The heat persists throughout the day, and even at night it does not relent. Outside it is more pleasant, yet inside the house it is still nearly 30°C. On the late evening of such a hot day, I set out to take a walk and escape the trapped heat within my home. Twilight transitions into...
Review of the Movie „The Father“
What is life worth when the realities in our minds no longer correspond to actual reality? It must be a terrifying and profoundly sad experience to be helplessly at the mercy of a world one no longer understands. To feel as though everyone has conspired against you and that you alone possess a clear mind...
Review of the Movie „Nomadland“
See You Down The Road I watched this film at a pivotal time in my life. A time when I am transitioning from a nomadic existence to a fixed place. Though my nomadic life looked different. I never lived in a van, slept in a car once or twice. We could always stay in Airbnbs,...
Review of the Series „The Investigation“
This miniseries moved something in me, and that is what I want to write about. It will probably serve no great purpose, but the thoughts stirred by those unsettled feelings need to get out. So here they are. Even the almost incomprehensible brutality of the crime surfaces only with great caution. But that is precisely...
Review of the Documentary „The Milwaukee Cannibal“
I can hardly contain my enthusiasm, yet the right words don't seem to come to mind that would lend color to all these feelings glowing within me. So I remain with the banal, with the simple. I stay with the kind of description for which I have words. That will have to do. The enthusiasm...
Review of the Movie „I, Tonya“
It seems more like a satirical interpretation than a true biopic. Much remains untold, but what is shown are presumably the highlights of this life. A life on ice that unfortunately failed to captivate me – I nevertheless watched it to the end. The most interesting character was the mother, in her coldness and ruthlessness,...
Review of the Movie „All Your Faces“
Moving. Authentic. Hopeful. That's how I experienced this film, this little gem I encountered by chance. At its core, it's about the principle of restorative justice. The film is definitely an advocate of it and portrays a positive process of possible forgiveness, at the end of which inner peace can emerge. And with it, the...
Review of the Movies „Dune: Part One and Two“
I haven't read any of the books, so I was able to simply immerse myself in the sci-fi story. I'm not disappointed, but not completely thrilled either. The quality of the images is outstanding, the atmosphere fantastic. What impressed me most is how technology is used by people in these worlds to navigate their environment...
Jon Batiste Mantra
Be still and know that I am God Be still and know that I am Be still and know that I Be still and know that Be still and know Be still and Be still Be I like this mantra from Jon Batiste. He talked about it on the Tim Ferriss Podcast. I use it...
Review of the Movie „The Unforgivable“
Seeing Sandra Bullock in a drama was unusual. I didn't expect that from her. She surprised me in a positive way. Not only her—but especially her—was outstanding. The whole film captivated me from the beginning and didn't let go until the end. And that's exactly what I like about the film. Many films of this...
