Fried Barry

Trippy South-African film about a guy who loves drugs being taken possession by an alien.

Labelled "already a cult classic"  is always problematic.

I liked it.  Drink a bottle of wine - preferably two - and it's a great film. There's a few wonderful moments, when his crazy asylum mate considers a "stok" for a gun.

• La Coeur D'Or - amazing stop motion about a woman slowly selling herself for her son's sake, turning into gold
• Uncario - enjoyable silent time traveling short

Vicious Fun

Crowdpleaser, meta slasher about a nobody who stumbles into an AAA meeting for serial killers.

Nothing spectacular but enjoyable.

Caught In Time

Quite enjoyed this Chinese "Heat" version... but that does not do it justice.  The balance between cop and robber, the action, the solo violin when violence is about to commence...

All of it; quite wonderful. Amazing film.

Harder to digest after reading about the genocide of uyghurs.

And still, I can't deny I enjoyed this.

In the shadows

Gripping dystopian film that could easily have been an 80s film - visually, probably not from an editing perspective - about workers in a factory where the protagonist slowly starts to rebel.

The Trouble With Being Born

Chilling and at times difficult to watch; an android is followed through two phases; one with her human daddy - this was most difficult to watch, as the film questions what sexy dolls mean and can be seen as. Makes for pondering, also how story was told. Slow. 

Lapsis

Fun film, "stoner version of Black Mirror" is a correct description, of cable layers for "Kwantum", ridiculing and criticing companies such as Uber by following a man who illegally gets a medallion to become a cabler and has to beat the auto-bots.

New Order

Chilling film about the lower class rising up to take what they consider their own during a wedding of the rich in Mexico. Chilling in its realism, particularly how of course it's still controlled by the elite.
