The Art of Love (2022)
Wow!
It is very rare to see a movie that can charm an audience without the extensive use of special effects, worn-out clichés and action set pieces these days.
I "discovered" this movie at the Zuerich Film festival ZFF. I got to see the movie on it's last showing, and all I can say is that it will not pain me one bit to pay to see this gem a second time.
Assembling the best and most unlikeliest of ensemble casts you may probably see for a long time,
Great directing, beautiful camera work and when the more touching moments arrive, they don't seem forced but natural and honist, because these moments are truly earned. But WHAT a collection of characters this is. Alexandra Gilbreath absolutly stunning as Eva Parker I can't describe in words - you must see! Oliver Walker is perfect as tired influencer Adam Kowinski, searching for a real meaning in life. The crazy "Boss"; Kenneth Collard finds new shades of darkest despair and comedy as the man with the master plan; "Ted Lasso's" Jeremy Swift does amazing things with little more than facial expressions as Eva's Husband who's deep into potatoness, and many more perfictly casted supporting actors. A MUST see!
The Glorious Seven (2019)
Solid Action Flick
Movies like "Bird Cage" or "A Quiet Place" are bad movies, because they avertise to be smart and special, but are so full of Plotholes and unbelieable stupid set-ups. This movie on the other hand delivers what it sells, and that simple straight forward action - I liked it.
