  Dogtooth 2009

  Watched 18 Mar 2025

  What an incredibly brilliant portrayal of a disturbingly authoritarian family dynamic and the harm that absolute control and careful manipulation can have on the human psyche. Furthermore, Dogtooth can also be interpreted as an allegory of authoritarian and fascist regimes and the tactics they employ to mantain their populations under ultimate control.

  Kotaro Lives Alone 2022

  Watched 14 Mar 2025

  A heart-warming and raw portrayal of found family, childhood trauma and the difficult journey of healing from it. This limited Anime series manages in just a short 10 episodes to capture the humor and tragedy of Kotaro's unfortunate situation in the most graceful way possible. Kotaro's resilience and profound kindness is inspiring and incredibly soul-stiring. I truly appreciated all the characters and their interactions with each other. "Kotaro Lives Alone" is a reminder that love, kindness and friendship can be found even in the darkest of situations.

  And yes I cried. A lot.
