IMDB: 7,3/10

Morgan Freeman as Jessica Tandy's Driver.

If I remember correctly, he's technically Dan Aykroyd's employee so Miss Daisy can't kick him out.

September 10 - Someone's Pet Dies in Movie

Cat Sick Blues (2015) 🔞
IMDB: 5,7/10
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4185862/

This is a really bizarr, I mean really bizarr crowdfunded Horror Movie.
Losing Pets is the topic of the film as the title suggests.
No further spoilers from me, but really only try to watch it, if you can take hard films. (I liked it though) 😬

September 09 - Someone speaks German

Freaks Out (2021)
IMDB: 7,0/10
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7270808/

This is an Italian Fantasy Adventure Drama set during WWII.

Of course the german Nazi Franz speaks german even in the Italian version.
I mean, this task is difficult for me, I am german in Germany, and we literally dub everything. So for me even Keanu Reeves speaks german. :blobcatgiggle:

#Bales2023FilmChallenge September 8: pardoned on #PardonDay

#AbbasKiarostami's Close-Up (1990) is visual narrative illustrating a crime. A cinephile pretends to be a filmmaker and slowly extorts a family into believing to star in the director's next film. An article about the case intrigued director Kiarostami so much that he decided to film the court case against Sabzian, and ask the accused, Makhmalbaf, and the Ahankhah family to reenact some of the events.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge September 7: deli meat for #NationalSalamiDay

#ArnoldLaven's The Monster That Challenged the World (1957) is one of the earliest, if not thé earliest, example of this peculiar movie and television trope: the coroner's lunchbreak. Having some cold cuts over some cold cuts never gets old. Or appetising.
