Poor Things (2023)
Dire sounding and weird
Just like The Favourite the soundtrack is hideously discordant and really distracts from the film. I hate it with a passion. It's a shame it seems to be the director's big thing.
The film itself is desperately weird. I did enjoy Mark Ruffalo's performance though. Something about the accent he adopts is hilarious. He clearly does not take himself too seriously and the humour he introduces helps to lift the stofgier parts of the film
I guess Emma Stone's performance is fairly extraordinary. Classic Oscar baiting. There was no way to play it other than seriously weird and she ramps this up to eleven.
Il commissario Montalbano (1999)
Don't worry about the subtitles!
I loved this program, as I love all detective stories. But apart from the whodunnit aspect there is a lot of humour and kindheartedness and warmth on display. Montalbano is a very human figure and all the normal human emotions are displayed, good and bad.
It's a bonus that the last episode has in it one of the most beautiful women in the world in Greta Scarono. Lucky Salvo!
It would be great if they could make more episodes.
