Maybe Alex van Warmerdam's best film so far. What is it about? Lust, passion, jealousy, murder; about lengths a woman can go to to get what she yearns for. A drama, yes; but also the funniest film I saw in years (the humor is a bit dark but it's fine with me) The three actors are excellent and Alex himself as Brandt is fantastic. A surrealist, eccentric and sad tale about family life.

Atómica
(1998)
No suspense, no drive
25 May 1999
The story bears some resemblance with the excellent Lola rennt but, boy, are these films different! The only interesting thing about Atomica is the great Bibi Andersen as... a porno star. The rest is rather boring. It starts getting slightly better towards the end, but that's it. No suspense, no drive, no fun.
