The Best 3 Of November

With me leaving to another country I happen to spend much more hours at the cinema than I usually had the chance to. So as a result, in November I have been able to watch a lot of new films, many of which has been really good like 3:10 To Yuma and Venus. It's therefore hard to pick which ones could be seen as being the best out of the bunch, but I will try. Hopefully I will be able to keep updating this blog and keep it running in 2008 like I managed to do this year.

1. Control

Anton Corbijn's film about Ian Curtis is a very honest depiction and great tribute to the singer's life. More than just the story of Curtis, Corbijn manages to make Curtis' story representative of many young men, telling a story that could have been of any young man struggling with growing up and becoming an independent adult. Choosing to tell the story in black and white make for beautiful and very energetic images which suit the tunes of Joy Division perfectly.

2. Die Fälscher

A very suspenseful film that really touches you deeply because of the period of the story, a time that is part of our real history. Stefan Ruzowitzky has made a film about the Second World War, but besides all of the stories already told this one still really hits you hard. It's a beautiful film, but also one that is very hard to watch, because of it realistic look. It's a very strong film and one that will haunt you long time after seeing it.

3. Death Proof

Death Proof is great entertainment and real fun, all in Quentin Tarantino's famous style. Dirty talk, feet, and loud colours, it's a piece of cinema that feels fresh and cool like a piece of bubblegum. The characters make this film great and altogether Death Proof provides for a great ride with a really cool ending, paying tribute to all those of the genre that came before it.
