Crime film from Slovakia that IMDb calls a “thriller.” It’s rated a respectable 6.7 at IMDb.

In the 1990s post-communist Slovakia, former woods worker Miki takes his chances to start doing business at a local level and climb up the ladder to become the biggest mafia boss in the country.

I watched it, so it was good enough to hold my attention (with a little fast-forwarding). It is a technically competent film, but not really original except for the unique locale. It’s basically just the usual gangsters doing the typical gangster shit, except this time in Eastern Europe.

I don’t know anything about Laura Wittnerova and neither does IMDb, which doesn’t even list her in the cast for this film. Her IG page says she is a model. I can certainly believe that because she is one gorgeous woman.

Also topless in this film: Rebeka Polakova, in a scene that’s too dark for us to see much of anything.

This is a highly respected Russian film (Original title: Петровы в гриппе) that competed at Cannes. It is rated a solid 79 at Metacritic.

A day in the life of a comic book artist and his family in post-Soviet Russia. While suffering from the flu, Petrov is carried by his friend Igor on a long walk, drifting in and out of fantasy and reality.

Variety wrote:

Through its heady stew of impulses and influences, Petrov’s Flu is cinema to the breathless last, riding the camera like a bucking horse as single shots carry us between locations, eras and states of mind — the thrilling, messy work of a man released.

The color images are presented in a different aspect ratio to indicate that they come from a previous time period (memories of childhood).

The 2160 version doesn’t seem like much of an upgrade to me. Here are the previous captures from this film.

Margaret and Demi finished first and seventh in the 2024 balloting for the nude scene of the year.

She was 53 when this was lensed.

She’s still adding to her legend. What more can you say?

Ara and Edu have been lovers for a decade, when they were a novice actress and screenwriter. Apart from their “official” relationships, they always find a moment to be together, an oasis in their lives.

We previously saw Bruna Cusí naked in El fantástico caso del Golem (2023)

That’s been brightened by a power approximately equal to the light of the sun. The original, incredibly dark footage can be seen here. The other woman is Eugenie Derouand, whose breasts are visible briefly, but never clearly. (See below. Eugenie is on the left.)
