Protectors, The (TV Series) (2008): 3/5 for Series 1 – Original title: Livvagterne . Good treatment of the immigrant theme.
Lives of Others, The (2006): 4/5 – Very good movie. 80 years later, we have changed our masters for a handful of IT oligarchs doing the same for a profit.
Mostly Martha (Bella Martha) (2002): 4/5 – Original title: "Bella Martha". Beautiful human interactions, with some light moments without falling in comedy.
Decision To Leave (2022): 4/5 – Original Aspect ratio 2.39 : 1 ; Original Title:"Heojil kyolshim"; Confusing at time, but certainly worth a second viewing.; DVD $29.95 | Blu-Ray $34.95
Back to Burgundy (Ce qui nous lie) (2017): 4/5 – Good insight about wine making culture; relevant to NZ intent to create great wines.
Tokyo Story (1953): 4/5 – Nicely told everyday Japanese people story, pre–influence of american culture era. Noticeable static camera work at tatami level.
Merchant of Venice, The (2004): 4/5 – Pacino 10/10. Sumptuous treatment.
Harmonium in my Memory, The (1999): 1/5 – :(
Scandal (Shubun) (1950): 4/5 – Excellent lesser Kurosawa. Still Relevant 75 years later. The disease of post–WW2 American influence goes on with current social media tycoons taking the relay.
Secret in Their Eyes, The (El Secreto de sus Ojos) (2009): 4/5 – A real nugget.
