23. WIOSNA FILMOW (23RD FILM SPRING FESTIVAL)
CHEVALIER (2015)
Watchable. Adult men playing childish games are pathetic. But from time to time you get rewarded with holiday views of the sea, a yacht, a quay and occasional conversations about sophisticated food.
그물 (THE NET)
Watchable. Predictable for anyone even vaguely aware of the situation in both Koreas. But at the same time a very good thriller and political film highlighting the differences in the systems. Well worth seeing. Other than that, the South Koreans look hot.
WILDE MAUS (WILD MOUSE)
Watchable. This Austrian drama about a middle-aged guy whose life takes a downturn and goes from bad to worse is so well acted, with Josef Hader in a triple role of the director, the scriptwriter and the leading actor, and so beautifully shot it's pure pleasure to watch. A few other people from the fired guy's circle have issues too and as they are struggling to resolve them the news keep reporting on the refugee crisis. Each person and the whole country are at a loss. Still, the whole thing lacks a clear point.
