I can see why: It's pure nostalgia, a pleasant period piece comedy about a group of ordinary people during 1967, the last year of the 'Prague Spring'. A 16 yo son is infatuated with a beautiful teen, and all members of their middle class families are fantastically depicted. It's warm, funny, and a national classic. Apparently, if you're a 'real' Czech, you 'must' watch it on Christmas day every year.]]> https://fanfare.metafilter.com/27786/Cosy-Dens tag:fanfare.metafilter.com,2026:site.27786 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 16:11:31 GMT growabrain 1967 1999 Czechcinema Czechia periodpiece https://fanfare.metafilter.com/27786/Cosy-Dens/rss "A police detective and his team attempt to solve two crimes committed within a day of each other in neighboring apartment rooms".]]> https://fanfare.metafilter.com/27785/The-Facts-of-Murder tag:fanfare.metafilter.com,2026:site.27785 Sat, 01 Aug 2026 16:14:59 GMT growabrain 1959 ClaudiaCardinale Commediaall'italiana DivorceItalianStyle italian neonoir NinoCastelnuovo PietroGermi SeducedandAbandoned sicilian StefaniaSandrelli https://fanfare.metafilter.com/27785/The-Facts-of-Murder/rss https://fanfare.metafilter.com/27784/Spider-Man-Brand-New-Day tag:fanfare.metafilter.com,2026:site.27784 Fri, 31 Jul 2026 18:46:25 GMT 1970s Antihero destindanielcretton jacobbatalon jonbernthal markruffalo marvel mcu sadiesink spiderdashman spiderman tomholland zendaya https://fanfare.metafilter.com/27784/Spider-Man-Brand-New-Day/rss https://fanfare.metafilter.com/27783/Purgatorio-Canto-27 tag:fanfare.metafilter.com,2026:site.27783 Fri, 31 Jul 2026 14:18:01 GMT cyanistes Dante dante_club DanteAlighieri DivineComedy poetry Purgatorio https://fanfare.metafilter.com/27783/Purgatorio-Canto-27/rss https://fanfare.metafilter.com/27782/X-Men-97-Strange-Land-Savage-Heart tag:fanfare.metafilter.com,2026:site.27782 Fri, 31 Jul 2026 05:10:16 GMT Pronoiac animation marvel x-men https://fanfare.metafilter.com/27782/X-Men-97-Strange-Land-Savage-Heart/rss Bicycle Safety Camp (riffed by Conor Lastowka and Sean Thomason), The Number System, Perc!

This is a subtle, low-key workplace romance at a big 'Super Store' in the Eastern part of Germany, post-unification. Franz Rogowski plays an introverted, shy ex-convict hired to fill the selves in the 'Beverage' department at night, and he falls for married woman Sandra Hüller from the confectionery department. Their day to day lives are dreary and joyless, and not having the psychological tools to accurately express themselves, they restore to stolen looks and small, tender gestures.
