    Deathly dull

    Once again all the positive reviews of this film are 'worthy'.

    When you break it down to reality this is an exceedingly dull piece of filmmaking. Makes you wonder what you have to do to win these awards. . . . let's see . . . .

    1. Does the film look ugly. . . . tick!

    2. Is the subject matter worthy or controversial. . . . tick!

    3. Is it dull as a viewing experience. . . . tick!

    4. Is it subtitled. . . . . double tick for that one!

    5. Are there supposedly meaningful lingering shots or interminable scenes. . . .tick, tick, tick!!!!!!

    Hmmmmm, will think twice about 'award winning films' in future then!!

    If you want to be entertained, avoid this one!

    Four Months

    This is a fantastic film, very dark and certainly not the kind of film you should watch for a cosy evening in! however it is truly remarkable especially as it was made by a man. Definately make this a film that you see - when in the right mood, superb!

    German film goes international: Highlights and flops from the opening weekend. Marinca. Ever heard that name before? No, it's not a Hungarian opera, nor is it a hotel in Corsica. It's actually the surname of a young Romanian actress who takes the lead in the highlight of Day 3 at the Berlinale, Storm, the story of a young Bosnian woman who is called before the war crimes tribunal in the Hague to testify what she witnessed in the Yugoslav wars. In fact, German director Hans-Christian Schmid's... Read more
