BOTOKS (BOTOX)
Recommended. Wow! Hard to believe a bloke made such a true movie mostly about women: perv medics, sweeping medical mistakes under the carpet, drunk paramedics, pharmaceutical companies bribing doctors, manipulative, unfaithful lovers playing games in private life. A woman doctor gets sacked for a sexual abuse of a patient, male ones don't, one is actually the head of a clinic. Patryk Vega, as usual, extracted all the pathology of the institution portrayed (the police or special agents in earlier productions, the national health service this time). And, as usual for him, he did it in a thoroughly entertaining, totally involving way. I laughed twice: when the operating theatre is aired before a control visit and then the controllers see a sparrow flying there and when a guy is buying flavoured condomes and can't make up his mind till the pharmacist finally asks: "Are you going to fuck or make jam for winter?" Very good music completes the picture.
THE SNOWMAN
Recommended. Sweeping snowy views of Telemark area, vibrant Oslo, colourful Bergen. Quiet and peaceful Norway and a gruesome series of murders. A well-paced crime thriller. Gripping, full of red herrings. Based on Jo Nesbø's book so heavy stuff.
Both movies seen courtesy of Cinema City.
