I started Parasite first and finished it last as I broke off in the middle, at the point where the film changes. There is at that point an expectation of what is going to occur, thankfully, something else happens. I particularly enjoyed the ending of this film. Is it as good as all the fuss that has been made of it? Perhaps not, but it is a different sort of thriller. Worth the time.
Parasite, a film where a house is a central character.
The Father is a film that at my age is somewhat scary to watch. Olivia Colman is again fabulous, playing the daughter trying to reconcile the guilt of having a life for herself. Anthony Hopkins is frighteningly authentic as her dad. Don't miss this, it is extraordinarily good.
The Hand of God is not about football, although Maradona is central to the tale. Beautifully filmed but ultimately flawed, it's really a bit of a vanity project, something of an autobiography. Having watched this we both thought we would like to visit Naples, it looks stunning, but design and the visual image are much stronger than the story.
