L'ordre et la morale (2011)



Dissidents in a French colony attack a police station and take hostages.

Straightforward, anti-imperialist war drama with a clear message; conventionally staged, but quite effective for the intended purpose.

Suspiria (2018)



A darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist.

Artful re-imagination of an already highly stylish horror classic has a lot going for it (style, great sets, cast, atmosphere and a great soundtrack), but far outstays its welcome, disappoints with an over-the-top ending and generally can't hold a candle to the original.
