REMEBER TO WATCH „REMEMBER”!



Films about the fate of Jews wore out during the course of time, not bringing anything new to the genre in past 25 years. As for the serious flicks on this subject, those dealing with the question of revenge against the Nazis were even more rarer, so it is quite expected for a average viewer to miss out a hidden gem, „Remember”.

The thing that attracts the most when it comes to the crew and script of Atom Egoyan's latest movie is the overall sense of unpretentiousness. Slow rhythm, additionally slowed down by phenomenal Christopher Plummer and his character's repetitive dementia will soon form a very original story about finding the notorious Auschwitz block fuhrer, Otto Valisch. This unusual adventure will make a full circle around four potential Nazis who settled down in USA, culminating with one of those memorable twists at the very end that make „Remember” the most original Jew/Nazi flick in decades.

„Remember” is a great small movie, with some serious acting and a memorable script and you should definitely watch it.

INFERNAL SCRIPT



Little do people know that the script of „Infernal affairs” about double agents in police and mafia that hunt each other represented the basis for copy-paste reuse in much acclaimed „The departed” that brought long sought „Oscar” to famous Martin Scorcese.

Hong Kong thriller may not have such a huge production behind it, and Andy Lau may not reach the heights of DiCaprio, but this is after all a really innovative movie with a couple of really powerful twists, especially towards the end.

Although „The Departed” is still a better movie, people should know that the crew of „Infernal affairs” did it first.
