🎬 The Invisible Man
Said “man” faked his death and now terrorises his (ex-)wife. Not really bad. But not really good, either. It’s probably a little better than I thought it would be. Still: not really recommended.

Remarkable movie that manages to be very funny while also addressing several very serious topics such as rape, murder, suicide and racism – and still dealing with them in a serious way. Top!

I seem to really enjoy Jim Jarmusch’s movies. This was no exception. It’s an episode film about Taxi drivers in various famous cities in the same night at the same time. Not all episodes were equally...

Given that Nicole is a huge David Lynch fan, it’s surprising I haven’t watched this in full until recently. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great Lynch-y-en atmosphere and strangeness. Would watch again.

Another classic – from 1968! – I’ve never seen before. It’s deservedly highly respected! This must have inspired so many horror-movies after it. I can’t recall an earlier (horror) movie with that...

My second Roy Andersson movie.He has a unique style. And I think I still need to get used to it. Nevertheless, this was entertaining with it’s dry humor. I probably didn’t fully “get” this film, though.

A rewatch. First time was in the cinema, where this movie is much more impressive of course. But I liked it a second time on the TV, too.Convincing story. Amazing futuristic and dystopian world....

I like movies that play in a single room – like a play at a theatre. It’s a pretty morbid play. And pretty clever. Reminded me of Columbo at times. Bonus points for making it look like a one-shot...

This was great! Super funny. But also serious and sad.Great dialogues, and great characters. There also was often this suspense in many scenes where you wouldn’t know what would happen next.

This was ok.Individual scenes were certainly nicely done. But I often had the feeling that I had seen everything before.It had too many jump-scares, which drives me nuts.

How about some mainstream comedy for a change?This was funny! But not so good that I need to watch it again. But maybe part 2? ;-)
