Chinatown 1974
It’s a vibe. Hollywood-esque though, classic in characters and roles but a catching thriller. Catching plot, great colors, suspense and wild turns in story, a gritty and dark world filled with noir villains, cool investigators, symbolism on a greedy world and so on.
After seeing The Passenger before I preferred the less dramatic, the less „big cinema“ the calm but catchy vibe of the passenger.
Can’t give it less than 4 though. I can see why people are crazy about this movie. While I’m not, it’s still worth seeing.

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
Die Story startet quasi von 0 auf 100. Nach kurzer Einleitung sind wir mitten in der Action drin und das wörtlich. Eine Actionszene jagt die andere, mit immer absurderen Ausmaßen. Dabei versucht der Film krampfhaft überdreht lustig zu sein (die Protagonistin verprügelt mit riesigen Gummipimmeln Securities in Zeitlupe – ha.ha.ha. – überhaupt, sehr sehr viel Zeitlupe in diesem Film…)
Das was ich bei Rick and Morty schon immer die schwächsten Stories fand – und ja, den Vergleich kann man hier…

Love Liza 2002
The smell of gasoline permeating that slow paced heartwrenching movie. Telling a story of essential loss of a loved one, point zero, going into hibernation, viewing life through a numb filter.
Philip Seymour Hofman really captures that feeling well.
It’s not so much about recovery from trauma but more about exploring the depths of that horrendous feeling.
It doesn’t give much hope but despair, grief and numbness although it tends to keep a playful and light tone, sometimes downright quirky and tragically funny.
All in all a rather difficult and lengthy film although not bad at accomplishing what it tries to explore.
