Darbareye Elly (2009)
Briliant movie!
I have a feeling that the plot is only a pretext to show (and criticise) Iranian society. Beautifully done with a lot of symbolism and great acting. The film reveals a lot about the social mechnisms and the mentality of modern Iranian men and women and does it in stages, until finally the whole truth is told. It touches such subjects as truth and lies, honour, reltionships in the family, responsibility... 'About Elly ' is not really about Elly but about all other characters in the movie. Golshifteh Farahani's acting is fenomenal. Asghar Farhadi one more time has proved to be a genial director!
The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021)
A big mistake
A big mistake was not to use Billie Holliday's real voice. With all due respect, Ms Day is not even close to Billie... the plot is chaotic, characters poorly described and acrtng, well not superb. A mediocre movie about a great star.
Welcome to Chechnya (2020)
Important document
Strong, important document about violation of human rights in Czecznia in the context of LGBT community. Everybody should see it. The documentary shows heroic efforts and risks that some people take to help those in need. I could see similarity between the situation of gays in Czecznia now and Jews in Europe in 1930s.
