Licorice Pizza

USA, 2021 Romance/Coming of Age Mainstream Trailer If you ask anybody involved in the artistic creation of any kind of narrative fiction, they most probably will tell you that youth is a perfect setting for a story.

West Side Story

USA, 2021 Musical Mainstream Trailer Let me share a thought first: Throughout all the history of humankind, the act of storytelling has been of crucial importance.

A Night at the Opera

USA, 1935 Comedy/Musical Mainstream Trailer As far as I can remember, comedies were my first contacts with talkies, or immediately-post-silent-era classic movies. It’s an easy genre with eternal qualities, and experience tells me people are always more prone to appreciate a good laugh than any other thing when touching a filmic era that is different… Continue reading A Night at the Opera

The Matrix: Resurrections

I saw the new Spider-Man movie. I really liked it. I don’t usually like MCU movies, but this time I admit I had my dose of fun with it and never found it bland nor boring. It delivers what it promises: entertainment, fun, references and hype. The classical hero story archetype is well followed and… Continue reading Spider-Man: No Way Home

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

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.
