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

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 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

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

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
