NIGHT FILM MARATHON - THE BEST FILMS OF 2014
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS
Watchable. What was the whole fuss about? I mean, why was everyone in Poland oh-so-delighted with it? Well, it's a clever film about living, dying and our attitude to the terminally ill, coming from the obnoxious character of the teenagers' beloved writer, but the whole cancer story is overly sweet. From what I know from a friend with a cancer, the brutal reality is a far cry from everyone making their dreams come true.
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL
Watchable. I've never been a fan of Wes Anderson, having walked out from some of his films in the past, yet this one is interesting, well, weird, with no message behind the story, but involving. Remarkably well acted, especially by Tony Revolori as Zero Mustafa.
INTERSTELLAR
Watchable. I'm not a great fan of Christopher Nolan either and "Interstellar" does feel protracted, those 169' could easily be limited to around 120. Still, it's one of his better movies. A classical space opera, partly shot in Iceland, like every other movie of the genre, with deep psychology, like most of SF these days, some sociological observations and brand new concepts of the ocean planet or the curved habitat.
The fourth film was "Fury" from which I walked out previously so I didn't even attempt to start watching it again last time, at 5:30 am in that.
