The Tree of Life (2011) - Rated 08 Aug 2025
A Brighter Summer Day (1991) - Rated 21 Jul 2025
"Score based on distant memory."
The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) - Rated 18 Jul 2025
"About the freedom of speech and how it can be easily forgotten when we are faced with things we are afraid of or resent, but maybe even more importantly, about the possibility of building a life of love together according to our own rules and without running away from the wildness of our desire. (Actually, Flynt wasn't the first one blaspheming THE WIZARD OF OZ: Tom Lehrer wrote in his song "Smut" (1965), "I could tell you things about Peter Pan, and the Wizard of Oz - There's a dirty old man!")"
Sleeper (1973) - Rated 16 Jul 2025
"Funny, intense, and oh so imaginative. Of all the directors who do comedies in our time, Woody Allen is the one that could make people forget about thinking "it's just a comedy"."
Bananas (1971) - Rated 15 Jul 2025
"Intensely funny, and the first film in which Woody Allen showed his distinct talent for depicting a more ordinary type of sexual relaionship: just a non-extraordinary man and a non-extraordinary woman struggling to find their way to be together."
Accattone (1961) - Rated 10 Jul 2025
"A tragic story, and extremely vivid and enjoyable depiction of the Italian society and Italians of that time. Citti's performance was just superb (despite that he wasn't a professional actor), and every single character is loveably distinctive and alive, no matter how much of an asshole they are and how much they complain about their life."
Viridiana (1961) - Rated 10 Jul 2025
"Fairly well-made tale of the struggle of figuring out what it means to do good without denying the reigning strength of our wildness. Fascinating ending."
The Swimmer (1968) - Rated 03 Jul 2025
"A man who thought he had everything in life - status, popularity, women and the love of his children - suddenly realises he'd never truly had any of them. A curious mixture of Hollywood-style drama and expressionist filming that could easily end up being a pure big mess, but here it somehow works well in conveying a sense of existential crisis and nihilist apocalypse through a story that almost looks trivial at first. Burt Lancaster had something about him that just locked people's eyes on him."
Journey to Italy (1954) - Rated 15 Jun 2025
"Slightly melodramatic ending, but still showing the subtle dynamics of a couple in a pretty realistic way, unfolding in relation to the rich necromass about life and death in Italy."
Amadeus (1984) - Rated 15 Jun 2025
"On the strangeness of geniuses and the irreducible tension between them and other people, but also just a very enjoyable film to watch (ideally at a well-equipped cinema), both for Mozart's masterpieces, and for a childish, manic Wolfie as well as the hilarious dialogues."
