I had to see more movies from the director of “Dirty Mind”, Pieter Van Hees, and bought this straight from play.com since I couldn’t find any suitable subtitles to this horror/drama flick.
It starts up interesting, with references to David Lynch and Roman Polanski. It is about a 22 year old runner, who meets an interesting archer and falls in love with him. She gets sick and has to be away from running for some weeks, and during that time she tries to figure out what happened to her boyfriend’s last tenant, who once mystically disappeared.
The cinematography is very beautiful, and the soundtrack is powerful and suits the mystical story. The main character girl is very cute and we get to se her naked a bunch of times.
Other good shit: disgusting scenes (a lot of puking, gruesome wounds etc) and an exciting ending.
One of the bad things in this film is probably the script. The story develops too slowly, and the movie feels much longer than its actual length.
My rating: 7,5/10
A Nyomozo / The Investigator (2008)
This Hungarian thriller was very clever and good.
“Malkav” works in a hospital styling and “finish the look” on dead people. His mother is ill, and he wants to earn some quick money so he can afford her an operation in Sweden. He is offered a job that is to kill another man.
My attention was caught at the very beginning of the film by its great cinematography, smart and funny dialogs and the exciting story. There are a lot of pretty actresses here, macabre deaths (from different “patients” of Malkav), and reminds me a bit like movies from Polanski, Aki Kaurismäki (the cold atmosphere) and the Poirot movies (with the characters and the investigations). As said, really great thriller, this deserves more attention!
My rating: 9,5/10
