‘Malcolm & Marie’: A Promising Premise With Disappointing Results
Sam Levinson's latest film can't keep up with the excellence of its performances.
Grüningers Fall
The Grüninger case from Switzerland. This is a documentary about a police officer who showed civil courage back in the forties when he led many refugees fleeing German Nazi terror immigrate to Switzerland, although he was advised not to do so. Grüninger later was sued by the state of Switzerland, lost his job and died in the early seventies. The film constructs a just lawsuit with eye-witnesses and thus fully legitimates what Grüninger did.
