Brazilian filmmaker Rafael Toledo brings the danger back to cinephilia in the brilliantly black BLOCKBUSTER, the twisted tale of an aspiring director (Luiz Gomide) quite understandably obsessed with old school practical effects. Determined to work with them himself, despite operating on meagre means and shooting with a crew of precisely one, he decides to blow up a nearby building for footage in his next film. – Mitch Davis
