Movie Review: The Wrestler

Watching this movie physically hurts. It's one of those movies where you see terrible things coming and want to shout at the actor not to do it. But it always…

Movie Review: Das Mädchen mit dem Perlenohrring

A very sensual movie. The sensuality of perception, of food, of doing the daily chores, of erotic tension. To give room to this sensuality, the storytelling is slow but in…

Movie Review: Alles, was wir geben mussten

Movie Review: Paris, Texas

I've watched this for the first time at the end of the 80's as a teenager. Even back then, it impressed me and I never forgot that it was special.…
