    Solaris

    ★★★½

    "And death shall have no dominion.' -Kelvin

    Soderbergh's answer to Lem's 'Solaris' is a solid film with a clear, minimalistic vision but Tarchovsky's version surpasses the 2002-version clearly in the way the philosophical questions are handled and the viewer has to keep guessing.

  • Anora

    Anora

    ★★★★

    "She's just a little girl." -"She doesn't fight like one." -Igor to Toros

    Sad and funny in equal parts and a hell of a performance by Mikey Madison.

  • Marianne and Juliane

    Marianne and Juliane

    ★★★★

    "Ich habe geträumt, ich habe dich befreit." -Juliane

    A film about two sisters, one a jornalist, one active in a terrorist organization, that is loosely based on German RAF's Gudrun Ensslin's story. The film, though quite heavy in subject matter, is able to display a very human look at Juliane's and Marianne's relationship as sisters. Intertwined in their personal relationship is a fascinating examination of German politics and history and the way the "Nachkriegsgeneration" was still deeply traumatized.

    Much Ado About Nothing - Live at Shakespeare's Globe

    ★★★★★

    "Thou and I are too wise to woo peacably." -Benedick

    This is my all-time favourite version of "Much Ado". I never tire of Charlie Edwards' and Eve Best's antics as Benedick and Beatrice.
