Visit, or Memories and Confessions (1982)

  • Others
  • 1982, Documentary, Manoel de Oliveira, Portugal
  • Leave a comment

This quaint self-reflective piece by Oliveira doesnโ€™t always work, but it is an introspective glimpse into the filmmakerโ€™s mind, his life experiences and awareness of his mortality.

Apollo 11 (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, Documentary, USA
  • 3 Comments

This is an extraordinary documentary about an even more astonishing feat of mankindโ€”the landing on the Moon in 1969โ€”primarily using archival footage, some never seen before, as it details the still mind-boggling journey, one suspenseful step at a time.

Ecstasy of the Angels (1972)

  • Others
  • 1972, Japan, Koji Wakamatsu
  • Leave a comment

Wakamatsu mixes exploitative sex with subversive politics, but the film doesnโ€™t really compel and is too long-winded.

What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? (2021)

  • Others
  • 2021, Georgia
  • 1 Comment

The emerging Georgian filmmakerโ€™s second feature is an entrancing anti-romanticisation of the romance tale, recalling the artful whimsy and playful storytelling of Miguel Gomes.

Cat Returns, The (2002)

  • Others
  • 2002, Japan, Studio Ghibli
  • Leave a comment

Fantasy encroaches into reality in this slight if charming little anime from Studio Ghibli that might just finally make non-feline lovers realise why cats are to be fussed about.

Collective (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, Documentary, Romania
  • Leave a comment

This Oscar-nominated documentary pitting bold investigative journalism against dirty politics reveals how the state could be complicit in the killing of innocent citizens as this eye-opening exposรฉ shows us the shocking depths of corruption in Romaniaโ€™s beleaguered healthcare system.

Green Knight, The (2021)

  • Others
  • 2021, David Lowery, USA
  • 2 Comments

Loweryโ€™s ambitious, visually-indulgent and bewildering attempt at reimagining the story of Sir Gawain and the mysterious Green Knight is way too slow an anti-heroโ€™s journey picture to truly engage.

Ides of March, The (2011)

  • Others
  • 2011, George Clooney, USA
  • 3 Comments

A case of the sum is lesser than its parts, this ensemble political drama is more intriguing than engaging.

Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005)

  • Others
  • 2005, George Clooney, USA
  • 1 Comment

Clooneyโ€™s finest moment as a director is this tightly-structured black-and-white tribute to pioneering broadcast journalist Edward Murrow as he battled McCarthyism head-on in the 1950s.ย

Jodorowsky’s Dune (2013)

  • Others
  • 2013, Documentary, USA
  • 2 Comments

Fantastic documentary about a fantasy, a failed dream, accompanied by a stunning electronic soundtrack to boot, with the misunderstood Jodorowsky at the center of his whirlwind.ย
