November 11, 2018

Roma (2018) *****

Zimna wojna (2018) *****


Never Look Away (2018) *****

Brilliant film about German history and German art.

October 10, 2018

The Other Side Of The Wind (2018) ****

Les Chatouilles (2018) ****

Brilliant film about a very difficult subject.

Capernaum (2018) ***

The best Lebanese film of all time, a touching story of a young boy in a merciless world.

A Quiet Place (2018) ****

A Star Is Born (2018) ****


Shoplifters (2018) ****

Isle Of Dogs (2018) ****

Pure Wes Anderson. Bizarrely, this wonderful film has been denounced as racist by ignorant critics who apparently never heard of the Nanking Massacre and who fail to understand that it is a powerful anti-fascist film that just happens to denounce a Japanese type of fascism.

Mektoub My Love (2018) ****
