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

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
Voices in the Wind
Japan, 2021 Drama/Roadtrip Independent Trailer Kaze no Denwa got released this weekend, but only for a couple of days, in very limited screenings. This means that this movie was not exclusively made for profit, but was conceived with another goal in mind. The picture acts as a memento of 2011’s Fukushima catastrophe, a topic most… Continue reading Voices in the Wind
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
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
Pot-pourri of summer 2020 movies
The Secret Garden I watched this one during my stay at the beach this August, at one evening I missed going to the theatre. Given that during my regular life I go there twice or three times a week, I had a kind of abstinence syndrome and was feeling blue because of some family thing… Continue reading Pot-pourri of summer 2020 movies
Zombi Child
France-Haiti, 2019 Drama/Horror Independent Trailer Zombi Child (yes, “zombi” without an “e”, since it’s French). I remember having read a text about this one some months ago, probably before the pandemic-related stuff, and while I didn’t remember anything concrete about it, it was an enough reason for me to try it out. Besides, the poster… Continue reading Zombi Child
Papicha
Today I watched a pearl: An movie from an Algerian filmmaker, Papicha (Young Free Woman). It was selected as a candidate for the Oscars as Best Foreign Movie (without official nomination) and got featured in Cannes last year. It just was released here last Friday, with almost flawless critiques. I couldn’t not see it, especially… Continue reading Papicha
The Bra
I watched a movie called The Bra. I decided myself for this one because the poster made it look like a heartwarming one, and also because it’s a production from Azerbaijan. That intrigued me, since I never had contact with anything of that country before (and I have a soft spot for the Second World… Continue reading The Bra
