In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)
So confused.
I will not spoil anything. All I will say is this movie doesn't make a lot fo sense. I watched with my wife and we are both still wondering how the writers tried to piece it all together. Why did they makes the choices they made?? I guess I will never know. I give it a 6 because the main actor is really trying and he keeps the movie interesting. Other than that it would maybe be a 4 or 5. Interesting story, that really goes nowhere.
In Full Bloom (2019)
My favorite of the year, so far
I was able to watch this movie at the festival that came to my city in Oldenburg. There was some hype to which I was quite interest. I dont know what I was to expect when watching, but was quite literally blown away. It wasn't because it was terribly shocking or twisty, but because of how much heart went into the project. Its felt from the beginning. A lot of poetry is on screen. Much beauty and awe can be sensed from the film. The more I reflect on the movie, the more I find myself thinking it might be the best of the year. It's clear that this is the work of people who love cinema. The two actors who portray the boxers really moved me. I still think back to certain scenes with questions, and though I may never know the answers, Im pleased with the wonder. My suggestion is to know that this film more thoughtful film, so know that it isn't action, CGI or spectacle. It is beauty that holds dear here. Loved it.
The 39 Steps (1935)
Hitchcock's Masterpiece
Hitchcock is without a doubt one of the best filmmakers of all time. And while he has countless masterpieces under his filmography, I feel this is his best film. A controversial statement, but it is his most personal and meticulous film. It's near perfect from pacing, cinematography, acting and direction. A must watch!
