Nico, 1988 (2017)

 

The last year of singer Nico's life, as she tours and grapples with addiction and personal demons.

Remarkable bio-pic successfully focuses on the last year of the singer Nico/Christa Päffgen, a complex, controversial, but also fascinating character with Trine Dyrholm giving a breathtakingly convincing performance.

Au poste! (2018)

 

Police officers at a station must solve a murder case.

Madcap, nearly surrealist comedy surprises with swift absurd twists and is sometimes hilariously funny, but sometimes a bit irritating as well.

Nuit et brouillard (1956)

 

The history of Nazi Germany's death camps of the Final Solution and the hellish world of dehumanization and death contained inside.

(Meanwhile) classic, important early documentary is a solemn, thoughtful and stirring depiction of the Nazis, presenting shocking footage that (at the time) was largely not yet realized by its audience.

Halliwell*: "An official film of great dignity."

La jetée (1962)

 

The story of a man forced to explore his memories in the wake of World War III's devastation, told through still images.

A masterpiece short film tells its haunting and mesmerizing sci-fi story in exquisitely composed images and is enormously effective with a mind-boggling ending.
