Where to Watch Wishing on a Star
- hairydemonJune 7, 2025an astounding and beautifully executed story of an astrologer and her clients as they search for happiness. A 'docu-drama' which is so mysterious in how it was made. How did the director pull that off! To quote Peter Kerekes - My father was a film director so from the age of twelve I knew that I wanted to make films. I dreamt of creating an “Italian” film filled with passionate love, strong emotions, humor, and Vespa motorcycles. However, there was a catch. I am not Italian, I don’t understand the language, and I have a melancholic Hungarian character combined with an ironic sense of humor. " A gorgeous and hilarious and charming work of art, which has no visible distribution. A depressing state of affairs in film today. This film should be in cinemas around the world, not confined to elite festivals.
