Bron Broen Season 3 (2015)

Detectives from Denmark and Sweden join forces to catch a killer when a body is discovered on a bridge that connects the two countries.

Season 3 remains consistent with the previous seasons concerning production excellence, its bleak atmosphere and colorful ensemble of protagonists, now more fully centering on Saga as its hero (and her new partner), and manages to offer a more coherent, but still complex crime mystery.

Conte d'hiver (1992)

Five years after losing touch with a summer fling, a woman has difficulty choosing between her two suitors.

Slight, but likable tale in the director's characteristic style of seemingly distanced observation; this time around with a fairy-tale-like ending.

The House That Jack Built (2018)

The story follows Jack, a highly intelligent serial killer, over the course of twelve years, and depicts the murders that really develop his inner madman.

Beyond the serial killer portrait and some truly disturbing scenes this is an excellently complex exploration of human existence and the frailty and ambiguity of art - and a self-critical reflection of von Trier's previous œuvre.

Lupita Nyong'o

Conte de printemps (1990)

An introverted young girl just reaching adulthood takes a liking to an older woman who she meets at a party and determines to match her off with her father.

Charming tale of friendship, attraction and relationships in the director's typical style of unagitated observation.

Halliwell**: "Witty, sophisticated comedy of manners."

Tanya Dziahileva

Toivon tuolla puolen (2017)

A poker-playing restaurateur and former traveling salesman befriends a group of refugees newly arrived to Finland.

Excellent personal refugee drama with relevant political implications wins with the director's typically dark style of dreary environments and his deadpan, but highly humane humor.

Our Kind of Traitor (2016)

A couple finds themselves lured into a Russian oligarch's plans to defect, and are soon positioned between the Russian Mafia and the British Secret Service, neither of whom they can trust.

Solid and entertaining spy thriller with a good ensemble manages to hold our attention without overdoing the action sequences.

Gunslinger (1956)

After her husband is gunned down, a woman takes his place temporarily as Marshal of a small Western town.

Unusual and interesting, but not really good Western sets a tough woman in its center.

Maltin*1/2: "Strange little Western..."

Der Untergang (2004)

The final secretary for Adolf Hitler tells of the Nazi dictator's final days in his Berlin bunker at the end of WWII.

Although a topnotch production and a good cast (Bruno Ganz' idiosyncratic impersonation of Adolf Hitler, however, is on the verge of parody), the movie's depiction of a precarious moment in German history is dubious in its intentions.

After re-watching: my first impression still applies.

Maltin***1/2: "Riveting dramatization...Long but thoroughly engrossing; Ganz is outstanding."
