1: Portrait of a young woman in flames
One of my personal favorite films.
In beautiful images that could themselves be paintings, the renowned director Céline Sciamma tells an incredibly fine love story and at the same time creates a powerful, modern statement about the situation of women throughout the centuries - with two brilliant leading actresses Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel. The audience and critics' favorite at Cannes, awarded for best screenplay! Watch now for free on Amazon Prime Student.
2: Parasites
This film is more than just a thriller. The director criticizes today's society with incredible plot twists, intense interpersonal relationships and great images.

5: Pride and Prejudice
The modern film adaptation of Jane Austin's classic "Pride and Prejudice" shows a middle-class family in 19th century England. The film tells the story of the family with 5 daughters who are supposed to be married off to the wealthy neighboring family.
Wright's "Pride and Prejudice" impresses with its excellent acting performances, which optimally support the great character drawing and, in combination with beautiful but authentic images, ensure a wonderfully old-fashioned film experience while still retaining the modern freshness.

6: Lucifer
Lucifer Morningstar - the devil personified. He is the ruler of Hell and his power is correspondingly great, his possibilities almost unlimited. But bored with the task, he joins the Los Angeles Police Department to solve tricky cases with his colleague.
