I like movies.
My "Favorite films" aren't actually my favorite films, just recommendations.
Current Theme: Ruhrpott
Watch out for worm signs… in my pants!
A beautiful, but average movie that won't be relevant outside of discussions about Dune, CGI or Denis Villneuve in a couple of years. It just doesn't add anything new and could easily be recut to a commercial for tourism in Dubai.
(And I bet these corporate cowards will stop making Dune movies way before Leto turns himself into a worm.)
Hömma du Arschloch, dat is en Film dene kucken muss, wennze in Ruhrgebiet aufgewachsen bis. Et is gets nich so, date hier den Zitizen Kän von Bochum bekomms, aba immahin is en guten Kamming off Etsch-Film dabei rausgekomm'. Et gab Zenen, wo ich mich bald an Popcorn verschluckt hab vorn Lachen. Außerdem is mir aufgefall'n, dat ich mein ersten richtichen Kuss au auf ner Party in nem Ruhrpottkeller hatte. Für sonne neural… nostalg… Späße wo de an früher denks, is Radio Heimat genau dat richtige! Nur dat mit den Radio hab' ich nich so richtich verstanden. Da war nur so'n ollen Kassettenrekorder.
It's amazing how subtle Schrader managed to direct certain critical scenes. She always keeps the balance between the said and the unsaid and uses it to create an atmosphere of uncertainty and sadness.
"Vor der Morgenröte" is a very good biopic which doesn't use a single ounce of pathos to portray it's subject.
