Comedy, Science Fiction

80’s pop icon Gilles Gabriel is about to make a comeback in the French music scene, until he accidentally hits Ranu, a slightly nutty accountant, when out driving one day. Both are horrified to realise that Gilles died in the crash, and that his spirit now lives in Ranu’s head! The kooky accountant’s life soon becomes chaos!

Modern cinema where the Frenchmen exceeded the bounds of their typical movies. It could be said that the main actor did most of the work, but I always like to…

Thriller, Science Fiction, Drama

A seductive alien prowls the streets of Glasgow in search of prey: unsuspecting men who fall under her spell.

The more I think of it, the better it is. The director chose a plain domestic style that tests your patience, but then absolutely pays off. The movie is originally…

Drama, Thriller, Mystery

A young man travels to an isolated farm for his lover’s funeral where he’s quickly drawn into a twisted, sexually charged game by his lover’s aggressive brother.

Another successful choice during the Spring movie festival. The trailer interested me, so I gave it a go and didn’t regret. Solid European drama, great camera work and acting.

Drama

A man named Seligman finds a fainted wounded woman in an alley and he brings her home. She tells him that her name is Joe and that she is nymphomaniac. Joe tells her life and sexual experiences with hundreds of men since she was a young teenager while Seligman tells about his hobbies, such as fly fishing, reading about Fibonacci numbers or listening to organ music.

Von Trier wanted to make this a 5 hour long movie, but had to split it. Such a commitment to the topic of nymphomania. But what he got is rather…

A depressed musician reunites with his lover in the desolate streets of Detroit. Though their romance has endured several centuries, it is tested by the arrival of her capricious and unpredictable younger sister.

Stylish vampire romance story told in a creative and not cheesy way. The movie once again shows Jarmusch’s exceptional taste in music.

Based on the classic novel by Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game is the story of the Earth’s most gifted children training to defend their homeplanet in the space wars of the future.

One of these movies, accidentally seen on TV. It’s clever, emotional, well-acted (especially the kid), and has an amazing melancholic animation scene.

After India’s father dies, her Uncle Charlie, who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her unstable mother. She comes to suspect this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives and becomes increasingly infatuated with him.

I’ve always liked Chan Wook Park’s films. Mostly, for the cinematography – there are master directors in his league, but I haven’t seen the better ones. This movie is no…

When 19-year-old Adam agrees to do a day’s driving for his mum’s gangster boyfriend Peter, it takes him on a 24-hour journey into a nightmarish world of murder, sex trafficking and revenge, in the company of aging hit man Roy.

Something different than lots of the movies baked in the Hollywood’s kitchen. It doesn’t have a mind-blowing scenario or idea, but it’s fresh and keeps you watching. I enjoyed the…

In an alternate universe where twinned worlds have opposite gravities, a young man battles interplanetary prejudice and the laws of physics in his quest to reunite with the long-lost girl of his dreams in this visually stunning romantic adventure that poses the question: what if love was stronger than gravity?

A romance in an upside down world. I enjoyed cinematography and idea in this one. If only this movie would be a little more polished, I’d have given it the…

A new drug promises out-of-body experiences, but users are coming back changed forever, and an otherworldly invasion of Earth is underway.

Just like the title, this movie is hilarious and great. The best thing is how they keep stupid faces no matter what, but never crosses the line into the stupid…
