Netflix and European identity
I rarely write about movies, and I think that this is the first time in ages that I write about series. However, this is rather about the role of Netflix in connecting European countries through their series. First, there is Into the Night (thanks to Tinca for recommending the movie), a post-apocalyptic Belgian series, based on a 2015 Polish SF novel, spoken in French, Italian, Polish, Russian, Arabic, English, Flemish (or Dutch??), and Bulgarian. Indeed, this is a kind of pan-European selection. Probably not the best shot movie, but with a decent script, quite appealing twists, and realistic scenes. I really enjoyed the first season (6 episodes), in which people are put in unexpected setups, social relations are on the verge, and characters need to reinvent themselves. I have saw one of the actors, Laurent Capelutto in the French movie by Hirokazu Kore-eda, La Vérité . The entire plot includes constant reference to European diversity, which made me start the post with Into the Night
