Zasada przyjemnosci (2019)
Very good crime story full of realism, as impressive as thrilling
I really enjoyed this series. Yes, the story is complex and I highly recommend to put your smartphone away while watching.
We are following the three different detectives literally from lead to lead until the case is solved. A lot of nicely written plot twists happen and only a few of the seem a little forced.
The story shows real people in a credible environment acting in plausible ways and yet it keeps you at the edge of your sofa because the photography and the music create a fascinating feeling. The acting is great, especially the main character Maria is portraited beautifully in all her ambiguity by Malgorzata Buczkowska.
Children of Men (2006)
Some great moments - but most of the questions without answers
*** May contain spoilers *** It began very interesting. Why did the whole world become infertile and how will this be resolved? It kept me watching as I tried to understand what are the aims of the various groups? Than I get bored by the long action sequences after the birth. Nevertheless the scene in which Kee walked through all the soldiers with her crying baby was great! Than I became totally disappointed at the end, nothing was cleared. What will happen on the boat? What is the story of the persons running it? The realistic and dark atmosphere and the acting was good, sometimes very good, I have to admit. Although putting black color on today's cars making them cars of 2027 was not very convincing.
Bolivar soy yo (2002)
Funny and tragic - like real life
I´m german living in Colombia and I enjoyed it. Yes, Colombia has serious problems and even in the best case real improvements of the situation will take decades. But in the meantime it´s a good idea to have self ironic view on it... Real life only has to be exaggerated a bit to have an absurd comedy. I really like this variance of latin humor. On the other hand, one great idea (an actor converts in a national hero) doesn´t make a great movie. Colombian telenovelas often have better stories with more details and better dialogues. Summing up I give a 6 of 10.
