The Bookkeepers of Death

In some movies, the karma of souls is balanced by a bookkeeper of morals. In most of them the bookkeeper is shown as some kind of devil; in others he even might be friendly. He is there to help the soul(s) decide which way to take and where to go at least. Sometimes he "helps" when they are still alive, but - anyway - his mission's end is most of the times inevitable for the delinquent's hereafter. Which of these movies containing a bookkeeper of death is your favorite? Tell us here . (This list may contain spoilers because of the poll's subject.)

Captivating Slow and Quiet Cinema

Some movies don't need many action scenes, fast pacing, shockingly loud tones. No matter if it is a drama, a comedy or any other genre, these movies have one thing in common. These movies take the audience by the hand and lead them through their stories. All of them have at least some of these attributes: Exciting camera work, well set music, a bonding story and cut. There is mostly no loud noise in them in a wide range of time. Which of these slow paced, more quiet movies captivates you the most or if you didn't see any of these, which seems to be the most interesting to you? Please tell us here .
