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…

On the Silver Globe 1988
Totally singular. Simultaneously captivating and insufferable. The expression of ideas here is more valuable than its articulation. The experience warrants a watch, despite it not being typically entertaining.
The camera work and editing were unconventional, which I liked. Handheld chaos and unconventional jump cuts - so many jump cuts. I felt liberated.
I could not follow the dialogue for my life. It was occasionally profound but largely pseudo-philosophical prose, delivered by characters writhing and screaming. Żuławski also uses this style…

The Idiots 1998
My first official Dogme 95 watch. I can see why Sean Baker adores this movie.
It's liberating to watch because of its form. At a time when long-established voices in the industry dismissed digital filmmaking as being "merde" (quoting a critic who got thrown out of a Cannes screening), the Dogme 95 founders stood defiantly and created works that changed cinema forever.
The Idiots is subversive and intriguing. It was not at all what I expected it to be. Von…

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,

Se7en 1995
I was speechless upon its conclusion. Even now I find it difficult to articulate myself. It took a while for me to get into it but once it started moving, I was hooked.
The film had a fascinating discourse on indulgence. Many of my contradictory opinions and feelings on the topic were displayed on the screen between Somerset, Mills, and John Doe, which made it a contemplative experience. This is one of those movies that's going to stick with me for a while.
There was an insightful pre-screening Q&A with the screenwriter, Andrew Kevin Walker, too.
