🎬 Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma

letterboxd.com/danielpietzsch/film/teenage-sex-and-death-at-camp-miasma/

Hm. I probably expected something different from this movie. Both thematically and visually. It certainly has its good (and funny) scenes. The main character is very likeable. And the tongue in cheek references to slashers are good, too. But the story was weird and too meta for my tastes. And visually this was all over the place, and I was partly really turned off by the CGI and the kitschy landscapes. So, not quite my cup of blood.

🎬 Melancholia

letterboxd.com/danielpietzsch/film/melancholia/

When melancholia hits you hart, you’re done.

Absolutely love the depressing atmosphere in this movie. And what a scenario with another planet hitting earth!

Love the classic soundtrack. The space images are fantastic. The opening slo-mo sequences remind me of Crewdson photographs.

Part one might be a bit too long, but part two is absolutely perfect.

👍 Recommended!

🎬 The Northman

letterboxd.com/danielpietzsch/film/the-northman/

That’s not a movie for me. I really did not care about anything or anyone in this. The story is boring and it’s all pretty pointless. While some images are great, the dream-like sequences border on ugly. Then it has some short funny scenes weirdly inserted. The end At the Gates of Hel is just disappointing. I’m sorry.

📖 Es war nicht anders möglich – Svenja Liesau

Absolut wahnsinniges Buch über das und aus dem Bewusstsein einer Irren. Aber einer intelligenten Irren.

Ewige Gedankenabschweifungen und Erzählungen u.A. über die Leute, die sie kennt oder glaubt zu kennen.

Sehr lustig, aber auch etwas tragisch. Super unterhaltsam geschrieben. Nicht lang. Empfehlung! Man sollte allerdings vielleicht nicht zu zart besaitet sein.

🎬 Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 4: Dawn of the Vampires

letterboxd.com/danielpietzsch/film/z-o-m-b-i-e-s-4-dawn-of-the-vampires/

Well, that was not too bad. The songs were decent. But, yeah, it’s a kids movie. With bright kitschy images.

🎬 Backrooms

letterboxd.com/danielpietzsch/film/backrooms-2026/

I really liked those Backrooms and the atmosphere and eeriness of it all; and the found footage, too. That is the first two thirds. Then the movie shifts and it’s like a new storyline in a TV series; where you’d also need another episode to resolve this. Hm…
