  Awakenings

  by Henrik

  Hard to digest, yet very warm and full of melancholic beauty at times. Robert De Niro's performance alone make this movie worthwhile. As does the solid acting by Robin Wlliiams and the hand-picked rest of the cast. The movie is very tragic and the ending is not much of a happy end (dont want to spoil it), but that makes it even more likeable. It respects his characters and is, after all, based on a true story (Actually, it is based on a non-fiction book by Oliver Sacks, M.D. which is a good read btw.) So, I do recommend this movie, especially if you are a fan of Williams and/or De Niro.

  Hey, you should really see this! Tragic Drama with lots of melancholic warmth in it. A stellar lead and good supporting cast make this very enjoyable.

  Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne (Ladies of the Park)

  by Henrik

  A haunting French film noire, which could easily be responsible for coining the phrase femme fatale. Maria Cesares is brilliant portrating the plotting spider who weaves the web around the men she loves and the women she despises to lure them into a fatal liason. The dialogue is very lyrical and the emotions (particulary the ending) ooze with vivid tearjerks, this movie from France after all. This movie is also remarkably raunchy for 46 showing some decent amount of underwear and skin, which makes this movie both a classic and a dare. If you have any affinity with film noir or French cinema at all this movie is highly recommended and it might serve as a good introduction to French Cinema for you if you have not been confronted with it yet.
  
  Go fetch it and tell me what you think of it !

  French Cinema Noire at its best. A haunting female lead and solid direction make this a claustrophobic crawl into the dark rifts of the human mind, struggling to find the place between love and hate ! H.

  Dear Wendy

  by Henrik

  What an extraordinary imaginative and well directed movie that was. The story is about a gang of boys, led by the somewhat off-beatish boy Dick who form a gang called the "Dandies", a secret society obsessed with classic marksmanship and honor codes. The movie adressess many issues on a very subtle and beautifully mellow level. The question of gun possession, how modern weaponry and warfare went over the top, especially in the context of youth politics. The movie has the quirkyness and love for its characters like a Wes Anderson movie, but also sports the brooding Post-America atmosphere of Lars von Trier and David Lynch movies. The cast is brilliant, from Pullman to Jamie Bell, so is the 60ies OST. I strongly recommend this movie to my friends here at Flixster, you will be surprised and raising your eyebrows at times but cannot help to be immersed, forced to rethink often and of course entertained by this work of art.

  Dogville

  by Henrik

  A very interesting movie mirroring the ambivalence of human morale. It is hard to position yourself as the movie ends and that is a very good "illustration" of the peciularness we are facing when it comes to deciding what is good and what is evil.
  
  A good cast, the mixture of experienced actors and newcomers as well as the different national backgrounds make this an interesting ensemble piece to watch.

  Hello everyone, just saw this movie last night and it surprised me by how it is executed and some weird but excellent working plot twists. You should watch this sometime.
