising gaze on urban solitude, a revisitation of Taxi Driver’s electric moral vertigo, and an undercurrent—thick and stubborn—of what it might mean to be “better” in a world that insists otherwise. The evening felt less like a screening and more like a diagnostic: a close-reading of the frayed ethics of modern life, scored in neon, cigarette ash, and sudden generosity. freeze 23 11 24 clemence audiard taxi driver xx better
On November 23, 2024, the better Taxi Driver will not be a remake. It will be the moment a young female director presses pause on the old one, turns to her cast, and says, “He thought the city was a sewer. We know it’s just a car. And we have the keys.” November 14, 2023 (United States) United States
Setting the stage: cold city, hotter nerves Freeze’s curators grouped works that are city-born and city-scarred. The festival space itself—air cool, lights subdued—primed the audience to receive images as symptoms rather than entertainment. Where many festivals sell glamour, Freeze trades in discomfort: the kind of cinema that doesn’t console, it interrogates. Freeze
