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.
