After Hours 1985
On every film you suffer, but on some you really suffer.
Martin ScorseseAfter his much anticipated King Of Comedy turned out to be a monumental flop, Scorsese must have really suffered. But if the low-scale, budget-reduced After Hours was supposed to be his atonement for that disappointment, it wouldn’t be Scorsese if it didn’t actually turn out to be something even wilder, stranger and more challenging. And boy, does he make his hero suffer.
This ultimate one-crazy-night story feels…Translated from by

Bataan 1943
We‘ll stay as long as any of us can stand up. That’s all anybody’s asking of us.

It actually…Translated from by

The Wages of Fear 1953
It’s like a prison here. Easy to get in … but there’s no way out.
Covered in sweat, oil, grime and despair, Henri-Georges Clouzot‘s sublimely crafted, fatalistic thriller stands tall as one of the undisputed masterpieces of cinema and, no matter how often I watch it, always has me breathlessly glued to the screen for every second of its generous 2.5 hour runtime. Not only is it a thrilling adventure story of nail-biting suspense, with each stunning set piece more…Translated from by
