“Beautiful Boy”
Challenging to watch, but a must see anyway. About addiction as an all-consuming and devastating black hole. About struggle which is unbearable, ugly and inhumane. About shame, anger and despair. about boundaries, patience and the endlessly stretching matter called love… And, overall, about the hell of addiction… I am so glad Steve Carell did not stay in the clich? Of the comedy, but unfolds his talent in the drama. And what can I say about Timothee Chalamet except – this boy is so talented and speaks so meaningfully and mature during his interviews, I cannot wait to see his future projects. Based on a true story and the books of David…

Human
iInstead of drawing up a balance-sheet for the past months, I decided that the last post for this year would be something beautiful and inspiring. For me these pieces of beauty that suddenly find me through the unimaginable online information noise are magical and contemplative and are a true creative engine. Years ago Yann Arthus-Bertrand enspelled us with his bird’s eye view shots. then I wrote about his Home. And now Human found me. pieces from the puzzle called Humanity – total and amazing in its diversity, but also in its uniformity.

November movie mix
Christopher Robin: how good it would be if when we become too serious in our lives, when we forget what it was like to be a child, for our childhood friends to come and sometimes playing, sometimes sharing wisdom, to remind us the really important things… like “Today is my favorite day” or “Doing nothing always leads to the best of something”. Evoking warmth and smiles, with wonderful music. Mindhunter s.01: the dawn of profiling in the FBI… Endless curiosity and thinking outside the box always lead to changes and growth. And the contact with the most sinister psychopaths… leads to unexpected turns in the viewpoint. I am waiting for…

“A Star is Born”
I have one word for this movie: PASSION.In all its forms and manifestations. I have probably watched the version with Barbara Streisand. Honestly, I don’t remember it.Bradley Cooper’s version is bold, honest, real, powerful. I will remember it for certain. Lady Gaga (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, probably a few people know her real name) is the living proof of the layers you need to peel and peel until you reach the real thing, the essence of the talent… The chemistry between them is palpable. Before I watched the movie I was puzzled by the way he looked at her during the interviews. Now I am not… The energy we use to…

“The Wife”
Long since I haven’t experienced such deep delight in the combination of magnificent acting, intense dialogue, almost theatrical atmosphere, beautiful music and devastatingly suppressed emotions which sweep the luster of a comfortable facade. Glenn Close shines with all her power and Jonathan Pryceis a worthily match. The result – a powerful and raising questions movie. based on Meg Wolitzer’s novel.
