farma-thriller in Dublin (TV series: ‘Acceptable Risk’)
I do not regret the decision to spend the time of the six episodes in the company of the Irish mini-series ‘Acceptable Risk‘ (2017) written by Ron Hutchinson and directed by Kenneth Glenaan and hristian Langlois. One of the reasons … Continue reading
damned be the savior (film: 125, rue Montmartre – Gilles Grangier, 1959)
The year 1959 in which Gilles Grangier‘s ‘125 rue Montmartre‘ was made was not an ordinary year in the history of French cinema. It was the year of the release of films like ‘Les quatre cent coups’ and ‘Hiroshima mon … Continue reading
an uneven and unsettling Hitchcock (film: Marnie – Alfred Hitchcock, 1964)
In Hitchcock‘s filmography, ‘Marnie‘ (1964) comes after four masterpieces, probably among the best if not the best films of the master of suspense films: ‘Vertigo’, ‘North by Northwest’, ‘Psycho’ and ‘The Birds’ ‘. The last two also represented real cinematic … Continue reading
in the shade of Philip Marlowe (film: Manhattan Night – Brian DeCubellis, 2016)
I liked how ‘Manhattan Night‘, the 2016 film by director Brian DeCubellis, begins. We are in a dark, cold and violent New York, and the main character is one of those who bring the public news about the crimes in … Continue reading
postponed love (film: Sur mes lèvres – Jacques Audiard, 2001)
Thrillers attract audiences and sell well. Producers love them and many script writers and directors aspire to make good thrillers. Some succeed, others less so. Jacques Audiard, the director and co-writer of the 2001 film ‘Sur mes lèvres‘ (the English … Continue reading
Un thriller istoric în lumea cărților (carte: Fiona Davis – Leii de pe Fifth Avenue)
Invitația de pe coperta cărții era prea tentantă. ‘Roman scris pentru iubitorii de cărți’ – așa suna recomandarea (preluată din ‘The Oprah Magazine’) a romanului ‘Leii de pe Fifth Avenue’ al Fionei Davis, apărut în 2022 în traducerea Sînzianei Dragoș … Continue reading
Un Goncourt pentru un thriller? (carte: Hervé Le Tellier – Anomalia)
2020 a fost un an de anomalie. Întreaga planetă a părut că se oprește în loc. Viața socială, culturală, economică, personală a fiecăruia dintre noi s-a schimbat drastic aproape peste noapte. Ne-am trezit izolați în case, separați de familii, departe … Continue reading

un thriller românesc de calitate (carte: George Arion – Umbrele din Ada Kaleh)
Nu există genuri literare ‘serioase’ spre deosebire de altele ‘minore’. Există literatură bună și literatură proastă și multe mediocritate între ele. Tragediile antice sunt telenovele melodramatice și sângeroase de familie, Hamlet este un roman detectiv și o vendetta în stil … Continue reading
