Racism is just stupid. A bigot wakes up to discover he is now black and experiences all kind of prejudice. He gains a new level of counsciiousness and fights back. Nice comedy.

A disturbing dissection of the current state of the Western society. Why is it so difficult for people to face reality? How did politics become what it is today? The movie doesn’t give answers but stimulates thinking in a fun way. Only if you like and are able to understand satire.

Buñuel at his best. Dream, reality and the surrealism of the bourgeois life.

Is there hope in such a violent world? It has to be in simple things, like the beauty of a sunny day. Good movie, but very violent. Even disturbing.

My rating:
It’s a delicious comedy about fighting the incompetent. Matthau is a field CIA agent who gets transferred to a desk job by his incompetent boss. As revenge, he starts writing his memories exposing how the security services really work and how the incompetent take wrong decisions for the despair of his boss. Glenda Jackson is wonderful as his girlfriend and accomplice.

It’s a short experimental movie (18′) made by character actor Clu Galager, one of the most surprising pieces I’ve watched recently. It’s visually beautiful and bold, shot by legendary cinematographer László Kovács. It shows the innocence of childhood together with the potential for human violence. It was the inspiration for George Washington.

The series is set in Seyðisfjörður in eastern Iceland. The protagonist Andri, the police chief, is the real one who is trapped in his past, present and future. Very good Nordic-style crime series. I’m looking forward very much for a second season.
Directed by Baltasar Kormákur, Baldvin Z, Börkur Sigthorsson, Óskar Thor Axelsson
Starring Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Ilmur Kristjánsdottir, Ingvar Sigurðsson, Nina Dögg Filipusdottir
My rating:
The first and second season were very good. The third started to exaggerate. The fourth is too much. We all know there are dirty politicians, but this seems too much. Even as fantasy.
Starring Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, Michael Kelly

The movie is really visually beautiful. It was a pleasure watching it. It shows that external beauty and being wealth don’t result in fulfillment. The beauty is somewhere else. Inside.
