This film is about women's emancipation at the beginning of the Second World War and is set during the making of a propaganda film. I had heard many promising things about it and was a bit afraid that I would be disappointed. The chances are that your expectations will be too high when their only raving reviews. But I can say with certainty that in this case this did not happen. I absolutely loved this film. Gemma Arterton and Sam Claflin The story is well constructed. The film has two goals; One is that in the end a propaganda film has to be finished and two; Love has to conquer all. Of course, there are various obstacles to be overcome on both fronts. Now that I have said this you may think this will be become a predictable story, but nothing is less true and this movie has an original course and an equally original ending. It’s fun to see how a propaganda film is made and what problems arise. Gemma Arterton All actors and actresses are all fantastic. Gem

Do you recognise this? You are going to watch a movie because your favorite actor or actress is in it, it's a horrible movie, but you wait patiently until she (in my case an actress) finally pops up after one and a half hour, she’s in just one scene and has only 7 lines? In short, Centurion is about a small group of Roman soldiers who flee for the Picts. Dominic West The most gruesome fights are interspersed with magnificent shots in bird's-eye view of the Romans fleeing in the snowy landscape. Because these shots are filmed with a drone, they remind me of a nature documentary. A greater contrast can not exist because the massacre is so violent and so graphically depicted. Swords go through heads like a knife through butter and spears go through torsos as a cocktail pick through a slice of liverwurst. Blood and chopped off limbs fly around. It’s just nauseating. Olga Kurylenko This is not the only problem with this movie. Because of this brutal massacre I

Alfred Jones (Ewan McGregor), a in fisheries specialist scientist, is approached by Harriet (Emily Blunt), the charming assistant of a rich Sheikh, to work on a project to make salmon fishing in Yemen possible. A ridiculous plan that Alfred initially does not want to do, but he is forced to cooperate by the ruthless spokesman of the Prime Minister (Kirstin Scott Thomas) because it could improve relations between Yemen and Great Britain. When Alfreds wife (Rachael Stirling) says to Alfred after intercourse, 'Well, that should do you for a while’, you know what kind of marriage they have and when Harriet's boyfriend has to go on a Mission to Afghanistan you can guess how the movie will end. But fortunately, the film is mostly about the spawning of salmon and not the romantic escapades of the main characters. In addition to the problems that nature brings, the interference of politicians and local people does not make it easier to make this project a success. Enough obstac

Two friends both live a double life. If their double lives start to intertwine and they fall in love with women who are obsessed with the name Earnest, the problems begin. Oscar Wilde (1889) This comedy of Oscar Wilde was first performed in London in February 1895. It was the sequel to three previous 'social comedies', namely 'Lady Windemere's Fan', 'A Woman of No Importance' and 'An Ideal Husband', which all are set in English society. Of these four plays, ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ is by far the best known and it is seen as Wildes best drama. It would be the last play of Wilde, because it became known that he was homosexual and he would be sentenced to imprisonment for it not much later. Although the play initially was very successful, due to this scandal, after 86 shows the curtain came down. Although definitive? No, the play was regularly performed since October 1895 and many films have been made of it since then. A llan A

Scene from 'Un meurtre en sommeil' In 2009, the French decided to make their own adaptations of Agatha Christie's detective stories. They do this (the series continues and the filming for the new season is to be broadcast in 2018 is being filmed as I write this) entirely in their own way. Poirot and Miss Marple have been replaced by the comic police duo Larosère and Lampion. This is not the only thing they have changed in the stories. They have changed almost everything to Christie's classics except the basics of the stories. In some episodes it was difficult for me to see which Agatha Christie story they used. Antoine Duléry in 'Je ne suis pas coupable' They also made the stories more modern. For example, inspector Lampion is gay and in one story he has to dress himself as a woman to catch the killer. Normally, I do not like this kind of dressing up because it often results in a cheap kind of humour and I just find this embarrassing. But that is
