The Beach (2000)
Against my expectations, a very original and positively disturbing film!
This film takes you on a ride that you cannot possible anticipate. It's about backpacking, disillusionment, paradise, naïvité.. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was surprised by how the plot kept developing. Definitely worth a watch, you won't find anything like it elsewhere!
Voyna Anny (2018)
An 8 because original, but limited
It's a moving story.. And unique as a film, in my experience. It's relatively short, and closely follows the 6 year old Anna as she attempts to survive in an abandoned school in the midst of wehrmacht, resistance fighters, etc. It's apparently far behind the frontline and so relatively quiet, there is no fighting or action in the movie. There are some moments of suspense, but all is composed of short cuts of a few minutes.. After which the screen fades to black, and onto another scene. I felt some scenes could definitely have been extended.. Nonetheless there were memorable parts, the wehrmacht party for instance was fascinating and together with other scenes suggested magic realism.
