Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is a standalone film, not a continuation of its predecessor, with a new story and cast. The film's setting of Greece was a desire of the director to travel abroad when international travel had been shut down due to COVID-19. The director, Rian Johnson, took inspiration from Agatha Christie novels, especially "The Last of Sheila" and "tropical getaway murder mysteries" and desired the title of the film to refer to something hidden in plain sight. He chose the title "Glass Onion" from a song by The Beatles and featured in the end credits. The character of Benoit Blanc is revealed as gay in the film.

Public Enemies is fair to compare with the cult Heat released fifteen years ago, but it seems that this time the Michael Mann jumped above the head, and it is not surprising as it seems at first glance. Mann manages to convert high-tech to high art, and that this film will be remembered after seventy years, as now, let's say, Dreyer's movies, as a major illustration of the key role of Mann in the world of cinema. And this is not only the matter of the form. Yes, Mann filmed first digital retro. And yes, the atmosphere of the thirties was recreated down to the dress models.

Shutter Island

Shutter Island

Crime & Thriller

All you need to know about the "Shutter Island" to watch it. It's a great movie that should you definitely watch, in the end all the answers will be given and the denouement will be unexpected. The traditional for Scorsese almost three-hour running time is a little bit discouraging. But you should trust: a mystery of the movie worth it. If the "Shutter Island" was a half hour shorter, it would be a cult masterpiece. In the present form of insanity redundancy, unnecessary images design weights film stretches the path of the hero to the old lighthouse - and the prolixity of the lost relics of the final revelation and enjoyment of the movie, eventually. This is the main and only disadvantage of "Island of the Damned" almost redeems acting. The film is surprisingly colorful. Martin Scorsese perfectly controlled a color and a setting of the frame even before, but the colors and pictures in the "Shutter Island" look just magical, and immerse you in a world of island with a head.
