  Revanche 2008

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 27 Aug 2023

  7 days later and this film still haunts me. Going in knowing nothing about the movie, I expected the plot to depict the classic revenge story. While it eventually does show some sort of revenge, it goes much deeper into topics like grief, trauma, accountability and redemption. In a rare twist of turns for the genre, the screenplay is also able to humanize the people causing the tragedy and show us the catastrophic consequences one false step will have on…

  In the Mood for Love 2000

  ★★★★★ Watched 28 Feb 2022 1

  Wong Kar-Wai always has been a master of capturing dream like scenes between beautiful people but this right here is his masterpiece. Two lost souls that only become alive at night. Circling each other until they can’t resist anymore. Desire, loneliness, love, hate, loyalty, betrayal. Wong Kar-Wai somehow managers to play with all these opposites and brings them together in this memorizing poem. 

  Two iconic actors. Exceptional production design. And those outfits — unbelievable. 

  A perfect movie.

  Ordet 1955

  ★★ Watched 04 Mar 2025

  "Even in pain there is beauty."

  Find yourself someone who loves you as much as Scandinavian directors love to talk about faith. Unfortunately didn't work out for me as the performance and the pace just left me bored out of my mind.

  The Scarlet Empress 1934

  ★★★★ Watched 03 Mar 2025

  "Power is the most intoxicating thing in the world."

  The Scarlet Empress is a bombastic masterpiece. Every scene is a visual feast, with opulent sets and costumes that seem to explode off the screen. You could pause any frame and hang it on a wall as a work of art. The attention to detail is staggering, each moment packed with lavish design that makes the film feel more like an experience than just a story.

  Marlene Dietrich is a force…

  Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles 1975

  ½ Watched 02 Dec 2022

  Sure I probably don't get it but whatever. This have been the most boring 3hours I have ever spent on a movie. That Sight & Sound decided to put that on the #1 spot of their "Best Movies of All Time" list is a complete joke and an insult to all the great movies of the past 100 years. The reason for this pick is obviously clear: it was directed by a woman.
