Miami Vice 2006
Borderline experimental dive into a hyperreal world of crime. It's confusing, violent and dark. Every second feels dangerous, every action desparate, every character lonely. The image is an beautifully imperfect digital mess, almost surreal at times. There's a storm coming in the background throughout the entire movie but it never starts to rain. Manns masterpiece.

The Matrix Resurrections 2021
The Matrix has been evaluated over and over again in its anachronistic timelessness, a cult movie with a following that turned into an actual cult. The most subversive thing to follow up that elegant and everlasting action classic is a movie that is so of its time that it might age like milk. This movie is meant to be enjoyed right now, in this (Western) culture. It's a reaction. Resurrections isn't filled with philosophical ideas but rather with loose thoughts…

Grizzly Man 2005
It might come off as pretentious bullshit, but that moment when the director of the documentary enters the frame himself, telling one of the protagonists to destroy the money shot of a film like this, the true crime recording people coming for the shock value of the story are here for, that's something. Because it's not really about how they died, but why they chose to be there.

Three Wishes for Cinderella 1973
Damn, she pulls some power moves on the prince. It's also basically a super hero movie.
