Spain, 2022 Suspense/Drama Author Work Trailer Mantícora (“Manticore”) is the newest work of Spanish cult filmmaker Carlos Vermut. My story with this man is verily something unusual to have happened -the first time I heard about him was in a local Comic Con almost a decade ago. Back then, he was promoting in a side… Continue reading Mantícora
Three Thousand Years of Longing
Australia/Turkey/UK, 2022 Drama/Fantasy Author Work Trailer Ever since humans developed a culture of their own, or perhaps even before, storytelling has been there. Stories do not only serve as amazing entertainment, but also can bear further purposes. Expression of feelings and art, lessons hidden within them, knowledge from our past and present… or even the… Continue reading Three Thousand Years of Longing
The Night of the Hunter
USA, 1955 Drama/Horror Classic Trailer My story with this film is accidental. I have known about it for ages, ever since I was way younger and more impressionable than now. Back then, I learned about its existence in a comic I used to read, where a detailed prompt of its plot was given. From that… Continue reading The Night of the Hunter
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
Belle
Japan, 2021 Musical Author Work Trailer It has been very long since my last Corner. Very very long. Probably since March or April didn’t I write anything, mainly due to my thesis, paperwork, regular work and whatever things more that agitated my life and made it a scorching mess of exhaustion and excitement. Given that… Continue reading Belle
A Ghost Story
USA, 2017 Drama/Fantasy Independent Trailer This movie always caught my attention for the simple reason of its promotional images, that suggest a delightfully odd content. The image of a ghost represented by an entity covered by a long drape of white cloth hanging from its “head” is traditionally infantile, and seeing it incarnated in a… Continue reading A Ghost Story
Angry Indian Goddesses
India, 2015 Postmodern Author Work Trailer Part of the magic of cinema (what a cheesy term, huh?) is its amazing ability to connect and resonate with certain parts of the audience. Many times, this effect is aimed from the very conception of the movies: when a film wants to deal with a particular topic, it… Continue reading Angry Indian Goddesses
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
A Hero
Iran, 2021 Drama Author Work Trailer The director of this movie is Asghar Farhadi, which is a name I have frequently read each time I inform myself about the newest intellectual gossip from the cinema of the Iranosphere. Even during the promotion campaign of the wonderful There is no Evil that was released last year,… Continue reading A Hero
