Je suis Karl (2021)
Why
I give 2 stars for the beginning which was intruiging. But then... The national party people consisted of beautiful, slim, young people. I knew it was a german movie, also on Netflix. So all those charismatic promises from the declared enemy of the state, in real life, everyone that has a different opinion than the mainstream, would have a bitter bargain most likely at the end. And there it was. The young right-wing-radicals actually shoot people on the street. And very much so, they really shoot black people. Of course, this had to be shown explicitly. This movie is propaganda. Show me movies, where left-wingers shoot white families in the street, then, but while writing this I noticed this is already in normalization, cinema-wise. It's a shame.
But in the end I must say, this movie is very funny. The audacity to show this to people and nobody cares. It's a divine joke.
The Stranger (2022)
Dark without subject
The movie has such a dark ambience. It is nice, but there is no reason for it I can find. Apart from the obvious child victim. But the tragedy is not really adressed. Thousands of children go missing every year everywhere. Why is this case so special? Where is the grief? All this gloom and music of terror shows me this movie wants to be really artistical, but the subject is missing. Maybe it's supposed to work if people knew more about the case. But that's a waste for a movie. A cool ending would have been if the child of Mark was actually the victim and he imagined him still being there while also working the case, being confronted with the murderer. Ok, that is unrealistic but it would be better.
Knight of Cups (2015)
A trailer for a trailer
I used to like Terence Mallick. Then I doubted his work. Then I watched "Song to Song" and remembered how well Mallick can make movies. I looked forward to watch this movie. The main character wants to find a pearl. Is this pearl the child he has in the end of the movie? I don't know. If you don't like my review, be sure, that it has more meaning than the movie and is much shorter. There is almost no plot and the clean, safe, dry, very aesthetic though recordings of architecture and city scenes look so boring. Mallick couldn't film a garbage can with actual debris and trash inside if his life depended on it. It's nice to have HD shootings when they have purpose and beauty, with context and liquidity. These edges of buildings Mallick is transporting to the viewer are the real message. The minds of the characters are captivated inside triangles, sometimes maybe squares. Maybe that's what the director wants to tell us. That he made actual other movies that matter. And on top of it, it was made in L.A., where nature is only a fading image on the horizon while people pretend to be swimming in a real ocean when they can drown out the noises from the drug abuse and lost dreams from the parking lots. Anyway, there are lots of gold-digging prositutes in this movie, hanging around in every scene. Even for Mallick's standards too many. I still love him though.
After Life (2019)
Aftermath
It's an entertaining show, I like the little town atmosphere but the self-righteousness of the main character really is annoying. He actually thinks to be a good person when he has understood why he treated everyone so badly. But being good when your life is ok and normal is easy. It's about the hard situations which show if you are as selfish and arrogant like the main character. He helped a guy with money so he could have happy heroin suicide for everyone who forgot that fact. He's not a good person, he is just louder in performing a good act or a bad one.
