    I have never been more glad that I waited to see something with a crowd in a movie theatre. Bonus points for one of the greatest title card drops in cinematic history.

    My face hurts from smiling. There's not much more that needs saying here, one of the most heartwarming stories of an unlikely friendship out there, The Intouchables is an absolute joy to behold.

    March Around the World 2023 - Japan (12/30)

    A thrilling, unsettling and deeply symbolic study of self-perception, insecurity and identity, it's no surprise that The Face of Another lives on almost sixty years since its release. What was perhaps prophetic at the time now also feels like a very real and somewhat uncomfortable allegory for the anonymity and altar egos we all live via the internet, surely a testament to the thoughtfulness and craft of both this film and its original source material. This is undoubtedly a must-watch for any cinephile.
