If a filmmaker falls while filming, should a critic cast a view? @filmfest_ca hopes that Mantas Kvedaravičius's MARIUPOLIS 2, presented at #Cannes2022 mere weeks after the director's death, inspires viewers to celebrate his 2016 film instead. https://povmagazine.com/mariupolis-2-review-fragments-of-a-film/
