The Movies I Liked

[Yogesh]

Knives Out (Glass Onion) - Found it a bit better than Knives Out. Sleekness and Quirkiness is there in it's pleasant form. Cast is fabulous.

They have improved on first attempt and have been succesful in creating the Blanc franchise. The first one was average at best, this has been improved to above average to good. Not worth the hype around it, but not unworthy of a watch.

Definitely wouldn't be mentioned in a same Breath with Mona Lisa!

A weird yet thoroughly enjoyable movie on Apple TV+ - Amsterdam. Loved the cinematography!

I think , I abandoned this mid way (60+%). don't recollect now.

Not sure how i come across Russian movies.
Here is another nice viewing - Kalashnikov. No introduction to this iconic name. A look into the brief period in his life which led to the invention of one of the most famous firearm.

I recollect, started casually at about 12 midnight. so , this was one of my very late night show.
one of the dialog summary ... prototype rejected, because it was way advanced than others ... something like that.

Yes...Good one.
Now days Russians only make more war movies.,

Try this...
The Balkan Line
Original title: Balkanskiy rubezh
2019
2h 10m

Andrey Zvyagintsev's Leviathan.
An ordinary man trying to fight off foes and so called friends because he has what they covet - beautiful wife , waterfront property. On a more subliminal level it's the story of all ordinary men buffeted and victimized by forces they have no control over. Leviathan could be the State as in Hobbes eponymous treatise or a Biblical creature very rich in symbolism.
On the whole a beautiful satisfying movie with great acting, locale, pathos, humor...indeed never a dull moment in it.

It's a Steller movie...

A murder mystery in the style of "Name of the Rose" set in Cairo has the potential for further exploration.

Saw this movie today. Honestly, I hadn't heard about this one earlier. A real good one - ending is unexpected. Very underrated movie.

Crimson Gold
A schizophrenic pizza delivery man ( played by a real life schizophrenic pizza delivery man Hussein Emadeddin) encounters the inequities of life in Iran when he makes his delivery runs. There is no blood in the movie ( spoiler alert - what is earlier thought as blood in the bathroom is found to be nail polish) but the violence is palpable till it just boils over in the end.
Deemed unfit to be shown in theaters in Iran , it is another great , pathbreaking polemic from the country whose movies never cease to intrigue , fascinate and entertain.

Absolutely loved this movie(watchedin Hindi). Unusual story and amazing performances by the entire cast. The last few minutes are brilliant.
Excellent cinematography. Might seem slow paced for few.
