An extraordinarily gentle, quiet and slow film with a pure melancholic soul. It starts out as a profile of overpopulated, rain-soaked Mumbai with a look into the lives of two friends living there and later shifts to a calmer, quieter place. As the debut fictional film of an experienced documentary filmmaker, All We…

Because I’m not popular, I decided to rewatch WataMote — the story of a high school girl obsessed with popularity. Once again, I found myself rolling with laughter and cringing at the same time. Tomoko's inner world and her biting remarks about ordinary people are so relatable, it's almost embarrassing. This anime is…

Not to repeat himself, George Miller went about it differently this time and decided to focus on what he didn't have time for last time, and we get to know the characters and the world better. But that doesn't mean there's no action. There is action, and what kind of action. The first act alone puts most recent action…

If you don’t read anything about Anora in advance or see the trailer, it is flawlessly unpredictable not only in terms of plot, but also in terms of genre. The situation in which the protagonist finds herself easily varies in its degree of seriousness, shifting from tensely comedic to cruelly dramatic. The film…

Don’t be put off by the shallow premise and the B-movie stylisation. The reflection of the rules of television show business is deliberately superficial. Those past their prime must be replaced with young people with perfect bodies. And because of that, celebrities are willing to do anything to their own bodies. For…

An absolutely amazing documentary about the portrayal of homosexuality in films both famous and lesser known, which gave me a lot of new insights, especially about the workings of censorship and the fight against it. The various excerpts from the films are interspersed with testimonials from actors, actresses, writers…

I came across this forgotten film through the documentary The Celluloid Closet. When I found out that the film features stars such as Katharine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor, and that it was somewhat controversial in its day, I just had to see it, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The performances by the…

I've always said that Christopher Nolan didn't win me over with his "bat" movies, but with the latest installment of the Batman trilogy, he finally did. There was a sort of atmosphere of unconditional resignation, hopelessness and despair radiating at me the whole time, so to be honest I was quite worried about the…

Even a master makes mistakes sometimes. A wonderful documentary in which James Cameron debates with the "titanicophiles" and tries to actually figure out what happened after the waters finally closed over the pride of mankind. This 90-minute film is definitely worth a watch, for Titanic lovers like me it's even a must…

François Ozon's films have always interested me in some way, but they never really grew on me, which is a shame, because there was quite a bit of potential here. I found Under the Sand more appealing than Swimming Pool and Time to Leave because it seemed more coherent and, more importantly, understandable. Charlotte…
