  Comrades, Almost a Love Story 1996

  ★★★★★ Watched 05 Jun 2022

  There's really something in the air when a romance film is set in Hong Kong or maybe I'm just a sucker for any film with Maggie Cheung in it. Teresa Teng's songs will now forever hit differently. It's a crime that only 17k people on this site have seen it.

  Yi Yi 2000

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Jan 2022

  Heartwarming and full of life. The film immediately makes you feel like you are a part of the family's messy yet somewhat familiar everyday experiences. Can't help feeling emotional especially for the final scene. It is also an added bonus that I was somewhat able to understand the language used and its nuances.
  A beautiful and great film to start the year 2022 with. This film deserves all the praise it receives.

  "My uncle says, we live three times as long since man invented movies."
  "How can that be?"
  "It means movies give us twice of what we get from daily life."

  Expected more but I guess nothing can reach the highs Parasite has set. Definitely his most lighthearted tone wise in his filmography. Was still thoroughly entertained.

  Needle drops in a Guardians film will never not be awesome.

  Drive My Car 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 15 Aug 2022

  An emotionally cathartic film which I have been desperately searching for these past few months. Last 20 minutes is probably a top 10 tearjerk moment in film.
