  Battle Royale 2000

  I can’t see where a lot of aesthetics and concepts of “battle royal”-media like hunger games and such comes from

  Not the Kind of Yorgos Lanthimos for me… I was kinda bored and it wasn’t interesting enough for me to squeeze out an analysis

  1001 Frames 2025

  Iranian cinema strikes again. 
  A film with a very simple form that builds to something we already know is coming. A reality for women everywhere, and here we can’t turn away from it. 
  The film concept is plain but subtile: a camera, an actress and a voice that becomes more and more invasive as the “audition” goes on. I especially liked the ending that gave a hope for the industry in the form of a meta resolution: We held our breath and now we can breath again. Maybe it will get better.
