 ISLE OF DOGS |  THE SILENT REVOLUTION |
ISLE OF DOGS ★★★★☆
D: Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, Fantastic Mr Fox, The Darjeeling Limited, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket).
S: Bryan Cranston, Koyu Rankin, Edward Norton, Liev Schreiber, Bill Murray, Bob Balaban, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson, Kunichi Nomura, Tilda Swinton, Ken Watanabe, Akira Ito, Greta Gerwig, Akira Takayama, Frances McDormand, F. Murray Abraham, Courtney B. Vance, Yojiro Noda, Fisher Stevens, Mari Natsuki, Nijiro Murakami, Yoko Ono, Frank Wood, Harvey Keitel.
Witty and stunningly animated. An adventure with a perpetually relevant allegory. Too neat an ending, but a minor quibble. Puts EARLY MAN in the shade.
THE SILENT REVOLUTION (Das schweigende Klassenzimmer) ★½☆☆☆
D: Lars Kraume.
S: Leonard Scheicher, Tom Gramenz, Lena Klenke, Jonas Dassler, Florian Lukas, Jördis Triebel, Michael Gwisdek, Ronald Zehrfeld, Burghart Klaußner.
A TV-movie-of-the-week look at East Germany five years before the Wall. Wooden direction, clunky acting, and woeful dialogue.
THE BOOKSHOP ★½☆☆☆
D: Isabel Coixet (Endless Night, Learning to Drive, Elegy, My Life Without Me).
S: Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy, Patricia Clarkson.
Sub-CHOCOLAT. Dialogue and acting as if from a radio play. Stilted and jarring.
