15.7. This film depicts the events that lead to the infamous triple murder where two adults and a child were killed by a bicycle thief and his girlfriend. The actors are brilliant, and the rough style and storytelling fits in like a glove.

25.6. A classic study on the controversial matter. Waffen SS was never officially part of the German army, but Hitler's private guard with its own laws and logic. At first it was meant to be racially superior and politically indoctrinated group of elite soldiers, but as the time passed and the nazis failed to gain any results they started hiring and forcing non-German men to join the ranks. At the end of the war the majority of the guard were foreign born with very little to do with the original purpose of the guard.

14.7. A very funny and lighthearted look at French literary classics. There are surprisingly many not so obvious takes on less celebrated novels.

13.7. This book is very problematic: the author picked whatever points that supported his views and arguments and ignored everything else, including criticism and fine details that might make this stuff look kinda suspicious and weak. On the other hand I am reading scientific literature to learn new things and challenge myself, and this book did give me just what I wanted. It's not perfect by any means, but it makes you think.

13.7. Clearly this is more refined and cleaned than Cousin Bette, which had more "filler", if you will. Pere Goriot felt more streamlined and straight to the point, but had less detail and depth.

13.7. An autobiographical novel about Ratushinskaya's childhood in Odessa, how she became a free poet and began to understand the faults of socialism and eventually was sent to prison for illegal poems. She was part of the underground art movement that published their work independently and were willing to take the bullet for it.
