Eyes Wide Shut 1999
Lined with ambiguity, Eyes Wide Shut is a rewarding film to rewatch. I had a much better understanding this time around; not an opaque interpretation but I recognized ideas that interested me.
Actually, I don't think that there is much intent from Kubrick to communicate concrete meaning. On the contrary, this film poses contradictions that underline the complexity of human sexuality.
Throughout this film, we explore the fine line between temptation and restraint, as well as the dichotomy of sexual…

Dreams 1990
Kurosawa creates a vividly colored anthology inspired by his dreams. They reflect on his personal life and Japan's 20th-century tragedies. It feels honest and it's hypnotic to watch.
I have a complex relationship with my dreams, and this film spoke to me. It is very different from his earlier works but shows his transformation as a creative.
The final chapter, "Village of the Watermills," was my favorite. Life can be so simple and yet so satisfying, but I often fear…

Ran 1985
Has a war film ever looked this colorful? It was worth the watch for the cinematography alone. The production design and costuming were equally amazing.
It's stunning to look at but the screenplay was a weak point. I thought that it had structural faults and it failed to grip me.

Mickey 17 2025
What’s better than a movie with Robert Pattinson? A movie with multiple Robert Pattinsons!
Watching it in a packed theater definitely made the experience, as the crowd was having a ball.
Bong Joon Ho’s trademark acute sense of rhythm is on display and does wonders for the movie's comedic timing. However, the story itself was so-so and I did not like the way the exposition was delivered. It could not have been less subtle.
Overall, I can’t say I appreciated it formally, but it was a wonderful time at the movies.
Yours sincerely,

Pink Floyd: The Wall 1982
I can't tell if I like this or if I hate it. There are moments when I feel like I'm witnessing world-class cinema and there are moments when I think it's unwatchable garbage. Regardless, it's a product of geniuses.
The editing, for one, is insane. The repetition of shots not only draws connections between childhood experiences and the adult psyche but adds to the chaotic energy. Crazy cuts across time and space, disjointed and seamless, force us to consider the…
