The last film I want to post about today is also my favorite of the bunch. It's a film from Samoa titled The Orator. Immediately from the get-go, I was hesitant about this film because it seemed like it was going to be preachy festival-bait, seeing as it's about a midget from Samoa, but the film quickly won me over. You could replace the midget with a cowardly, weak man and nothing about the film would really change. It's not so much about him being a midget, but him being a coward who is afraid to fight to save his land and his family. While the other two were fairly slow films, this one has very little dialogue at all until the final speeches at the end, and that with again more gorgeous cinematography made for a very engaging watch for me. I could see some people being bored by it, but I really liked it, and felt it had a very satisfying end. 8/10
