It took a while, but I've seen the first films of 2019. I'll promise to report more frequently this time. Anyway, 2019 started great. The favourite ♥♥♥♥♥
imdb trailer A period drama, with the occasional absurd dry comedy thrown in. Apparently about a real British Queen (Anne). I wasn't familiar with her, and some of the humour threw me off and made me think it was purely fictional. I read up about it afterwards, and it seems it's ever so loosely based on the real Queen Anne, but the director (the same one as from The Lobster), took plenty liberties in order to tell his story. It's about poor Queen Anne, who's both physically and mentally less and less fit for the role of Queen, and gets manipulated both by her old friend / lover and a newcomer. All three ladies, Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, and especially Emma Stone (♥♥♥), are great. Cold War ♥♥♥♥♥
imdb trailer A Polish tragic love story about two flawed people who are totally mismatched, and despite the circumstances, can't help but fall in love. Set against the backdrop of the 50s, first in Poland with the Communist regime in charge, but Paris is another big setting. Bittersweet, and visually stunning.
