"Immoral Tales," directed by Walerian Borowczyk, might have been trying to explore female eroticism, sexual desire, incest, and how sexuality intersects with religion. But rather than actually engaging with these themes from a woman's perspective, it feels more like a cinematic portrayal of male fantasy. The film sexualizes younger women and presents female desire in a way that feels more voyeuristic than insightful. Maybe it wanted to examine repression and liberation, but at the end of the day, it still comes across as a man's perception of women’s sexuality, blurring the line between art and objectification.

The mini-series does an incredible job showing grief from so many perspectives—through death, emotional distance, and the lengths people go to just to feel something, anything. And all of it lands on Catherine Ravenscroft, who’s carrying guilt she shouldn’t…

Nosferatu 2024
Review: Nosferatu (2024, dir. Robert Eggers)
Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a film that was neither what I expected nor what I was ready to see. It’s definitely a cinematic experience, but does it live up to F.W. Murnau's 1922 original? Not really. That said, it still manages to create its own unique identity while paying respect to the original.
These two versions really highlight how cinema has evolved and keeps evolving. Eggers’ Nosferatu is visually stunning and atmospheric, but there…
