Melancholia

Melancholia Title Card

Melancholia Still

 

The first instalment of the Depression Trilogy, a beautifully haunting film, the intro sequence remains imprinted in my mind.

Glengarry Glen Ross

Glengarry Glen Ross Still

A… B… C… A: Always; B: Be; C: Closing.

Blackhat

Blackhat Title Card

Blackhat Still

A bad B Movie with a polished veneer, for a film about hackers and cyber-crime the computers get so little use and instead are pushed aside for gun and knife fights.
★★✩✩✩

Nymphomaniac Vol I

Nymphomaniac Vol I Title Card

Nymphomaniac Vol I Still

Lars Von Trier latest three films (four, counting Nymphomaniac’s two volumes separately) speak to something in me like few other films do, everything about them is deliberate yet naturalistic, soaked in mood and deep with psychological aspects to dwell on — Nymphomaniac in particular is some of his better work, ambitious if gratuitous.

★★★★★

Casablanca

Casablanca Title Card

Casablanca Still

One of the greatest films of all time, romantic and full of nuance and tension.
