    The Last Showgirl

    ★★½

    A very sad but beautifully shot film that is solidly acted. Yet, I can't oversee the fact that the film suffers from a certain lack of focus and doesn't seem to find its footing in the structure.

    For what it's worth, I still enjoyed the experience of this very loose and somewhat aimless film, paretically because the element of aimlessness was crucial to the characters, story and plot.

    A Serbian Film

    ★★★

    This is a very fascinating and tragic film.
    It serves as a perfect example for what happens when a director (when an entire nation!) is so deeply hurt, frustrated and scarred but doesn't know how to properly release all these emotions and then just implodes and explodes at the same time. The result is a tamper tantrum if I've ever seen one. A tragic tamper tantrum which is a cry for help in disguise. But it is also a justified…

    Prior to seeing "BACK TO BLACK" I watched the OSCAR- award-winning documentary "AMY" (2015) by Asif Kapadia, as it was exclusively screened at a cinema in my city.
    So I did a double-feature and went to watch "BACK TO BLACK" just 3 hours after I saw "AMY" on the big screen.

    "AMY" is a heavy and touching documentary.

    "BACK TO BLACK" is watering down and altering the events to such an extent, that I had a very bad taste in…

    ★★★★

    German film has to face many clichés and is faced with criticism of bad writing, bland storytelling, awful acting, ever-repeating plots and the fear of not taking risks. And very rightfully so.

    But, every now and then, there's a small diament hidden in the filth.
    Such diamnts are PELIKAN BLUT, SCHALF, DAS LEHRERZIMMER only to name a few.

    That Diament of 2024 is called HUNDSWUT.
    And on top of all that, HUNDSWUT is entirely shot in Bavarian!
    The best thing…
