Train Dreams - Netflix.
I read the reviews beforehand and one of them said it was a " beautiful film ", which it really is.
Joel Edgerton proves that he`s amongst the best male actors around at the moment.
A very simple plot - a lonely railway worker ( Edgerton ), turned logger in the American midwest, finds his soulmate and happiness ( Felicity Jones ), setting up home in a little log cabin on the edge of a lake, where they live a simple but content life.
Tragedy seems to follow him around, as he struggles with reality.
It sounds soppy, but it`s anything but.
The beautiful cinematography is as much part of the film as the performances and although it`s slow and dreamy, it kept my attention all the way through.
I`d have very happily gone to see this on the cinema and I`ve ordered the book.

Deutschland 83 and Deutschland 86 are very good, very entertaining and with a banging 80`s soundtrack.
During the last throws of Communist East Germany, a young Eastern German lad is recruited as a spy by the Stasi.
There`s a lot of black humour in it, taking the piss out of both the East and West Germans.
A really good cast, who you instantly bond with.
With the added bonus of one of the most beautiful women on the planet, Sonja Gerhardt playing the love interest and fellow spy.

We've seen a few of the series on there. The ones I remember enjoying are
French:
A Deadly Union
'____ By The Lake' series (up to the one that seemed too similar to covid so we didn't bother)
Crimson Wedding
The Forest
Belgian:
The Break
German:
Deutschland 83/86/89
Danish:
The Team
Not sure how many of them are still available

Watched a documentary the other night, Predators. It’s about the series ‘To Catch a Predator’, which used to be on in the US. It was a show all about catching paedophiles and seems to have been really popular and spawned the vigilante paedophile hunters you hear about nowadays.
Not entirely sure how I felt about it…which I think in part is the theme of the whole thing.
Next up, for a lighter watch I’m looking forward to watching Riefenstahl. About the film director who inspired Hitler.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Heads up for everyone watching. Because of Christmas the last episode is out early this week, on Christmas Eve.
Was looking for news of a renewal and discovered that they ordered two series up front so don't expect too much to be resolved by the finale.
