Shoot First, Die Later

1 month ago | filmhounds.co.uk | Kesewaa Browne

“Life is one hell of a lousy road,” protagonist Lieutenant Domenico Malacarne (Luc Merenda) utters in Shoot First, Die Later. It's a downbeat attitude emblematic of Malacarne's fall from grace in this notable Italian poliziottesco drama, as his life spirals from bad to worse. Directed by Fernando Di Leo, the narrative is set in the gritty streets of Milan. The city serves as a backdrop for Malarcarne's glistening reputation as an ambitious rising star within the police force.
Sun, sensuality, and scriptwriting - The Summer with Carmen (Film Review)

Mar 4, 2025 | filmhounds.co.uk | Kesewaa Browne

Zacharis Mavroeidis' The Summer with Carmen is a Greek film that radiates with sun, sensuality, and sharp scriptwriting. From its provocative opening sequence to its exploration of relationships, the film is an exploration of desire, queer identity, and the pursuit of artistic ambition – all served with a side of distractions. The opening sequence of the film unfolds at a nudist beach, immediately setting the tone for what's to come.
Hilarious, But Playing It Safe — Clean Slate (TV Review) - FILMHOUNDS Magazine

Feb 9, 2025 | filmhounds.co.uk | Kesewaa Browne

When the late TV kingpin, Norman Lear, execs a project, you know you're in for a fun but tumultuous ride. Co-created by the lead star, Laverne Cox (who pitched to idea to Lear), Clean Slate follows Desiree, a trans woman who ran away from home as a teenager as she reunite with her father 23 years later. Amusing but arguably slightly risk-averse in comparison to the previous Norman Lear work we have seen and loved in the past, Clean Slate still exudes his signature velvet touch.
Bring Them Down - FILMHOUNDS Magazine

Feb 7, 2025 | filmhounds.co.uk | Kesewaa Browne

A feud, bloodshed and bitter revenge served cold (quite literally) unravel in the quiet corners of West Ireland. Bring Them Down’s rustic setting is secluded – but in spite of this, the film certainly doesn’t lack in dramatic moments. There are some subtle and more direct hints of the negative impact toxic masculinity and emotional repression can have on men.
Five things we learnt from the Q&A with Ryan Coogler on his new film 'Sinners.'

Jan 28, 2025 | thefloormag.com | Kesewaa Browne

Michael B Jordan has starred in all five of Coogler’s feature films, while composer Ludwig Göransson has collaborated with the director the same amount of times, scoring all of Coogler’s movies. On his relationship with his long time collaborator, Jordan, Coogler commented that it’s hard to make a movie and it’s hard to lead a film. “When you have someone who clicks with you and understands you, it doesn’t feel like work,” he explained.
Silently Powerful - The Village Next to Paradise (London Film Festival 2024)

Nov 7, 2024 | filmhounds.co.uk | Kesewaa Browne

Mo Harawe's The Village Next to Paradise had already made waves before its UK premiere at the London Film Festival. It made history as the first-ever Somali film to compete at Festival de Cannes in May 2024 and was met with critical acclaim. Dreams, desire, and tragedy underpin this silently powerful drama that steadily and leisurely unravels the story of Cigaal (Ahmed Mohamud Saleban), his father Mamargrade (Ahmed Ali Farah), and his aunt Araweelo (Anab Ahmed Ibrahim).
Gritty And Gutsy - A Thousand Blows (London Film Festival 2024)

Nov 5, 2024 | filmhounds.co.uk | Kesewaa Browne

When we think of the Victorian Era, strict societal norms, the booming Industrial Revolution, and Romanticism may come to mind. Female-led crime gangs and violent grizzly underground boxing rings probably don't. But Steven Knight's A Thousand Blows shines a spotlight on both. The first two episodes of the series are gritty, and contrast with the prim and proper portrayal of Victorianism that we've seen in the history textbooks and previous period dramas.

Jackpot! (Film Review)

Aug 18, 2024 | filmhounds.co.uk | Kesewaa Browne

It's something we have probably all fantasised about — winning the lottery, cashing in the jackpot and being set for life. However, in reality, the relatively slim chances of this happening burst that wishful bubble. Paul Feig's comedy, Jackpot!, deep dives into what would happen if you were fortunate enough to find out you've cashed in the motherlode, but for the protagonist, it comes at a great expense. Jackpot! is set in a futuristic world.
