They Make Good Films These Days (Just Not in Hollywood) - #21

I have been waiting a long time for this Danish masterpiece. The Hunt has finally been released on DVD.


 The wait is over. Rent or buy this film ASAP.

Mads, who has made more than one appearance in my They Make Good Films These Days list, won best actor at Cannes for this performance.

They Still Make Good Films These Days (Just Not In Hollywood) - #16

Just saw the German film Antibodies.





Norman Reedus is the very first character in the very first scene. Apparently he understands German, but he has no lines at all. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would think it was some kind of plot to get the attention of Boondock Saints and Walking Dead fans. He is only in that one scene. Anyone looking for more of him will be disappointed, if that's all they are looking for.


The film itself is absolutely incredible. It will not disappoint anyone with any sensible interest in psychological thrillers. Some will compare this film to Silence of the Lambs. A cop questions the most prolific serial killer in "the united Fatherland" for help with an unsolved case.

I will go so far as to say it is an improvement on Anthony Hopkins' masterpiece.

So sayeth the King of Funny Faces.
