The Northman (2022)

A Viking prince vows revenge for his father's death.

'The Northman' is an action film.. that's quite artistic. Stylized to the point of satiety, it manages to hold the viewer's attention, without forcing them to choose a side justice belongs to, merely just suggesting favorites. Well made, with a cast of surprising names, The Northman is a welcome choice.

Director:  Robert Eggers   

With: Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Ethan Hawke, Anya Taylor-Joy, Willem Dafoe

Rating: 8/10

The Lighthouse (2019)

Doi paznici de far in New England in timpul anilor 1890 isi tin companie incercand din greu sa isi retina un oarecare echilibru mental.

Un film drama horror cutremurator. Avand la baza diferite fapte reale din diverse evenimente ale trecutului, The Lighthouse e practic e o reproducere artistica a actului de a deveni nebun in izolare si conditii grele. Povestea e bine scrisa si intretinuta eficient de raportul celor doi actori ce impresioneaza iar cu partituri foarte grele. Vizual, desi alb negru pe un raport de aspect de 1.19 : 1, este violent si foarte descriptiv emotional, sentimentele tumultoase fiind la ordinea zilei.

Regia:  Robert Eggers    

Cu: Robert Pattinson, Willem Dafoe, Valeriia Karaman, Logan Hawkes

Rating: 8/10
