A hilarious take on general knowledge and pop culture in the return of Philomena Cunk, a perfect and necessary satire of pretentious expert-driven shows, sparking that “of course, I know this” feeling in viewers. Loved it again!

The Substance 2024

“Wild Strawberries” is one of the films that impacted me the most. Its exploration of Freud’s ideas, particularly through the dream sequences, is both profound and haunting. Bergman masterfully uses dreams to uncover the protagonist’s subconscious, revealing fears, regrets, and desires. Despite its depth, the film captures the audience’s attention because it speaks to the shared human experience we all relate to. Few directors have managed to “film” a dream as credibly as Bergman did, capturing the surreal and emotional texture of the unconscious.
