Dorian Grey

Lately, I have seen a lot of new trailers but it was this one which made me want to share.


Dorian Grey is cursed with eternal youth since his dear friend painted him. Colin Firth, Ben Barnes and Rebecca Hall are some of the actors staring here.

I read the novel, "Picture of Dorian Grey" from Oscar Wilde, last summer, so I am really looking forward to this movie. Take a look at the trailer and decide for yourself.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

If you have been following this blog, you have certainly read about "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" several times. As a curious, I challenge you to read this article and watch this movie. One of my favorites!

The author of "Spark Uber Alles" presents the link for the movie and you can actually watch it. Amazing!

Russian Ark

This movie is from the Russian Aleksandr Sokurov, who has a long and fruitful career.


"Russian Ark" was shot in a single take in 2002. The actors and crew rehearsed for months to time their movements perfectly with the camera. All the costumes are amazingly fascinating and the scenarios even better. The effect of unbroken flow images is absolutely uncanny!

As French Marquis wanders along the museum, together with an unseen narrator, they explore the Russian history, witnessing several historical figures, such as Catherine the Great, Peter the Great, and much more.

But be careful, this is not a movie for Hollywood lovers. It requires patience!

Enjoy!
