The Anonymous Venetian (1970)

Unlucky ones in Venice

[6/10 · 27 April 2021]

The benefit of this film is Venice itself with it's beauty and decay. The story, common as it is, is almost too tragic to be displayed in these surroundings. But there are highlights, the musical parts and the scene in the weavery, where the woman lives up among all the fantastic fabric, made with ancient ooms. But the acting, what can you say, at best it's restrained, the angry parts are exaggerated and overexploited by at least the male actor.

A Star Is Born (2018)

Good music, trivial story

[7/10 · 16 August 2019]

Finally I got to see this picture. I appreciated the music, very good singing too, especially from Gaga. There was a special chemistry between Gaga and Cooper but what a trivial story! Does a real American man have to commit suicide because he needs a hearing aid and drinks too much for his own good? I don't think so, why not skip your own career and support your wife instead...

Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018)

Not a Disneyfilm

[8/10 · 17 July 2019]

This is something special, feels quite realistic, action amongst animals without sentimentality.

A Serious Game (2016)

Love on the verge of life or death

[8/10 · 16 July 2019]

Very serious drama on the subject of young love which can't be forgotten until fulfilled.
