Whiplash (2014)
A film also to be seen by who is seeking a Ph.D. or a Master's degree
Whiplash is an amazing film on the relationship between a professor and a student. Such emotional attachment can be a wonderful or a hellish experience, without not being always possible to clearly grasp if the advisor is supportive, neutral or even a rival. This doubt is dealt in the film with a great script, a fantastic director, and wonderful actors.
Die göttliche Ordnung (2017)
A great Swiss film on Switzerland and their culture
I saw yesterday (Friday, 15 Dec 2017) in a cinema in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) the Swiss Film "Die Goettliche Ordnung" here named "Mulheres Divinas" (somewhat like "Holly Women", an awkward title for a great film). The film is spoken in Swiss German with subtitles in Portuguese. Once I did live very happily in Switzerland from 1986 to 1992 (a period quite close to the facts presented in the film) and since I even did learn and I actually do speak Swiss German due to my great integration into the Swiss way-of-life, the film touched deeply - really very deeply - my inner feelings (and I am a married man). Perhaps foreigners might not grasp all the subtle details on Switzerland, but the film conveys a lot of information on the country and their culture. "Schampar Guet", as I would say in Swiss German! Highly recommended.
