  The Iron Claw 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Dec 2023

  The anti-irony sincerity of this film was so refreshing. 

  The first half was genuinely wholesome. The second half was classic tragedy.

  Each character was portrayed with honesty and fairness.

  Ambiguity perfected.

  Competing narratives and thriller tropes done with brilliance. A first class shining star of Korean cinema.

  Rashomon 1950

  ★★★★★ Watched 10 Jan 2019

  Literary in a way that feels right. Refreshingly sincere. Oh, what a state that a nihilistic look at human perversity refreshes, and yet it does in 2019. The themes of subjectivity are timeless, the cast is perfect, the music is beautiful, the script is flawless.

  Is anyone really good?
