DJANGO ★½☆☆☆
D: Etienne Comar.
S: Reda Kateb, Cécile De France, Maximilien Poullein, Ulrich Brandhoff.
Turgid, pedestrian music biopic. Lacks insight and context. Calling lead a genius is not enough, show us why. Is no AMADEUS.
BARRAGE ★★☆☆☆
D: Laura Schroeder.
S: Lolita Chammah, Thémis Pauwels, Isabelle Huppert, Charles Müller, Elsa Houben, Marja-Leena Juncker, Luc Schiltz.
Three generations of mothers-daughters starts promisingly, but then pads out too much of runtime.
BYE BYE GERMANY (Es war einmal in Deutschland…) ★★★½☆
D: Sam Garbarski (Irina Palm).
S: Moritz Bleibtreu, Antje Traue, Mark Ivanir, Tim Seyfi, Hans Löw, Anatol Taubman, Pál Mácsai, Vaclav Jakoubek.
War crimes. Post-traumatic stress. Narrative layers. Dark humour. Unshowily engages.
