På billedet ser du Maria og mig, der gør klar til sommerferien.
Derfor har vi endelig besluttet os for, hvad filmtemaet for sommeren skal være. Det bliver “The summer of the 1950s!”
Vi starter i aften med Yasujirō Ozu mesterværk “Tokyo Story” fra 1953. En af mine all-time favoritfilm.
Næste gang vælger Maria.... #film #cinemaston #noir -
A comedy about a man trying to keep his late father’s pub operating in Crawley (it’s near London; don’t worry about it) as well as maintain his marriage and family life.
There is one plot that reflects aspects of the ‘Hotel Inspectors’ episode of Fawltey Towers, but otherwise it’s solid story telling. The characters seem real and loveable, which is a tricky balance with these things.
Still, the intensity of conflict and acceleration of pacing is lacking for my tastes.
Seeing a Sri Lankan create and star in a sit-com is a wonderful thing, however, and I’m pleased to have seen this. More representation like this of other cultures, please; us white people are past boring IMHO.
Darned good.

My #Letterboxd #LastFourWatched for this week are
Angel (1984) dir. Robert Vincent O’Neil - sleazy 80s noir about an LA High School student by day and Hollywood Boulevard sex worker by night facing a serial killer
Violent Cop (1989) dir. Takeshi Kitano - Kitano’s debut about a corrupt cop has all the silence and violence that he and other directors in Japan and Asia would become known for
976-Evil (1988) dir. Robert Englund - grimy late 80s revenge of the nerds punk house horror directed by Freddy Krueger
Fatal Attraction (1987) dir. Adrian Lyne - slick 80s misogynistic thriller from advertising director and anti-feminist Adrian Lyne and anti-feminist actor Michael Douglas that captured the zeitgeist on a scratched 35mm print
