Prague-based movie reviews, news and other trash
Taika Waititi’s new film is a creative take on WWII misery and is absolutely hilarious at times, as it is upsetting, and unfortunately that does mean it’s a little tonally off, but its strength is in its children – they drive this film. And the debut performance of Roman Griffin Davis as the lovable Nazi-obsessed ‘Jojo’ is one of the most memorable of the year.
If you haven’t heard already, every year Bio Oko presents the Holešovice Film Advent, a dazzling list of recent and classic films, both Czech and international, to rescue you from your annual winter sh-tstorm of depression and cold.
Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Life Aquatic) has released a Christmas short film / commercial for H&M called Come Together. Distinctive colour palettes, retro set, perfectly symmetrical, plus his tall and lanky regular Adrien Brody – Anderson has been sick all over this commercial and it’s lovely.
