I have no idea how you found this film, but it was produced in Berlin, and seems to be VERY low-budget. Most of the people on IMDB have no other credits. (Or none, of the ones I checked.) Sounds like a lampoon, a la Rocky Horror. I shouldn't worry about it. You obviously don't have to download it from Amazon.

I saw "Challengers" today, Luca Guadagnino's film which is more or less about tennis. No, it's actualyl a story about a love triangle, which uses tennis as a structure. When I saw the trailer, I thought it looked like a banal Netflix film, a romance with a tennis theme. But I do like the director. So we tried it, at the theater.

IMO, it's no better than the trailer looked. It's overlong (at 2h 10m,) and the structure is risible. Josh O'Connor and Zendaya were very good, IMO. You could enjoy it, streaming, but, since this is a tennis forum, i have to say that the fake tennis scenes were incredibly boring. Apparently, it was mostly CGI, and you feel it. I can happily watch 4+ hours of real and fascinating tennis, but I couldn't take 5 minutes this fake tennis. If they'd just made it about the love triangle, and tightened it up, it could have been much better.

finally been trying to watch The Irishman. As a De Niro, Paccino, Pesci and Scorcese fan I've been trying to find the time to watch it. I can't understand it, I watch 30mins, then find myself getting up and doing things. It's just not capturing my attention!

I had the same problem, and finally gave up.

I really enjoyed “Anatomy of a fall” which is a clinical study of a murder trial, a woman accused of killing her husband. Man falls from the top floor of his French Chalet home, the only "witness" is the couple's blind ten year old child. All their personal grievances, resentments, competition, guilt, etc are brought to life.

What's fascinating about the film is that it's more a study of marriage/family dynamics, what is heard or overhead of a couples personal conversations, would any of us pass muster if that came into public scrutiny? Sandra Huller is remarkable as the fairly stoic German wife and I can see how she got an Oscar nom as best actress. The marriage was messy and the film while it almost seems documentary and dry, conveys well the underlying tensions that bubble up within a marriage.

I cited this film earlier. I think it's terrific. Sandra Huller was amazing, as she was in Zone of Interest, also a really complex and interesting film.

I watched Anatomy of a Fall a few days ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sandra Huller really delivered outstanding performance. It's interesting how they do the trial in France. Lot's of talking, not sure how real all of it is, but doesn't matter. They went to every small detail about their relationship and we find many secrets about the marriage as the story develops. I find myself on her side.

I have Zone of Interest and I plan to watch it.

Watched Capernaum also, but this one is from 2018. Very touching and powerful film.

The LIghthouse from 2019--Has anybody here seen that one? Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson*in it and it is definitely unique experience. If anyone has seen it, I would love to hear your comments on. It is nice to see a black and white film and I greatly enjoyed the seafaring language from the late 1800s, but it is one I film. I get that you could see it as a metaphor and it is rich with symbolism, but when a story! Definitely not a film easily forgotten. They actually characterized it as a horror film, but I do not view it is one of horror. It is dispensable and eerie--very "atmospheric". I look forward to what anyone hearing last seen it thinks about the film.

I watched this film with my wife a couple of years ago. Very strange picture - one I think you could draw various different conclusions from. My reading was more of a Jekyll and Hyde Alter Ego metaphor. Like you, not one to categorize it as horror, more of a multi-layered mindbender.

^^^ Thanks britbox--sorry for all the misspellings. Lord have mercy--need to type rather than dictate I see.

this was a great scene. When I saw the clip I rushed to watch the movie. I wasn't disappointed!

 

[shawnbm]

Great scene

I really enjoyed Rick Linklater's "Hit Man." I saw it in the theatre, but it's already on Netflix.

 

[Federberg]

what did folks think of Federer: Twelve Final Days. I'll confess some of the moments were a bit uncomfortable for me. Some of the player interactions, and moments that were dripping with pathos. I'm too English!!!

But I did enjoy watching the moments with his family and close team. I'm not built to watch stuff that's supposed to make me cry. Ugh!

 

[Federberg]

^It has to be said, if there was one thing I took from that.. it was damn!! Mirka is absolutely gorgeous. And as a man when you look for wife..you're dreaming you'll find someone just like her

 

[Federberg]

brilliant!

 

[Moxie]

brilliant!

Pure genius. And Matt Damon told the story probably better than Nicholson could have.
