Sweeney Todd and Eastern Promises
I’ve been on hiatus, watching but not writing.
Sweeney T0dd is the dark answer to Moulin Rouge. I am not a fan of musicals but I pair these films like I pair Goodfellas and The Departed, flip sides of a very similar coin. This film is excellent yet leaves me pining like the recent Cohen Brothers picture… Hollywood ending ever cross the crossbow?
Eastern Promises is an excellent yet dreary film like The Lives Of Others. There is a survival scene I shan’t forget which makes the film celluloid historical, although the heart is removed the WHOLE TIME. This film reminds me that The Shawshank Redemption remains a pinnacle, American apple pie the better in this case.
