    Three Colours: Red

    ★★★★★

    Blue
    White

    This review will serve as a retrospective on the trilogy and how its many themes intersect and intertwine.

    Although even when judged on its own merits, Red is a fantastic meditation on the unspoken brotherhood of mankind and how one unexpected encounter can change countless lives.

    Once Upon a Time in Anatolia

    Filmmaking at its most mind-numbing, director Nuri Bilge Ceylan has admitted that here he attempted to make a film that is as tiring, dragged-out, and difficult to watch as it could possibly be, using the defence of mimicking the characters own battles as justification for this decision. While I can understand where this comes from I think the decision to make your film as uninteresting as possible is completely and utterly inane. I do not believe every film has to…
