NIGHT FILM MARATHON - 4 X GOSLING
ONLY GOD FORGIVES
Recommended. Violence stylish like in "Kill Bill" (the mother even looks and behaves like Black Mamba would in older age), fantastic music, captivating characters, poetic.
THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES
Recommended. When you think the movie's over, it actually starts. Clearly depicted characters, involving action.
DRIVE
Watchable. Good criminal intrigue but the film plods along and the girl (whose husband's in prison) is far too gullible and far too cute to be a plausible character.
THE IDES OF MARCH
Recommended. Gripping intrigue, with lots of suspense and some political humour ("You broke the only rule in politics. You want to be
president? You can start a war, you can lie, you can cheat, you can
bankrupt the country... but you can't fuck the interns.")
And a totally different screening from the Congress of Women:
DZIEN KOBIET (WOMEN'S DAY)
Watchable. Nothing new in the storyline after well-known revelations about work conditions of real-life supermarket employees, yet the film's naturally humane and well-structured which makes it quite appealing.
