  • Susanna Nicchiarelli – Nico, 1988 (2017)

    2011-2020DramaItalySusanna Nicchiarelli

    The last year of singer Nico’s life, as she tours and grapples with addiction and personal demons.
    Quote:
    Everyone involved in the creation of ‘Nico, 1988′ deserves a huge amount of praise and respect for creating a film so unflinchingly honest, so authentic. Nico, eternally dressed up in others’ wardrobes, in others’ colours and artistic mirages, has finally been depicted on screen for who she really was, and because Christa Paffgen was infinitely more fascinating than ‘Nico’ (‘Don’t call me Nico, call me by my real name’, she says early in the film to her new Mancunian manager, revealing the agenda of the filmmaking), ‘Nico, 1988’ is truly captivating.Read More »

  • Erik Poppe – DeUsynlige aka Troubled Water (2008)

    Drama2001-2010Erik PoppeNorway

    AMG: How does one start anew after a checkered personal history threatens to extinguish all hope and the possibility of redemption? Such is the question that lies at the heart of De Usynlige, Norwegian director Erik Poppe’s earnest psychological drama of second chances. Pal Sverre Hagen stars as Jan Thomas, a young man fresh from an eight-year prison sentence. The catalyst for his incarceration may have been an accident and may have been a premeditated murder, but regardless, the event still hangs over Jan like a dark shroud, tempering his memories and his actions. Upon release, Jan – a talented organist – lands a job in the local church as an organ player, and begins to develop feelings for Anna (Ellen Dorrit Petersen), a female priest who also happens to be a single mother. To avoid complications and protect the sanctity of the new relationship, Jan silently vows to withhold information about his troubled past from Anna, but the past catches up with him in the form of Agnes, a schoolteacher who visits the church and recognizes Jan – as the man responsible for her young son’s death.Read More »
