True Detective (2014)
4th season not convincing enough, a bit shallow
If I exclude great casting, excellent acting and a good choice of setting, ambience, for the latest season, I unwillingly admit that the Night Country didn't blow my mind as much as the first season, or even other series from which I expected less, but got a better and more convincing thriller story. The season has all the elements to be great, but it is not. A lot of questions don't get their answers, there is a constant repeating of certain sequences and some characters appear for no reason, so it seems. All together, it gave me the impression that the creator of the series wanted something, but he himself did not know exactly what and where he was going with the plot, or characters. In some moments, it was not so interesting to watch, but again, the acting of the main characters is outstanding and they kept me until the end. For sure, the chemistry between the main characters was perfect, but I realized that without that, this season would be quite average. Worth watching, but I doubt I will be too excited about the next season.
Bastarden (2023)
An exceptional film
In a pile of all sorts of (mostly bad) films, a film like this emerges, without an agenda, without forced scenes and characters, a real film and a real story, which does not lose its depth and essence from beginning to end. Fantastic movie. Finally, to watch something meaningful. Mads Mikkelsen masterfully portrays an honorable man, consistent in everything, a strong-willed man dedicated to his goal, in which he stronlgy believes, but not because he is arrogant or unrealistic, but because he possesses knowledge and abilities. In addition to being a brave, modest and disciplined man, Ludwig Kahlen is an emotional man who makes essential and human choices, facing great challenges, losses and rewards during his difficult life journey. A historical saga with strong characters, without unnecessary dialogues and with a lot of emotions. Bravo.
