German Film Week last week, Película-Pelíkula: Spanish Film Festival this week.
I call this season "My Christmas" and boy was it merry for me this year.
KUNDSCHAFTER DES FRIEDENS - Senior citizen agents. Outsmarting present-day agents. Recipe for witty-slapstick comedy.
7.1 out of 10.
NEBEL IM AUGUST – Nazi Euthanasia. Depressing. But boy’s phenomenal acting gave the powerful message some softness off-balance filmmaking emanates.
7.4 out of 10.
MEIN BLIND DATE MIT DEM LEBEN – Feel-good. Positivist. Naturally charming. Much-needed destressor I needed. 9.1 out of 10.
SELFIE – Organic. Subdued satire.
7.5 out of 10.
LA PUERTA ABIERTA – Surprisingly entertaining. For a prostitute film. Can imagine Jaclyn Jose portraying this & still come out funny. Unique storytelling.
8.9 out of 10.
LA DELGADA LÍNEA AMARILLA – Started out dramatic. Unfolded comic. Ended dramatic. Surprised dark fantasy master Guillermo del Toro produced such a simplistic movie. Packs some disturbing punch though towards the end.
8.7 out of 10.
BONUS: VICTORIA & ABDUL. Managed to squeeze in some mainstream. Right amount of gloss & inspirational.
8 out of 10.
