Yeah, that is pretty much the ultimate British sport :-)

One nice thing about living in Europe is that you usually have access to channels of your neighbor countries. So you can still switch to a channel with better coverage for a sport, which of course depends on the respective strengths of the countries in question. If you know a few languages, that kind expands your…

I was a bit surprised by your complaint about the coverage, until I remembered that Americans for some reason get different feeds than the rest of the world. At least I tend to enjoy most of the coverage

idk, I kind of prefer D'Angelo's style for this type of dispatches: Dowd seems to be a bit more wishy washy.

It's a shame Chastain isn't as daring as when she was still unknown. The diversity of roles, from Malick movies to thrillers and comedy… Now it's mostly stuff that feels a bit Oscar hairy, and not nearly as interesting. Just go nuts Jessica!

I think there's something wrong on the technical side of this feature, too. (Wrong order of days, doesn't show up on the main page.)

Mubi has been doing a Lav Diaz retrospective: https://mubi.com/specials/l…

The Lost City of Z: Loved the segment about the first expedition, which strikes a nice balance between matter-of-factness and lyricism. Grows increasingly tedious and less engaging afterwards. Overall still an interesting (and handsome) watch, though.

The snippets I've heard of that new Actress sound a lot like the mutated techno of his Splashz and R.I.P which is good, because those are me clear favorites of his. Although I have to say that I never liked him as much as many others did. Love seeing Sean still writing about electronic music, though.

So is this site going to cover the competition? Because Mike apparently won't? It would be a shame if they weren't, because I really liked the capsule reviews here.

Well, not even all Germans have the same accents. Regional differences can be quite large, and Austrians are quite distinct. (See also: Werner Herzog's thick Bavarian accent, which is clearly identifiable as such.)

Well, sure. But at first he doesn't say he and Frantz became friends while the latter was stationed in France. Frantz studied in Paris, and was quite a Francophile, which makes the lie easier to believe. A plot point is also that Frantz wrote to Anna in French, I think?

It's not very creative, I think. Looking at the plot summary of Broken Lullaby, it seems that the first half of Frantz is pretty much a straight adaption. Thing is, Broken Lullaby was made in the 1930s, and more than 80 years later Frantz doesn't give any new perspective. It's treatment of postwar tension is nothing…

The main issue here is that the bare story and the "twists" are simply not interesting enough. The more the film has its focus on Anna and her coping with grief, the better it is: Paula Beer is a really compelling screen presence and her character is easily the most interesting (I also liked her in-laws).
