USA, 1967 Comedy/Horror Low-key Mainstream Trailer When I was younger, my parents used to remember this movie very fondly, so its name kind of always stayed in my backbone. Thanks to the new classic cinema-oriented channel of my digital TV service, I was finally able to take a bite on it. So it ended being… Continue reading The Fearless Vampire Killers
One Second
China, 2020 Author Work Drama Trailer I have been writing texts like this here ever since a year and a half. I consider myself a cinema enjoyer ever since 2012, regardless of the mild curiosity about it I may had had at my child/teen years. To me, and all of you know it, my dear… Continue reading One Second
The French Dispatch
USA-France, 2021 Comedy/Post-modern Author Work Trailer Wes Anderson. Everybody has, at least, heard this name before. Eventhough some may not have watched any of his works, it’s undoubtely clear that everybody with a bit of cultural interest has a fixed image of his usual style. Not being this enough reason to be interested to watch… Continue reading The French Dispatch
Josee, the Tiger, and the Fish
Japan, 2020 Slice of Life/Melodrama Mainstream Trailer I remember having seen the promotional poster for Josee some months ago, perhaps last spring. I believe I even commented it with my usual group of animation-loving friends. Ever since that first contact with the teaser I have wanted to watch this movie; because judging by the poster,… Continue reading Josee, the Tiger, and the Fish
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
USA, 2021 Action/Fantasy Mainstream Trailer When I saw the promotional posters for this Shang-Chi, it immediately piqued my curiosity. I am not a MCU fan except for very concrete works, mainly because the superhero theme isn’t quite my favourite fruit, but I was very willing to go check this one out. First of all, because… Continue reading Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Annette
USA-France, 2021 Musical/Postmodern Author Work Trailer Annette is oddly-named frenchman Leos Carax’s latest work, ever since Holy Motors was rehearsed 9 years ago. When I was asked by my usual group of friends and readers for my top movies of all time, the latter was among the best 10 for me, even if it was… Continue reading Annette
There is no Evil
Iran, 2020 Slice of Life/Thriller/Romance/Drama Author Trailer I have alredy mentioned several times my love and fascination towards any cultural product from the Iranosphere. Especially, the movies from the newest wave of Iranian cinema offer a very fresh and dynamic take on a culture otherwise sadly known by the traditional slowness and denseness of its… Continue reading There is no Evil
Hong Sang-soo: I Hardly Knew Ye
I watched the new movie by Hong Sang-soo tonight, The Woman who ran. I had previously seen other two of his works and I always found them boring, but this man is internationally acclaimed for his good filmmaking (especially by my former cinema forum teacher), so I went despite of my negative experiences. I did… Continue reading Hong Sang-soo: I Hardly Knew Ye
Miss Marx
UK/Italy, 2020 Biopic/Historical Drama Independent Trailer Karl Marx is probably the biggest revolutionary figure in history since Jesus of Nazareth, both related to their ideas and the legions of people that drank from them. There is barely anybody in the modern world that doesn’t know them, or at least didn’t hear their names. Furthermore, there… Continue reading Miss Marx
Wife of a Spy
Japan, 2020 Thriller/Drama Mainstream Trailer Sometimes it’s really nice to see a conventional movie. There is no need to be clever, innovative or unforgettable, re-de-invent the whool or needy to épater anybody to produce a satisfatory work. Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Japan’s psychological thriller extraordinaire from the 90s onwards, makes himself comfortable in his well-earned seat and… Continue reading Wife of a Spy
