CIFF Pick: Voy a explotar (I’m Gonna Explode)
Film festivals are about discovery. Whether it’s Toronto or Telluride or Cleveland, you go there looking for something new, something you never would have encountered without the festival.
Despite making it into some huge film festivals (Berlinale, NYFF), I’m Gonna Explode never crossed my radar until appearing in the CIFF program. Now, it’s vaulted to the top of my must-see list. (Sorry, Goodbye Solo.) It looks like a hipster Badlands. How awesome is that?
I’m Gonna Explode, directed by Gerardo Naranjo, is part of the CIFF’s “Someone to Watch” program and screens on March 24 at 6:50 p.m. and March 25 at 11:30 a.m. Tickets. Here. Now.
