Rosetta (1999)
Criterion Challenge 2023 #2 - Made in Belgium
The Dardenne’s tragic tale of Rosetta takes a close look at the harsh realities of what is like to be pushed to the absolute edge of society.
Pigs And Battleships (1961)
Criterion Challenge 2023 #1 - Random Number Generator (I got 472)
Imamura captures Japan’s sordid history during the post WWII era, in one of the most powerful allegorical stories I have seen.
Aimless Bullet (i.e. The Stray Bullet - 오발탄) (1961)
This is an excerpt from my University paper on Aimless Bullet (1961) for my Korean Cinema Course:
I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020)
I went into this project with no prior knowledge on the source material and came out of it shocked, confused, but mostly impressed.
High and Low (1963)
Kurosawa presents us with so much depth with seemingly so little on the surface. He allows the viewers to think about what he has shown and it genuinely lingers on even days after watching the film. It is a masterful work and definitely my favorite of his.
Witness For The Prosecution (1957)
Witness For The Prosecution may not be Wilder’s most impactful or memorable pieces, yet it is still a great mark on his incredible career.
Cinema Paradiso (1988)
Cinema Paradiso may not be one of the best films I have seen this year, but it perfectly captures that magical feeling that cinema brings to people, and for that I truly appreciate it.
Andrei Rublev (1966)
It was a spiritual journey, one that I cannot forget for all its brilliance.
Ugetsu (1953)
One of my favorite aspects of watching movies is when you know something is special even without context. This happened to me with Ugetsu.
Joker (2019)
All in all, I thought the film was fine
Berberian Sound Studio (2012)
At the core of any film lies two basic and fundamental elements, sound and picture.
Ad Astra (2019)
Ad Astra is the film this year that is most dependent on the person viewing it. It can either be a dragged, uptight, and disjointed attempt at a Sci-Fi film, or it can be a unique, personal, and psychologically poignant piece of drama. I fall into the latter, and here is why.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019)
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is a true love letter to film fans around the world.
Melancholia (2011)
This movie wasn’t for me. I didn’t get it, and I am fine with admitting that.
Parasite (2019)
Parasite on the other hand must be seen by all. It is truly impeccable.
Ash is the Purest White (2019)
Jia told an interesting yet simple story through actions more than words. How characters act is a greater indication of love than all the words in the world.
Wild Strawberries (1957)
I went into this film with an open mind and no expectations, and I left with a feeling of melancholy and many thoughts about my life.
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
If you will take anything from this review, is to NOT watch this film
The Favourite (2018)
I think moving forward I need to put a counter with how many times I say “What the fuck” during a Yorgos film.
