Movies Watched -- The Teachers' Lounge (2023)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In German. 98 minute running time, so the perfect length. I wasn’t super thrilled with this. It’s a political picture. Germany is really grappling with being a multi-cultural society now. And things are getting more litigious. One thing you can say for sure is that the German public school system is NOT underfunded.

Makes sense that the director is a Turk who was born and raised in Berlin. Leonie Benesch, the star of this movie, played Eva in The White Ribbon, which is a great movie. The Teachers’ Lounge was a John Farr reco, but I do not second it…

Movies Watched -- Birth (2004)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

100 minute running time so the perfect length … I’m a huge fan of Jonathan Glazer, but had never seen his second movie, Birth. It is a weird one and the mainstream critics HATED it, but I didn’t mind it, in fact I liked it, it’s definitely NOT terrible, and I’ve added a copy to my permanent collection. I love Nicole Kidman, she’s super talented. It’s a love story, but a twisted one. I would recommend it if you like Glazer and are a completist like me. Green-go!
