A group of teenagers celebrate Labour day at a remote house near the lake. Filip disappears, Sofija longs for a touch, Isidora runs away to forget, and Alisa wants to spend a beautiful day. In search of something they’ve been missing, everybody seems to be forgetting about Filip.
Growing up without a dad, I got a lot of my fatherly advice from the prototypes I saw on the silver screen. It’s these characters and films that gave me a glimpse into a dynamic I had never known but also made me realize that I was missing out. Here are my top 10 paternal films.
This is not a slavery story, it is a freedom story. The viewers only see Harriet as a slave for the first few minutes of the film. To me, it felt like watching the origin story of a superhero…which is both good and bad.
“It's not ghosts. It's not supernatural. It's... It's America. And it's everywhere.”
What can I say about this Will Ferrell/Julia Louis-Dreyfus-led “dramedy?” Well, the comedy part of Downhill is completely non-existent. And I should have known that the film was a flop when I walked into an empty theater at a prime time on a Friday night.
It is as bad as your remember, and you are fortunate if you've never watched it. Keep it that way!
I highly recommend Kill Bill: Volume 2. In classic Tarantino fashion, specific sections of the film are a tad too long, but overall, it’s a wonderful piece of escapist fiction.
