Filmjahr 2008
Concerning films, 2008 was a lame year. I watched only 33 films...
Category: best films 2008
1. eastern promises, david cronenberg
2. le scaphandre et le papillon, julian schnabel
3. in bruges, martin mcdonagh
4. no country for old men, ethan&joel coen
5. i'm not there, todd haynes
6. sweeney todd, tim burton
7. flammen og citronen, ole christan madsen
Category: remarkable - exceptional performances
there will be blood, paul thomas anderson.
strong film, but in my opinion it's missing something, it's not complete. daniel day lewis's daniel plainview was the best acting performance in 2008! but that is one of reasons why i have problems with the film: it's a one-man show, an amazing one!!
the dark night, christopher nolan.
overall, a weak film, the story is a bit 'busy' with two bad characters. BUT: heath ledger was outstanding!! what a loss
things we lost in fire, susanne bier.
i expected much more of susanne bier, but to my disappointment the film was weak. benicio del toro's performance of a drug addict was pretty amazing, watching him caused almost physical pains in me!!
Category: disappointing - annoyingly disappointing
michael clayton, tony gilroy
la fille coupée en deux, claude chabrol
my blueberry nights, wong kar wai
elizabeth. the golden age, shekhar kapur

no country for old men- dieser film hat mich noch nachhaltig tagelang im geiste beschäftigt und ich weiß nicht warum.ich fand den echt strange, aber das mag ich ja. andreas zwang mich zum gucken, und schlief ein, während ich feuer gefangen hatte und allein gruselnd bis ende guckte ;)

and i agree a) dark knight had issues. i thought it was good. but not 'iron man" good! :) and b) there will be blood was totally a one-man show. good but needed more.
