Sorry, Baby: An Indie Diary Written in Winter Blues

Sorry, Baby: An Indie Diary Written in Winter Blues

Grief, deadpan humor, Edward Hopper blues - and a literature student who refuses to perform her pain for anyone. Sorry, Baby, Eva Victor’s debut feature, does not enter the room politely. It slides in sideways, quietly funny, a little bruised, and far more daring than its modest indie label suggests....

Frankenstein: Makings of a True Monster

Mary Shelley was only eighteen when she wrote Frankenstein, which might explain why the story still feels so unsettlingly alive. It is a tale born from wild imagination, emotional intensity, and a frightening clarity about adulthood - parenthood, responsibility, abandonment, and the damage we cause when ego outruns empathy. Two...

Peter Hujar’s Day: Friendship, Photography, and the Grit of New York

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to spend a day in the mind of an artist who sees the world…well, differently? One particular artist who grapples with hunger, exhaustion, and the constant hum of ambition, while trying to make New York his stage, his canvas, and sometimes, his cage?...

A Fish Called Wanda: A Classic Comedy with Bite

A Fish Called Wanda (1988) is now considered a comedy classic, directed by Charles Crichton, who came out of semi-retirement at the age of seventy-eight to take it on. Co-written with John Cleese, the film almost never existed beyond a few loose ideas: Cleese imagined a stuttering character whose speech...

Goebbels and the Führer Review: A Heavy-Handed Recount of the Propaganda Machinery

The Nazi regime’s propaganda machine is one of the most terrifying examples of how narrative can be weaponized. In Goebbels and the Führer, director and writer Joachim A. Lang - who most recently explored the life of legendary choreographer John Cranko - returns to familiar territory: documentary-style filmmaking and the...

“Maria” Review: The Mandrax-Fueled Danse Macabre of La Divina

What makes an opera diva? And what makes someone “La Divina”? Is it the voice, the stage presence, or the presence of some sort of secrecy, the ability to become an almost mythical figure? In Maria (2024), the legendary opera singer Maria Callas is deconstructed by director Pablo Larraín. In...

„El Conde”: How Does It Feel to Be a Beast Like You?

In Netflix’s must watch 'El Conde,' Pablo Larraín intertwines historical drama with gothic horror and eerie undertones. He creates a haunting portrait of a man whose legacy is shrouded in mystery and darkness. The film is a wickedly dark and wildly creative exploration of Chile's recent history through a supernatural...

„Leave the World Behind”: Rotten Tomatoes Might Say 75% Yet This is Just a Mess

"Leave The World Behind" is a new Netflix release that promises a thrilling cyber attack-themed story, but falls short on delivering a coherent and compelling narrative. Despite a talented cast led by Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke, the film's convoluted plot and lack of focus make for a disappointing viewing...

„Corsage”: You Only Love What You Want From Others

"Corsage" is a glorious departure from the staid period dramas that have come to dominate the genre. It is a fictionalized take on Empress Elisabeth of Austria’s (aka Sissi’s) last year filled with anachronistic hints, modern pop songs, exit signs, motorized tractors and other exciting inconsistencies. Writer-director Marie Kreutzer turns...
