Prague-based movie reviews, news and other trash
A very mediocre attempt at reigniting the Millenium franchise, The Girl in the Spider’s Web is void of passion, meaning and suspense. A dull and almost lifeless action movie that is a tremendous waste of talent. As a standalone film it’s bad, but as a follow-up to a David Fincher movie, it’s terrible.
The Prague International Film Festival aka Febiofest will celebrate a landmark 25 years this year with a class selection of new films, as well as some golden oldies. In addition to the festival’s epic programme, there will also be workshops, masterclasses and a host of other noteworthy events. Tickets and passes are now on sale.
An unconventional thriller that relies on intense realism and first class source dialogue from the play by David Harrower. Rooney Mara is an unstoppable force.
One of the biggest and best international film festivals in the Czech Republic is back in Prague for it’s 24th year. Febio Fest boasts an outstanding programme of films divided into unique categories, all screened at CineStar cinemas in Prague. This year the festival pays tribute to both current and classic, not to mention hosting an esteemed list of well-known filmmakers and other guests.
Contemporary director Terrence Malick (Tree of Life, Knight of Cups) is back with Song to Song, a romantic drama set to open South by Southwest this year.
Writer/director David Lowery’s new film A Ghost Story was all the talk at the recent Sundance Film Festival. Lowery managed to keep the film completely under wraps until months after production was completed.
The teaser trailer just dropped for the much anticipated sci-fi dystopian drama The Discovery. A film that was revived by Netflix after it was thrown in the reject bin. Don’t we love Netflix for that?
