CoraSmith Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 The Page Turner (La Tourneuse de pages) is a French drama about the tension between classical musicians. The experienced Catherine Frot plays a professional pianist; the young Belgian Déborah François plays the failed pianist who becomes her page turner. The stress and conflicts of the environment are well depicted, with the many hours of practice and the stage fright. The characters are not what they seem. The pianist turns out not to be so confident, the page turner not so innocent. [Screenshot in the previous post.] Grbavica ("Gr-bá-vi-tsa") is a post-war drama by the Bosnian director Jasmila Zbanic. The title refers to a district in the capital Sarajevo where women were systematically abused during the Bosnian Civil War in the nineties. A single mother tells her daughter that her late father was a war hero or shahid. The daughter will find out that the truth is more complicated. It's an intense portrayal of people trying to rebuild their life after a traumatic period. After the Wedding (Efter Brylluppet) is a family drama by Susanne Bier. Her style is realistic but emotional. Mads Mikkelsen plays an idealist who founded a foster house in India. In need of money he returns to Denmark to visit a businessman who might make a donation. This leads to the unraveling of a family secret. Sidse Babett Knudsen (Borgen) plays the wife of the businessman. After his Hollywood days Paul Verhoeven returned to the Netherlands to make Black Book (Zwartboek). It's a spy thriller set during the occupation in World War II. Carice van Houten excells in the role of a Jewish revue singer who dyes her hair blond to infiltrate in the Sicherheitsdienst - the security service of the Nazis. It's hard to find out who can be trusted in this suspense story with several plot twists. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
