I feel like I have woken up in a daze in the middle of the night from a vivid dream. After a few minutes, lucidity returns as the most significant details of the dream begin to fade. As the minutes progress, my memory begins to fail me, unable to recover a single vestige of the dream. However, there is one thing I can remember: what it made me feel. That pure and indescribable emotion is all that remains in me even though I can't rationalize it.

In the Mood for Love 2000
The night descends, wrapping me in a blanket of quietude and gloom. I'm caught in a liminal state between sleep and wakefulness, a pleasant drowsiness settling over me. A sense of melancholy weighs upon me, and I yearn for an unexpected comfort...The perfect moment to watch this film.

The Ascent 1977
A descent into the abyss of the human soul, where the flicker of hope intertwines with the shadows of despair. In a world torn apart by war, Sotnikov and Rybak embody the struggle between spirit and matter, between idealism and reality. How far are we willing to sacrifice our humanity to survive? And what price are we willing to pay for our ideals?

Still Walking 2008
Each member of this family has hopes and wishes for change. However, words that are expected to be said are left unsaid, and when communicated aren't followed through, preventing them from taking the step towards change.
It is a strong yet gentle reminder of familiar bonds and quality time. A visually minimalist film, subtle and elegant but with a story full of richness and life.

Perfect Days 2023
Mushin, a state of clarity, acceptance, openness and non-resistance, reached when the heart-mind (kokoro) is free of thoughts and attachments.
At first glance, Hirayama's life seems anodyne and mundane. But on closer inspection, it becomes clear that he mantains a rich inner life. He spends his days peacefully, appreciating the beauty that surrounds him, connecting with the unseen and the unheard, embracing the harmony of light and shadows, and choosing how he wants to live in every moment.
