'die ehe der maria braun' (1st part) wiped me out. stupendous performance by hanna schygulla as maria. heart-breaking, as hard as it tries to be life-affirming.
'lola' felt more superficial and artificial but it's the afterglow impression of the thing that is catching up with me now. it's almost too big and complicated to be comprehended within the time it takes to watch it, so your mind is left struggling to catch up for ages afterwards. sorting through the layers;
it's about a cabaret singer and whore.
no, it's about germany coming to terms with free-market capitalism following her recovery from ww2.
no, it's about how people embrace the security and limited conveniences of slavery and prostitution (in the broadest sense) and give up the pursuit of real freedom, with all its inherent risks and uncertainties. the further i get away from the film the bigger it gets.
was going to start watching 'veronika voss' (3rd part) tonight, but my head is still bursting with 'lola'. so am going to watch a documentary about fassbinder instead. he blows my mind.
if you like european film and haven't given fassbinder a lot of time to date, get started. he's a giant. maria braun is a good one to start. petra von kant good too.
Awesome film. Not a great film, but most entertaining.
..it's shit
Ant-man , better than I thought it would be .
In fact I think it is the best Marvel film of the recent phase (Iron Man3 ,Thor2 , Winter Soldier , Age of Ultron) .
Man of Steel . fairly enjoyable apart from Russell Crowe , who just gets on my tits .
Daniel Day Lewis acts out of his skin though.
As expected - very well-made, story somewhat simplified and dramaticised (the reality was probably much more tedious and stressful), Benedict Cumberbatch excellent, Keira Knightley irritating, Charles Dance does his usual prickly arrogant character very well, everyone else competent but not that memorable.
7-8/10.
I think Eddie Redmayne did probably deserve to beat Cumberbatch for the Oscar.

Very straightforward rock doc if, largely, sad.
I thought both he and Diane Lane did a top job , best I've seen from either of them for some time ,Cavill was good , Amy Adams was ok but the best by far was Michael Shannon .
I hope they find some way of using both Shannon and Costner in future films .
