Last Film You Watched

All Quiet on the Western Front

An effective, but somewhat tonally uneven retelling of events in the trenches during WW1

Felt a little like a more brutal, but less impactful 'Come and See'


Come and See is so traumatising, I think the main difference between the two is one is army v army while the other is soldiers v civilians, a whole different level of grim.

I wanna see this version, I actually re watched the 70s version recently, which is also worthy of a watch.

Oh I definitely agree - Just felt like some of the shots in this were almost directly lifted from that film

Rather odd choice to use some heavily electronic elements in the soundtrack as well

I think my main issue with it, was how beautifully shot it is. The landscapes looked amazing, for full on battles. Each day looks around 10-14 degrees

Come and see is just grim and cold, and looks like it's -7 all the time

The Thin Red Line gets away with it as it's more about the nature
 
Couple of foreign films for me recently.

Holy Spider: an Iranian film based on true events 20 years ago. About a serial killer. Pretty good I thought. Potentially a good look at the sickness in Iranian society, although those who made it are not actually based in Iran so perhaps not to be taken fully at face value.

Happening: French film about abortion in the 1960s. Excellent I thought but a very difficult watch.
