As a former London constable, Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.

Starts as hilarious comedy, then gets weirder and weirder to the point where it enters the absurd territory. All of it done in such class that it’s only to the…

Forty-year-old Andreas arrives in a strange city with no memory of how he got there. He is presented with a job, an apartment – even a wife. But before long, Andreas notices that something is wrong. Andreas makes an attempt to escape the city, but he discovers there’s no way out. Andreas meets Hugo, who has found a crack in a wall in his cellar. Beautiful music streams out from the crack. Maybe it leads […]

A heavily philosophical black comedy. You still with me? OK. Shown in a cold Scandinavian style and slow pace, this might be boring, but it’s all about style and idea.…

We had a smart and a bit weird Christianity teacher, who played this movie during a lesson. Technically, we were just old enough to watch it and should have been…

I was quite young when I saw this in a cinema. Expected an adventure, got a serious drama instead, but even then, I didn’t regret for seeing this movie. I…

Harold Crick is a lonely IRS agent whose mundane existence is transformed when he hears a mysterious voice narrating his life.

Just like Uncut Gems with Sandler, this is the only movie with Ferrell I loved. It’s well-acted, not empty and has a successful mix of genres that not many movies…

Comedy, Drama

A family loaded with quirky, colorful characters piles into an old van and road trips to California for little Olive to compete in a beauty pageant.

Might be the best family movie I’ve ever seen. Technically, the plot reminds of the weekend’s morning movies, but there’s much more going on here. Seems like the directors and…

A master class on how to make an interesting crime movie. It reminds of The Usual Suspects, but it’s too good to care about this. Many crime movies are considered…

In “Box” a soft spoken young woman has a bizarre recurring nightmare about being buried in a box in the snow. Searching for her long lost sister, she realizes her dreams and reality may […]

An eye-opening cinema that sums up the Asian horror and does it with style. The first movie is just good while the other two absorbed me with an outstanding cinematography…

Drama

Stockholm, the fifties. Though academically bright, violent pupil Erik Ponti is expelled from his state school with the headmaster’s words “there’s only one word for people like you – evil… what you need is a good thrashing, and more”. In fact already Erik frequently receives a ‘good’ thrashing at the hands of his sadistic stepfather – so he is packed off by his mother to boardingschool

A very serious Scandinavian cinema. Young actors perfectly create the atmosphere, and even it’s a sad film, the time passes without noticing. It’s also an effectively provocative movie. I felt…
