He ni zai yi qi (2002)
Touching, even under your skin, both emotionally and musically.
An exotic movie, which really touched me. Still I dont know if it was the music, the boys toughts or the fathers feelings that 'did the job', but the movie really took a grip in me. An extra enjoyment was the environment it was set in, or rather the two very different environments. I found myself identifying me with several of the main characters, especially the father, the son and the young woman next door. And the music... usually I am not listening to classical music, but here the violin took me to high levels. There was something very intense in the performance.
The Straight Story (1999)
Warming, but slow and not "Lynchy"
The Straight Story is a warming road movie. Straight himself is really getting to your heart, and the character is played very convincing. The Lynch style which you might expect is there, but you have too look and listen carefully to see it.
I Kina spiser de hunde (1999)
A fascinating Danish movie, with Kim Bodnia as a great character.
This is a very interesting and fascinating Danish movie, especially if you do not know the story beforehand. As usually, Kim Bodnia makes a great character (both warm and cold), and so does "Arvid". You might find some similarities with Pusher and Bleeder.
Tillsammans (2000)
Funny but unfair to the people of the 70's
The movie is funny, and it gives you who experienced the 70's a good laugh. But I think the movie is unfair and gives only one angle of view. Many of the people were serious, well informed and had really a point in their actions, but in the movie they are shown as naive and odd persons. The 70's was a good decade in my opinion, today we are more lost than then...
Lola rennt (1998)
Simple plot on one level, but there is more to it...
An amazing movie, taking new directions more than once. In a way it is simple, the plot is not too complicated, however there is also another level which makes you think and keeps you attention close to maximum. Those of you that have seen "Groundhog Day" will find some similarities. Throughout the movie you also really feel yourself running and breathing for more oxygene.
Catchfire (1990)
Good start, but I did not like the second half
The movie starts out good, with great actors, and as a watcher you are trying to figure out in what direction the movie is going to continue. Hopper and Foster ARE good actors here, as well as some other persons. However, the last half an hour disappoints me.
The Turn of the Screw (1999)
I enjoyed to see the young womans convincing efforts to protect the children.
I enjoyed to see the young womans convincing efforts to protect and take care of the children. She was very focussed, both the movie character and the actress.
The clear and precise english language added extra value to the movie.
