Mr. Bachmann and His Class 2021
If this would have lasted ten hours and I would've had a proper cinema seat, I might have endured the whole thing without getting bored. You really get to know these kids and their teacher, and that is what 215 min. can do where 120 would have been 'normal'. Speth's Wiseman-esque style and the subject of education and personal progress go hand in hand really well.

I promessi sposi
If someone could add extra data (in English) on this one, I'd be grateful;)
Luckily the director credits are now fixed.www.imdb.com/title/tt4337186/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_7

The Big Parade 1925
''They cheer when you go, they cheer when you come back... but what of the time in-between?''
When sex was still ''skirt duty'', Maggie Gyllenhaal was still pretty and you had to cross physical territory to wage wars.

Bitter Moon 1992
This movie's anti-Titanic. The boat doesn't sink and all references to (true) love turn out to be deceiving illusions. I absolutely loved it.

Green Book 2018
Green Book reinforces the painful myth that it is mainly ignorance that perpetuates racism.
Ali's role gets a sour taste once it becomes clear that his eclectic snobism only serves to strengthen the film's lingering white saviour-complex.
Feelgood-cinema for, probably, people like me - and I do not feel like I should deserve that in the context of a theme so loaded & still very alive.
An Oscar for passivity and short-sightedness.
