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."
Pirosmani (1969) - Rated 15 Jun 2025
"Instead of simply giving a carousel of the events in Pirosmani's life, Shengelaia infused the movie with a general feeling of the artist's world and his relationship to his surroundings: naïve, sensitive, lonely, an alien to the world wherever he went, somewhat comically but deeply tragically. Many scenes were constructed in kind of a decorative style, and the overly high contrast intensified their painting-like character. Uniquely touching."
A Moment of Innocence (1996) - Rated 14 Jun 2025
"A film about making a film, reflecting on the meaning and aftermath of a revolution and how it fell upon each individual who was actually involved. Reserved, full of genuineness and humaneness, and brilliantly written."
Hud (1963) - Rated 14 Jun 2025
"A story of different generations standing right up against each other morally and sexually, interestingly located somewhere between a moral tale and an ode to an anti-hero. Homer's no doubt tragically respectable, but Hud is the absolute real star."
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) - Rated 27 May 2025
"Deadpan humour, striking picture, a somewhat warm story told in a deliberately unemotional tone."
The Hustler (1961) - Rated 24 May 2025
"Well written drama, with very enjoyable pool playing scenes and sexual tension, an extremely handsome Paul Newman, and a sexy Piper Laurie with a distinct character."
Seconds (1966) - Rated 23 May 2025
"About nihilism, and how consumerism and the cult of freedom give nothing but the fantasy of escaping from it. Extremely well-carved story and dialogues, with a score and cinematography that give the anticipation of a great film from the very first seconds."
The Killing (1956) - Rated 12 May 2025
"Enjoyable and at times hilarious (especially the last scene), very well-structured thriller."
Adolescence (2025) - Rated 12 May 2025
"Showing in quite a realistic way the symptoms of a combination of the proletarianisation of parenting and education and the de-socialising (and anti-socialising) tendency of the social media milieu. The one-shot filming technique is most effective in the third episode with Owen Cooper's fantastic performance."
