Critics and crowds don’t always see eye to eye. The Oscars nominees rarely match that year’s box office champions. That’s to be expected but in theory, critics should be guiding audiences to the best of the best films. And, of course, steering them clear of the worst. There’s something else happening in the cultural landscape …

"Try to write a song about how you feel." GKids has revealed the main official US trailer for an acclaimed Japanese anime film titled The Colors Within, the latest creation from filmmaker Naoko Yamada. She is one of the few female Japanese anime filmmakers and her last two films were A Silent Voice and Liz and the Blue Bird. In this new film, a girl who can see colors in people's hearts joins a band with two other people. The synesthete Totsuko can see others as colors.

It's the latest cinematic creation from artsy, talented Argentinian filmmaker Luis Ortega, already known for his other films Damn Summer, Lulu, and El Angel previously. The film is premiering in the Main Competition at Venice – within the first 15 minutes after the screening began, I knew why they picked this film to play in this prestigious section at the festival. It really is a fantastic film, with complex filmmaking, slick storytelling and vivid pacing, and a very precise, clean style. It's also an impressive 97 minutes (which in Venice is refreshing because almost everything else is 2 to 3 hours long), never overstaying its welcome and moving along at such a swift pace it almost feels like they're leaving out major moments of this story. But that's actually part of what makes it potent - the taut, minimalistic narrative keeps it fascinating, you really have to keep up to ...
