As long as there's more than one person left in this world there'll be wars of some kind.

Here we follow the story of the woman that became known as Furiosa. The partner of Mad Max.

As a girl she's being kidnapped by one of the gangs that roams the Wasteland. Her heroic mother tries to save her, but Furiosa must witness her death by the hands of the insane leader Dementus (Chris Hemsworth).

The Wasteland consists of three major areas, each having necessities for mankind to survive. Mankind being mankind, the leaders of the three areas wants to rule all three.

Now Furiosa's masterplan is to do what has to be done to revenge her mother's death and collaborates with men, kind to her. She wants to catch and destroy Dementus for what he did.

This is a very different Mad Max movie, but it has two things in common with the others. It's directed by George Miller and it's good. As you probably have read, there's really not much talking in this 2 and a half hour movie, but it is especially saved by the acting of Anya Taylor-Joy and Alyla Browne playing Furiosa at different ages. This brings us to "Fury Road" in a saga that hopefully continues.

Directed by Francois Ozon, it makes you look forward to seeing the film. Does it work? Yes, mostly. The cast is fantastic, down to the smallest part.

A young actress is being promised a part in a play, but she has to indulge the producer's wishes to be his lover. He tries to make advances, but she runs and escapes the mess.

The next day the police arrives at the apartment of the actress, where she is living with her friend, who's a lawyer, and have practiced for one year. The producer havr been killed.

To advance her career the two girls makes a plan, where she confess to his murder, counting on being acquitted, and then she'll have a name and be successful.

But then something unexpected happens, the real murder contacts the girls. She's an actor, out of luck getting parts in films, it's the era of films with sound, it's 1935. She was big in the silent film years, not now. She's demanding 300.000 Francs to keep quiet.

Now, the rest you must see for your self. It's a quite entertaining and fun film. It's not amongst the best, and it wouldn't even have been as good as it is, if Isabelle Huppert, one of the very finest actors in the world, wasn't playing thr real murderess. In fact all the actors do a fine job. Plus, it's always a pleasure to see Andre Dusollier.

A priest in Copenhagen dies from cancer. Her last wish was, that her husband and their daughter should walk the Camino, to try to find a solution to their problems. The two haven't been speaking for several years.

The daughter is not that keen to participate, but ends up giving her father a chance, now that her mother has died. So off they go to Spain to walk and hopefully talk. The calculations are that it should be possible to complete the walk in eleven days. It's clearly awkward for both to be having this intense way of some kind of spiritual learnings.

The first half of the walk goes by without any signs of improvement on their relationship. But things gets drasticly changed when the father falls and get a concoction, they now have to stay at a small restaurant for a few days, and suddenly changes the way they communicate and they try to be more truthful to each other.

The film is starring two of the absolute best actors in Denmark. The daughter is played by Danica Curcic and the father by Lars Brygmann. So in that sense you, as a viewer, are very well covered. It's an okay film, but two things could've been better. Firstly the conversations should as days go by, have been more deep, the secrets that the two have for each other, could have been more talked about. The second thing is, that the strange "falling-in-love" near the end should certainly not be a part of this film. It feels wrong, and would never have taken place in real life.
