Bastie Griese

Bastie Griese’s filmography is a wild little ride through some seriously diverse territory, honestly. First up, there’s Stowaway (2021), a sci-fi thriller that doesn’t mess around. The movie drops you right into a Mars mission gone sideways—literally, one of the crew gets discovered as an accidental stowaway after takeoff. The oxygen situation? Dire. The tension? Through the roof. The whole thing’s like a pressure cooker in zero gravity, forcing everyone to face some pretty brutal choices. It’s claustrophobic, ethical dilemmas all over the place, and Griese’s involvement in this one is just… sharp, really sharp. Then you’ve got Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain (2001), which is, honestly, the polar opposite vibe. It’s whimsical, full of color, and a total love letter to Paris. Amélie’s this shy waitress with a wild imagination, and she basically decides to sprinkle a little happiness around Montmartre in her own quirky way. The movie’s loaded with tiny details—a garden gnome here, a secret box there. It’s kind of like peeking inside someone’s daydream, and it just makes people feel good, you know? No wonder it’s a cult classic. And don’t sleep on 7500 (2019). This one’s a tight, nerve-wracking thriller set almost entirely in the cockpit of a hijacked plane. Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s running the show, but the real star is the tension—everything’s happening in real time, and the sense of panic is so real it gets under your skin. Griese’s work connects these films with this thread of intensity—sometimes emotional, sometimes psychological, but always memorable.
