"Great to see the russian meryl streep at work. Too bad the storytelling screams Art. Yes there are intriguing scenes but then enters the voiceover that gives me an attack of madness - such an annoying, pompeus wordsalad! This is what I call intellectualistic wanking, or to put it less harshly: an escaperoom for literature geeks. Best scene had a hysterical recording of Herr unser Herrscher by JSB - who else?"
20 2% Colossal Youth (2006) - Rated 16 Mar 2024
"Unbearably boring. Reading the script out loud in a carried tone can not be and will never be a character study."
70 45% Lawrence of Arabia (1962) - Rated 16 Mar 2024
"The acting and directing are fairly outdated and I'm in the habit of rating a movie on it's sight, not on it's historical meaning. The character of Lawrence is complex and interesting (a messiah who is repeatedly promoted against his will..?!), but it's merely suggested than delivered, which leaves holes in the story. Most characters don't exceed the treatral level but I like to point out Prince Feisal, who shows me that casting, writing and acting could be done spot on in 1962."
55 17% Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972) - Rated 13 Mar 2024
"Attractive combination of soundtrack and images of a procession of hubris through the jungle. The wicked stare of Kinski almost works as a pantomime on its own. Too bad he and the others are dubbed in leveled, studiosounding schoolgerman - you even hear the ambiance reverb of the room they recorded it in, which is hilariously bad considering it is supposed to give a voice to spanish conquistiadores rafting on a wild river in full costume."
30 4% Perceval le Gallois (1978) - Rated 13 Mar 2024
"A play. A dull play. Beautiful trees on stage though, I hope they made good money selling them to sesamestreet or some other big studio afterwards."
80 77% Crime Wave (1985) - Rated 12 Mar 2024
"Funny in many layers, I laugh a lot and keep smiling afterwards. The narrator goes in my book as one of the greatest narrators, I can keep listening to her for hours, and that for a young girl... A thing like that! An example of excellent coinciding of form and content. Not everything works, but there is enough to hold my attention. And what a fresh soundtrack."
80 77% La passion de Dodin Bouffant (2023) - Rated 11 Mar 2024
70 45% Perfect Days (2023) - Rated 09 Mar 2024
