Review of "Stalker"

Considering I have been wanting to see this for nearly forty years it was a huge disappointment. Nothing happens. There is no meaning. There is no drama. There is almost no story. Nothing is explained. It is tedious beyond belief. The mis-en-scene which may have seemed innovative in 1979 is now tired and done far better in many recent film and tv dramas. How did the director of Andrei Rublev sink to this?

Dunkirk

Director : Christopher Nolan

Synopsis extract :
A story about the evacuation from Dunkirk in 1940, well actually three stories.

Review of "Dunkirk"

The three stories are very confusingly laid out. Each operates on a different timeline but they are intercut so you have very little idea of what is actually going on. The story(s) thus get hopelessly confused and muddled.
