Sankat City (2009) - Pankaj Advani

One of these crazy crime capers where everyone is trying to outdo someone. It is too camp, over-the-top and surrealist for a synopsis to give justice to its logic,. It must have been inspired by lots of other films, but was fun nevertheless. If only Kaminay had managed to be half as crazy as this.

Nine Queens (2000) - Fabián Bielinsky

Some interesting humour in a fast-moving plot, but easy to guess who is conning whom.

Une belle fille comme moi (1972) - François Truffaut

You need to be French to be able to make a comedy about a sociologue doing a thesis on criminal women who goes to meet a murderer in prison.

Léon (1994) - Luc Besson

Bonnie and Clyde didn't work alone. Thelma and Louise didn't work alone. And they were the best.

The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn.

Crimson gold (2003) - Jafar Panahi

European angst in a Persian setting.
