Rewatch at Scala Programmkino Lüneburg. Still my fav 2024.

Now that almost a week has ed, I've devalued the film again by half a point. Unfortunately, we have here one of those representatives of the typical "heart-warming modular melodrama with a good ending" a la Green Book & Co, which also uses its modular elements accordingly in order to squeeze a little tear out of the viewer's eye here and there. Unfortunately, it does this very obviously and also feels far too long. It didn't really reach me, but I'm probably not the target group either.

So cute and charming and also melancholic. Rich of so many details that bring the New York of the 80s to life.

Aki Kaurismäki's latest work is surprisingly positive! Nevertheless, a typical Kaurismäki film from front to back, which strongly follows his proletarian trilogy. The set designs, the characters and the music are once again great - and with Maustetytöt there was even (at least for me) a new musical discovery.

Come on Barbie, let‘s go party!

A wild mix of everything! Love it (I usually hate movies in which characters sing).
Thanks, Axel Ranisch, for another great movie!

Hilarious cop buddy movie parody, love it!
Die hard through lethal weapons in the heat of the streets of rage-javik!

Joachim Trier never disappoints (me). Another great movie by an exceptional director. This will definitely be one of my top favs of this year.

Sundown caught me with no trailer sent before and no infos read. So - do the same, don't watch the trailer and don't read anything about Sundown, just watch it - in your cinema of your choice. Love it!

So wonderful!

The year just started, but I guess this will be one of my favorite movies of 2022. So good! And now I will prepare a licorice pizza for dinner!

A unique experience.
One scene full of pure horror that I will never be able to erase from my mind: Cutting toothnails shown in macro…
