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

Love Life
Japan, France, 2022 Drama, Slice of Life Low-key Mainstream Trailer It is always a pleasure to me to return to the screening rooms for one of these charming made in Japan domestic stories.

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.

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.

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.
