A visiting city reporter’s assignment suddenly revolves around the murder trial of a local millionaire, whom he befriends.
Might be the weirdest and finest movie from Eastwood. He trades some of his careful storytelling for mystery, and the result is a great art-house cinema.
A disc jockey, a pimp and an Italian tourist escape from jail in New Orleans.
Not easy to watch, lots of long takes, and at some point – magic. These trademarks of Jarmusch are particularly clear in this movie, which is probably the best of…
King Arthur, accompanied by his squire, recruits his Knights of the Round Table, including Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot and Sir Galahad the Pure. On the way, Arthur battles the Black Knight who, despite having had all his limbs chopped off, insists he can still fight. They reach Camelot, but Arthur decides not to enter, as “it is a silly place”.
I’ve never expected a 1975 movie to look this fresh. It rivals and tops many modern comedies. It’s intelligently stupid and hilarious, which is quite an achievement of the director.…
Jerry, a small-town Minnesota car salesman is bursting at the seams with debt… but he’s got a plan. He’s going to hire two thugs to kidnap his wife in a scheme to collect a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. It’s going to be a snap and nobody’s going to get hurt… until people start dying. Enter Police Chief Marge, a coffee-drinking, parka-wearing – and extremely pregnant – investigator who’ll stop at nothing to get […]
A phenomenally made crime-drama. Every detail is so well thought that I felt like watching the real life rather than a movie. As expected from Coens, soundtrack, cinematography and acting…
In the smog-choked dystopian Los Angeles of 2019, blade runner Rick Deckard is called out of retirement to terminate a quartet of replicants who have escaped to Earth seeking their creator for a way to extend their short life spans.
I didn’t expect it to be this good. It’s clever yet emotional and works on so many levels. The perfect soundtrack, the amazing cyber punk style and the effects are…
On his way to Vienna, American Jesse meets Céline, a student returning to Paris. After long conversations forge a surprising connection between them, Jesse convinces Celine to get off the train with him in Vienna. Since his flight to the U.S. departs the next morning and he has no money for lodging, they wander the city together, taking in the experiences of Vienna and each other.
One of the best romances ever. Different than the formula and, in fact, simpler than that. The whole movie shows simple things in a cute and relaxing way, and the…
Strike is a young city drug pusher under the tutelage of drug lord Rodney Little. When a night manager at a fast-food restaurant is found with four bullets in his body, Strike’s older brother turns himself in as the killer. Det. Rocco Klein doesn’t buy the story, however, setting out to find the truth, and it seems that all the fingers point toward Strike & Rodney.
What a drama should be. Emotional, but not cheesy, and tops many action movies with its intensity.
A man is forced to confront a dangerous female jaguar and his own past through the sacrificial killing of the beast he has grown to love.
One of these nice findings on TV. It’s calm, emotional, just like the story it tells.
During the 1980s, a failed stand-up comedian is driven insane and turns to a life of crime and chaos in Gotham City while becoming an infamous psychopathic crime figure.
OK, the script leaves you wanting more, but I can’t deny how good Phoenix was in this one. Oscar well deserved.
The near future, a time when both hope and hardships drive humanity to look to the stars and beyond. While a mysterious phenomenon menaces to destroy life on planet Earth, astronaut Roy McBride undertakes a mission across the immensity of space and its many perils to uncover the truth about a lost expedition that decades before boldly faced emptiness and silence in search of the unknown.
I see how this movie doesn‘t have a lot of appeal. It‘s slow, atmospheric and depresive. These are not the words many want to hear, but with a right direction…
