Normal People 2020
Connell’s world is one of quiet intensity, where intellect and emotion wrestle beneath a composed exterior. Raised in a small Irish town, he moves between two vastly different social spheres—his working-class home and the privileged world of his elite school—never fully belonging to either. His brilliance is effortless, yet his self-doubt is relentless. As he navigates love, class, and identity, his deepest struggle lies in articulation: the words he cannot say, the feelings he cannot fully express. Marked by sensitivity and restraint, his journey is one of longing, connection, and the unspoken weight of who he is versus who he wishes to be.

Alphaville 1965
A hypnotic fusion of science fiction, film noir, and philosophical inquiry. Jean-Luc Godard crafts a dystopian vision where logic reigns supreme, emotions are outlawed, and language itself is under siege. Through shadow-drenched cinematography and disorienting, documentary-style realism, the film transforms contemporary Paris into a cold, totalitarian future. At its center is Lemmy Caution, a hardboiled detective navigating this sterile world, whose greatest weapon is not violence but poetry—the last vestige of human soul. Both cerebral and dreamlike, Alphaville is less a conventional narrative than an enigmatic, existential puzzle, interrogating love, freedom, and the mechanization of thought.

Wings of Desire 1987
Wings of Desire is a transcendent meditation on existence, love, and the human condition. It follows Damiel, an angel who drifts through Berlin, observing humanity with quiet reverence, privy to their innermost thoughts yet forever detached from their experiences. His yearning for sensation, for the weight of existence, is awakened when he falls for a solitary trapeze artist, compelling him to renounce his ethereal state. Wim Wenders crafts a film of profound lyricism, where the interplay of luminous black-and-white cinematography and bursts of color mirror the film’s thematic depth. It’s a poetic, deeply introspective work—one that lingers in the mind long after the final frame.
