  Bull Durham 1988

  ★★ Watched 26 Jun 2024

  Don't understand the (dated) fuss. Costner's 'cool' play is dull and the script overall is stale and petty.

  Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence 1983

  ★★★★½ Watched 19 Apr 2024

  Nothing short of profound. Albeit, with two highly unneccersary memory flashbacks and a questionable soundtrack.

  The Zone of Interest 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Mar 2024

  Zone of Interest. It is a perfect movie. Banality of evil; it's exercising that idea start to finish with the appropriate (respectful) amount of stylization. It is purposfully boring. Again, perfect. For me it's an 8/10. I think Glover can achieve more without the burden of that historical background. In the realm of Shoah movies it stands out and is one of the very "best" cinema has seen.

  Landscape in the Mist 1988

  ★★★★½ Added

  In sich immer wieder neu formenden Bildkompositionen entwirft LANDSCHAFT IM NEBEL eine kalte, tote Welt. Die trostlosen Landschaftsbilder zeigen raue Äcker, graue Strände, Fabriktürme und leere Straßenzüge. Diese nicht-Orte bilden gleichzeitig das Tableau eines biblischen Schöpfungsmtythos, der in seiner poetischen Trance aber kaum Trost oder Hoffnung spendet, sondern von Entfremdung und Verlorenheit erzählt.
