Cave has an imaginative sense of camera placement, and she’s an expert at inserting ultra-close-up shots at precisely the right moment to induce a laugh, gasp, or shiver. Her camera is always in service of the story, rather than distracting from it with artifice.

This semi-autobiographical sketch isn’t really a story at all so much as a sweetly effervescent string of Kodachrome memories from the filmmaker’s own childhood — the childhood of someone who was born in a place without any sense of yesterday, and came of age at a time that was obsessed with tomorrow.

Das war es mit dem Kino, aber das war es noch nicht mit den massigen Mukel-Monat. Wir schwenken rüber zum Streaming. Auf Netflix bekommen wir nämlich Judd Apatows neue Komödie »The Bubble«, mit der er dieshalb, natürlich stargespickt, die Blockbuster-Filmproduktion, zumal unter Coronabedingungen, durchleuchtet. »The King of Staten Island« zeigte zuletzt erneut, dass der Mann clevere Comedy in überlänge kann, schön schräge Charaktere zu erfinden weiß und plumpe Albernheit mühelos umsegelt. Nicht der übliche Netflix-Rotz, trotz grünem Schleim.

Here is an orgiastic work of slaphappy genius that doesn’t operate like a narrative film so much as a particle accelerator — or maybe a cosmic washing machine — that two psychotic 12-year-olds designed in the hopes of reconciling the anxiety of what our lives could be with the beauty of what they are.

Gewohnt sind wir Wahnsinn auch bei Robert Eggers (»The VVitch«, »Der Leuchtturm«), doch diesmal scheint er völlig am Rad zu drehen. Er hat die Leuchtturminsel verlassen und ballert jetzt mit »The Northman« ein Wikinger-Rache-Epos irgendwo zwischen blutrünstiger Härte und phantasmagorischen Mythologie-Mash-Up ein ganz dickes Ding raus. Wenn im Trailer jemand einen Speer fängt und zurückwirft, bekomme ich schon ein wenig Angst, dass das alles etwas zu drübber werden könnte. Drehbuch wurde von Eggers selbst und dem »Lamb«-Autor verfasst, was auch gemischte Erwartungen bei mir weckt. Aber die gewaltigen Bilder und der Cast, sowie den Kredit, den Eggers mit »Der Leuchtturm« bei mir erworben hat, zwingen mich unweigerlich rein. Und wenn Eggers, eine der vermutlich vielversprechndsten Newcomer des Gegenwartskinos, ruft, dann kommen sie alle. Alexander Skarsgård, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Nicol

Filled with easter eggs for fans of any facet of Cage’s career, the filmmakers don’t place a judgment on which of his films have the most value, understanding that a favorite film is intimate and personal, and that what matters is that it does resonate on some level.

Exceptional child performers and a superbly eerie yet gritty atmosphere distinguish this darkly satisfying art-house chiller.

With Red Rocket, Sean Baker has given us an adult American pastoral, essentially a comedy, and another study of tough lives at the margin, close in spirit to his lo-fi breakthrough Tangerine.
