AKTORKA

Recommended. A documentary featuring celebrities like Meryl Streep as well as lesser known persons from Elzbieta Czyzewska's life. A story full of controversy: Did she get married to an American out of love or for an American passport? Was she overlooked for roles because she was Polish? Why did she fail in the US?

IL RACCONTO DEI RACCONTI (THE TALE OF TALES)

Watchable when seen for the second time. Didn't evoke emotions this time. But it's remarkably well-acted and there are details to the stories I forgot after the first viewing. Truly original.

LA MONTAGNE MAGIQUE (THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN)

Walked out. Prolonged sequences of animation in an unnerving jerky style with infrequent, slowly spoken commentary.
