Memories of Murder 2003
Memories of Murder is a film that left me completely stunned. A gripping, unpredictable and deeply unsettling crime thriller that lingers long after the credits roll. Bong Joon-ho crafts a tense and atmospheric narrative, blending moments of dark humor with a sense of inescapable dread. The cinematography is breathtaking, capturing the contrast between the vast rural landscapes and the claustrophobic tension of the investigation. The editing is precise, ensuring that every scene flows seamlessly into the next, never wasting a…

Anora 2024
Anora is a unique film that gave me an out-of-the-box experience. I went to see it expecting just that, especially given all the buzz surrounding its Palme d’Or win at the Cannes Film Festival and the fact that it was directed by Sean Baker, who is quite respected within the cinephile community. I hadn’t seen any of his previous films, but I must say I was deeply impressed by the cinematic language (very frantic, but with a sense of focus…

Let Me In 2010
Let Me In is essentially an americanized copy-paste of Let the Right One In, and while it’s well-crafted, I didn’t find this approach as compelling as the original. Matt Reeves is one of my favorite filmmakers working today and he does an excellent job here, bringing his signature style to the film. Chloë Grace Moretz also delivers a strong performance, embodying the eerie yet vulnerable nature of her character. But despite the talent involved, Let Me In struggles to justify…

Let the Right One In 2008
I really loved Let the Right One In and its nuanced approach to multiple themes. It’s far more than just a horror film—at its core, it’s a coming of age story wrapped in a dark, unconventional romance. The film flirts with unsettling ideas, even touching on themes as disturbing as pedophilia, yet it never sensationalizes them. Instead, it crafts an eerie and poetic tale of loneliness, connection and survival. Unusual and unlike anything I’ve seen before, it stands out as…

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 2024
8/10
Witnessed
Furiosa - Uma Saga Mad Max é mais um belo conto da franquia de ação pós-apocalíptica criada por George Miller.
Esta espécie de prequel de Fury Road é bastante diferente em termos de tom, deixando de lado o ritmo frenético e apostando mais numa narrativa próxima do convencional, com menos ação e um investimento maior nos personagens principais.
Digo próxima, porque, na verdade, este filme não tem nada de convencional, como todos os outros filmes da saga. A…Translated from by -
Alien: Romulus 2024
Alien: Romulus é, definitivamente, o melhor filme da franquia desde Aliens.
Tecnicamente, é tão bom quanto Alien e Aliens. O design de produção é detalhado ao extremo, trazendo aquela estética retrofuturista do clássico de Ridley Scott e que cria toda uma textura e uma atmosfera dignas dos maiores elogios. Para além da atenção à ambientação, há também um cuidado sobrenatural com a fotografia e iluminação. Diria que estes aspetos técnicos, juntamente com o trabalho de som, são os principais pontos…
