Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, The Conformist begins it story during the late 1930's with the rise of fascism in Italy. The film follows Marcello, a bureaucrat who feels he must belong to whatever the current political group is, and "conform" to societal norms.
Not only does The Conformist tell a compelling story with themes that still resonate to this day, the film also features stunning cinematography with its use of color and unusual camera angles. Highly recommended.

Corpus Christi 2019
Finally got around to watching Corpus Christi and my, this one does not disappoint. I was confused when this movie I never heard of was included in last years Oscar nominations for Best International Film; now that I've finally seen it I know why. The film follows a young juvenile delinquent who is sent to work in a small village, but instead makes a U-turn to the local church. What follows is a lesson in honesty, forgiveness, and faith that extends through the parish and beyond. Highly Recommended.

Toni Erdmann 2016
Maren Ade’s third feature film, Toni Erdmann focuses on a testy emotional bond between a father and daughter. The film stars Sandra Huller as Ines, a self-determined, career driven consultant; and Peter Simonischek as Winfried (or Toni as we will see later), her father. The performance of both actors are among the best of 2016. Winfried is a compulsive practical joker, pulling pranks on everyone from family members to the local mail courier. His disguise of choice includes bad-fitting false…
