  • 2021, Georgia
  • 1 Comment

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

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.

Green Knight, The (2021)

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

Lowery’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-hero’s journey picture to truly engage.    

⭐⭐⭐

Ides of March, The (2011)

  • Others
  • 2011, George Clooney, USA

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

Clooney’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. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Even non-climbing enthusiasts will fall in love with Tommy Caldwell in this well-made documentary as he and his climbing partner attempt to free climb a route up the legendary El Capitan that had been deemed impossible to scale.

Pasolini (2014)

  • Others
  • 2014, Abel Ferrara, France
  • Leave a comment

An unconventional, mosaic-like, though not always engaging account of the last day of Pasolini’s life—capturing the values, ideals and artistry of a filmmaker who was also an ideological provocateur.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Belladonna of Sadness (1973)

  • Others
  • 1973, Eiichi Yamamoto, Japan
  • 4 Comments

This psychedelic, violent and sexually-charged cult classic is unlike any other in early Japanese anime, about a woman making a pact with the devil in an act of desperation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
