Suburbicon (2017)
Interesting Plot.
A great movie. Don't understand why it got bad reviews. Interesting plot. Somehow a mirror of the US society in the fifties and even today. A typical Cohen Brothers scenario. An excellent acting performance by the boy. The recreation of the atmosphere of the fifties is very accurate. Overall a good production that keeps you focused.
Notias (2016)
One would expect more from the creator of "Touch of spice"
The film means little to the spectator who has not lived in Greece during the years of the dictatorship and the first years after wards. The creation of an nostalgic atmosphere with all the special effects is excellent and something the director knows well to do. The city of Athens during the sixties was well recreated. The acting in the movie was mediocre and so is the script, which was lacking an interesting plot. Certain parts of the movie seem boring, but in most of the scenes one can see the talent of the director and that of the camera man. May be the film would be more interesting with better actors. The great success of the director's previous movie makes the moviegoer to expect much more than this.
Im Labyrinth des Schweigens (2014)
Great movie equal to the other great German movie"The Life of Others"
I congratulate the Germans for their courage to treat their history this way. A film with an excellent scenario and great "non Hollywood actors". The experience the director gained producing documentaries in the past was transferred successfully into his first feature film. The atmosphere of the fifties in Germany was well recreated. Till I saw the film I was under the impression that the "Entnazifizierungsprozess" started right after the Nurnberg trials. This film proves that it actually started in the early sixties. The question always remains, how a nation that produced Goethes, Schillers, Beethovens and others like them could commit these crimes against humanity. Let's not forget that the Nazis were voted to power.
