Dersu Uzala 1975
I'm almost at the end of my Kurosawa journey and I couldn't be more enamored with the erudite director. Dersu Uzala is another gem in his oeuvre. This is a story of a memorable friendship, an ethereal bond that portrays the best of humanity and Kurosawa, once again, uses nature to enrich the story, embellishing the scenery with snow-covered landscapes rippling away into the distance, the icebergs melting to a roaring flood, and the labyrinth of jungle that only a guide like Dersu can keep you on the right track.

A Hero 2021
Farhadi's best since A Separation.
The genius of the script is evident in the complexity of the web of lies that doesn't allow you to take sides. Everyone involved is guilty to some extent and Farhadi leverages this to enhance the drama and conflict, laying bare the utter limitations of human beings in dealing with the shitstorm of moral dilemmas. Above all, I admire his ability to navigate through all of this complexity without losing the audience as you're hooked throughout, anxiously awaiting for a resolution, but to no avail. After all, this is a Farhadi flick.Translated from by
