“I wasnāt really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, even though I obviously heard about Brian Wilson, his huge talent and his tragic life, I have to admit that I have never been a huge fan of the Beac” read more
“I wasnāt really sure what to expect from this flick but, since I have a weak spot for Abbie Cornish and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I was actually surprised by how boring the damned thing turned out to be. Basically, it is a typica” read more
“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this film, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, even if Iām not a huge fan of āBlack Pantherā, without the success of this Marvel installment, it is doubtful that this movie would have ever been greenlighted. Anyway, I thought the da” read more

“To be honest, since this movie had been poorly received, I didnāt expect much from it but, since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well have check it out. Well, indeed, it turned out to pretty weak, Iām afraid. I mean, the story actually did sound interesting but the main is” read more

Notes: Even though Jos Stelling is one of the most highly regarded directors from the Netherlands, I have to admit that Iām not really familiar with his work. Indeed, I have seen only his previous directorial effort, āHet Meisje en de Doodā which did win the Golden Calf for the best Dutch film of the year but, to be honest, I didnāt care much for it. Well, even though the rest of the film club was really enthusiast, I have to admit that I had a hard time to really connect with this (probably) last movie from the Dutch master. I mean, I have to admit that it was visually really neat and definitely from another level than your average Dutch production, thatās for sure. Unfortunately, the movie itself was just too cryptic for my taste and I would have a really hard time to tell what Stelling was trying to tell or to achieve here. Another thing that bothered me was the gimmick of the mute main character. In my opinion, it is a rather cheap trick to make your character deep and mysterious by having him saying nothing but he felt more like an empty shell than an actual human-being. Above all, I donāt think he was really interesting and this Russian woman who he met half way through was actually much more intriguing. The other tricky thing with this movie was that it was so random and itās as if Stelling created his own logic as he went along and, like the rest of the movie, I guess it is really a matter of taste if youāre going to appreciate this approach. Anyway, even if it didnāt really work for me, I gave it a few extra points for being so artistic and challenging.

“About a week ago, I saw āWrath of Manā and since this French original version was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out.
