"Rational romantic mystic cynical idealist"

Went to an art gallery called The Lock-Up that's situated in a former police station from the 1800s. They use the old, rough-walled cells as tiny wings, often with creepy lighting. A real mixture of works.
* "Borderless Fog" (2024) [Netflix]: Indonesian police procedural atmospheric but only OK.
* "Cold Weather" (2010) [Kanopy]: Wonderfully quirky indie mystery. Some excellent framing.
* "King's Game" (2004) [rental]: Gripping Danish political thriller. Curveballs. Rounded characters.
* "Planet Of The Vampires" (1965) [YT]: Low-budget miracle. Artistic and influential ("Alien").
* "The Beekeeper" (2024) [Prime]: Formidable, faaar-fetched revenger. Dad loved Statham :-(
* "The Island At The Top Of The World" (1974) [Disney+]: Lost-civilisation yarn. Exciting bits. Problematic bits.

<<< Pick of the bunch is "Cold Weather". >>>
