  – Robert Pattinson‘s jiggly ass /10
  – This film shows once again that Hollywood, even without the Hays Code, is still incapable of making truly good films. The only thing coming out of this godforsaken hell hole are scripts written, rewritten, directed and censored by market dynamics and profit requirements. The potential sex scenes involving two Robert Pattinsons were limitless – dare I say, utopian. This could have been, perhaps, the greatest film ever made ... yes, there are seedlings…

  — character psychology was a mistake and so was film school, apparently.

  Unrest 2022

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 08 Jan 2023

  - Unrueh constitutes a truly magnificent example of decentralised historiography. There are no protagonists, in the classical sense. If anything, the town, it’s factories and the many people living and working within it constitute what you could call a collective protagonism (if you were pretentious). In the Q&A Schäublin mentioned their debates regarding the question of how to represent history.

  Grand Jete 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Feb 2022 2

  — A tale of mother and son, either too far or too close, unable to strike a healthy balance.
  — Unfair. This has everything I love in film (explicit incest sex scenes).
  — Telling more by showing less. A lot of shots in the film only show parts of bodies: backs, hands, penises. By leaving semantic gaps, the film allows for a great degree of polysemy. The viewer is left to extrapolate a body, a movement, a person from those small segments or semantic anchors. 
  — Pimples. Redness. Blemishes. In long, uninterrupted closeups. Very physical.
