33 of 33 · most liked firstThis is just scratching a visual itch. The sudden reveal of nature / the colour green in European cinema - the magical edit in Švankmajer's Faust reminded me of the reveal of the graveyard (the only calm in the whole film) in Aki Kaurismäki's I Hired a Contract Killer.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched I Hired a Contract Killer tonight on Mubi, the sort of film I’d have read about in the turn-of-the-eighties Melody Maker but never saw at the time. The English dialogue is wooden, but otherwise it’s fascinating.

neutral · AI labelView post →watching a Jet Li film (Sat Sau Ji Wong). The dvd case says Hitman, the titles say Hitman, the poster on letterboxd says Hitman. imdb says Hitman - but the title on @letterboxd.social is 'Contract Killer'. Er. (also there is attempted romance in this. Oh bless. You're just not good at it.)

neutral · AI labelView post →Contract Killer (originally released as Hitman) was sadly kind of dull. Too many plot threads, none of which are resolved satisfactorily. Unfortunately the subpar dub only compounds this problem, so I don't fully blame the movie. At least the top goon had a neat gimmick with his flashlight fingers
negative · AI labelView post →Contract Killer was a first viewing for me too, loved it. Le Havre is one of my favourites, right next to the film that followed it - The Other Side of Hope...
positive · AI labelView post →"I Hired a Contract Killer" (1990) by Aki Kaurismäki is the most hopeful movie I've seen (or rather: reseen) in a very long time.
