Spain, 2021 Tragicomedy Mainstream/Author Work Trailer I watched tonight the Spanish candidate for the Best Foreign Picture Award 2022’s Oscars venue. The director here is Fernando León de Aranoa, who is better known for his works dealing with social issues, especially work and class-related ones. This movie, of course, continues with his particular style, but… Continue reading The Good Boss

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
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
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
Gaza Mon Amour
Palestine, 2021 Comedy Author Work Trailer (sort of) The epithet that this movie adds to a toponym with otherwise tragic connotations such as Gaza already reveals a big chunk of the spirit of this movie. Naturally, it follows the trail of other renowed movies that establish the budding of an endearment between two individuals in… Continue reading Gaza Mon Amour
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Iran-USA, 2014 Postmodern/Horror/Thriller Author Work Trailer The reasons that made me pick this movie were three things: Firstly, I have a particular liking towards Iranians and their culture; secondly, the title and the eyecatch picture gave me an irresistible hunch that this could be an interesting watch; and thirdly, reading it was a vampire movie… Continue reading A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Tremble all You Want
Japan, 2017 Ironic Psychological Comedy Romance Drama (yes) Author Work Trailer This. This baby here has been the most tasteful, most perfectly shot, most intriguing, most lovely, but also the most mysterious and the most ungraspeable movie of all the JFF+ Festival 2021 Edition. It has been all this to the point that I don’t… Continue reading Tremble all You Want
My Mexican Bretzel
Spain, 2020 Postmodern Author Work Trailer This particular movie caught my attention during my weekly check-out on the movie roster of my usual theatres. It promised “a delicious melodrama in the style of how they were made in the age of Golden Hollywood, without any dialogues, and collage-ing footage from the 40s-60s together”. This thing… Continue reading My Mexican Bretzel
