French New Wave, 1981 – Adventure/Thriller/Comedy Note: for the desired effect, read this with this song on loop There is a definition I read some time back about the Nouvelle Vague, or the French New Wave of cinema, that I really liked: Truffaut, Godard, Resnais and friends decided at some point to create cheap, mould-breaking… Continue reading Le Pont du Nord

You Can’t Take It With You
In general terms, since last year I barely have forces to concentrate myself in watching a movie for 2 hours without getting sleepy. Who would had thought about it! Since I certainly missed the feeling I always had after watching a good film, I kind of forced myself to return and asked my father about… Continue reading You Can’t Take It With You
The Lord of the Rings
This corner is going to have a more personal tone compared to the rest of my texts. I believe I have to do it so in order to fully convey the feelings that have governed me these last two months – culminating in the rewatch of this fantastic triad of movies. And precisely because of… Continue reading The Lord of the Rings
Ahsoka
A spoiler-free, reflective and very simplistic post I spent way more time than the amount I’d ideally desired to thinking on how to write this text. Ordering my thoughts is difficult, especially after during recovery of my anxiety. So, eventually I decided to keep my usual creative writing style out and express myself like when… Continue reading Ahsoka
Barbenheimer
I have wanted to write this text for an extended amount of time. Ever since I first saw the teasers that showed the conception of the two movies that concern us this time I have been possessed by some kind of infantile enchantment. It had some air of mythical. Headlines like “First shots of Greta… Continue reading Barbenheimer
John Wick
Last Friday I went to the rehearsal of John Wick 4. It was fun. Coincidentally, it was the fourth time I go to the cinema in 2023. I blame that damn burnout!! So, I want to believe that some kind of cosmic conjoinment was the culprit of me wanting to return to my dear Movie… Continue reading John Wick
Hero
I watched a piece of news today. Allegedly, in one of the sadly every time more abundant leaked political scandals, the prime minister of a theoretically exemplarish First World Country has been caught in an excessively sensual pleasure-enjoying way during what should be a solemn occasion. Reacting to this, I got a contradictory mixture of… Continue reading Hero
Everything Everywhere All At Once
USA, 2022 Mindfuck Mainstream Trailer Roughly 3000 years ago, century up, century down, a very wise civilization living in the Gangeatic basin coined one word in an attempt to describe and understand a phenomenon they interpreted as a determinist, divine law of the universe: Everything is connected in space and time. A deed anywhere, anytime,… Continue reading Everything Everywhere All At Once
The Batman
USA, 2022 Thriller Mainstream Trailer The discussion about the meaning of the term icon is analogue to the meaning of a classic. Both terms are intimately related, denotating eternal qualities that keep inspiring humans regardless of their lifetime, and therefore have carved themselves a well-deserved position in our intangible wall of fame of humanity. However,… Continue reading The Batman
West Side Story
USA, 2021 Musical Mainstream Trailer Let me share a thought first: Throughout all the history of humankind, the act of storytelling has been of crucial importance. Not only as a cultural manifestation, but also as a way to know ourselves and our identity better. It is well-known that there exist certain topics and motifs that… Continue reading West Side Story
