Steff's movie black box

For cinephiliacs. "Cinema is an old whore, like circus and variety, who knows how to give many kinds of pleasure. Besides, you can’t teach old fleas new dogs." Federico Fellini

Mon roi / My king (2015) 9/10

[steffsblackbox]

6/10 Great expectations, not mind blowing, but a refreshing (although ultra dark) film in the spirit of "Dogtooth"

[steffsblackbox]

6/10 A standard artsy detective thriller with the most amazing landscapes ever

[steffsblackbox]

7/10 A plot full of tension and space for imagination + a creepy sense of humor and a nice score

The Disappearing Illusionist (Dirk Ohm - illusjonisten som forsvant), Norway, 2015

Maps to the Stars (2014) A wonderful and very weird story about Hollywood, wicked dreams even more wicked reality of completely (sur)real characters. But still,... something is missing, the film is cold and hollow despite the brilliant performances by the star cast and Cronenberg's perfect cinematic vision. It just empty. 6/10 Directed by David Cronenberg Starring: Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson

The longest week (2013) - smart, funny and absolutely charming. A bit of Woody Allen and Wes Anderson btw.. maybe even too much. 4/10

One of my all time favourites! Based on the story of dr. Charcot and his researches of histeria. 9/10

[steffsblackbox]

Absolutely heartbreaking… and depressing. Director Alfonso Cuaron shows a world of war and violence that has lost all hope. His vision would make you lose every hope in humanity. But worth seeing if you have strong nerves. 5/10

A beautiful turkish film catching the spirit of four teenage girls in the turkish province. Well, there is a lack of conflicts or rather events, but still beautiful. Especially interesting is to see the gas crisis in Turkey through the eyes of the girls. And the music is just amazing. 4/10

First documentary by Diana Ivanova - Listen (2014) A brilliant documentary about Radio Free Europe and its role in Bulgaria before the democratic changes as well as about the Bulgarian secret services. Well structured, very interesting interviews and... super emotional. 9/10
