Last Saturday we crossed the border at 10 am, watched 3 movies in 2 cinemas and got back home at 3 am. Crazy? Yes. Worth it? Mmm... yes.
The movies:
The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo dir. Niels Arden Oplev 2009
OSS 117 Lost in Rio dir. Michel Hazanavicius 2009
The Human Centipede dir. Tom Six 2009
Three very different movies from all around Europe, Sweden, France and the Netherlands respectively. Three different genres, drama, comedy and very twisted horror. One thing in common, Nazi villains (a Nazilike German in Human Centipede).
What does this say? Are we still so obsessed/scared by the horrors of World War II that we have to be reminded of them constantly? Should we?
Truth is, each of the films is successful in what it sets out to do and how they make use of their villains.
I'll be posting on each film individually. (Hopefully soon).
