NIGHT FILM MARATHON - CINEMA OF CONOISSEURS
HODEJEGERNE (HEADHUNTERS)
Watchable. A bit too morbid, especially the dog carcass being carried on the front of the tractor, but the criminal intrigue is perfect, a beautifully entagled loop.
INTOUCHABLES
Recommended. Lots of situation humour, e.g. the carer tells a teenage girl's ex-boyfriend to apologise and bring her croissants every day and the boy asks: "Butter ones or ordinary?", intertwined with such astonishing sadness of pragmatism. A very clever film worthy of an Oscar.
LEK WYSOKOSCI (FEAR OF FALLING)
Walked out. Kind-of - I stayed in the screen but dozed off determined not to drink coffee for the sake of a film so slow and full of disconnected visions that if I hadn't waited for the next one I would have gone home to sleep in my own bed.
SHAME
Watchable. A bit like "American Psycho" but with more sex and only self-inflicted violence, just reversed proportions of the same.

DARK SHADOWS
Watchable. While I'm normally a great fan of spoofs and this movie cleverly mocks my beloved "Twilight" as well as "Death Becomes Her" and several separate scenes re-enacted by American cinema over and over again none of the lines or gags is funny. What's more I was upset with how unfair it was to present the clever, proactive, beautiful, sexy witch in love as a villain. She was the only perfect match for the immortal. And he spurned her to chase a characterless virgin and at the same to let a third one suck on his dick. The slutty vampire was clearly unworthy of the witch's undying love.

NIGHT WITH ORANGE
A perfectly well organized marathon where you could pick your own 3 movies (or 4 if you walked out just like me). I decided to see:
W CIEMNOSCI (IN DARKNESS)
Watchable. Too lengthy to be eligible for an Oscar but with an interesting plot. Unexpectedly lots of sex scenes and other nudity. Would be more realistic if the people were slimmer though.
ELLES
Watchable. Another film which turned out to involve lots of sex scenes yet here justified by the subject. Interesting stories and life observations but somehow without an ending which the dream scene failed to replace.
LISTY DO M. (LETTERS TO SANTA)
Walked out. Seems like a few separate stories all of which are silly and none is funny.
CARNAGE
Walked out. Witnessing a quarrel is rarely fun and vomiting Kate Winslet put me off the movie completely.
