REBELLE (WAR WITCH)
Recommended. An involving and moving story which is incredibly true to African culture (even the phantoms are white).
THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS (1962)
Watchable. Finally a "Day Of The Triffids" which I managed to watch till the end. Less naff than more modern versions. Still, a catastrophe followed by a mayhem is such a standard cinematic fare that it would be hard to make it any more than watchable.
ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD
Watchable. A profound source of information on what's it like to live and work in Antarctica. Yet, it's little revelatory.
KIRSCHBLUETEN - HANAMI
Watchable. An involving and moving story about grieving and modern families, cleverly showing a clash of different perspectives, just a bit silly and over the top for me but my family is quite traditional.
ALAMAR
Watchable. Beautiful cinematography and little plot. Purely for watching, the only depth in it is in the sea.
THE FLY (1958)
Recommended. I've never managed to get through the 80s version. This one amazed me. It's like an old-fashioned detective story with science fiction bits sprinkled on top. Very atmospheric and frightening in the message it conveys.
FROM BEYOND (1986)
Watchable. Gratuitous nudity among monsters looking like plastic toys. It somehow has a style though.
