Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2004
Every time someone asks me what my favourite film of all time is, I immediately think of this one. The thing that makes it so good is that it makes you feel things you probably thought you had forgotten how to feel. It’s like feeling what you felt when you met your first love, when they were a stranger, when the thought of them kept you up at night, when you were excited to see them and when you were…

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives 2010
ever since i was a kid i avoided going to funerals. the idea of death felt distant to me, i never really understood it, i couldn’t tell why it happens or why people quite deserve this eternal sorrow and emptiness inside after they lose a loved one. then my grandpa died. i was 9 years old i think. i really love(d) him (putting the d in a parentheses because the one thing i know is that love is eternal, it…

La Ceremonie 1995
Masterclass. Everything about it should be thoroughly studied. The distance Charbol creates between the camera and his audience, the independence he gives us, allowing us to form our own opinions and make our own perceptions, Huppert’s chilling acting, the chewing gum scene, the tissue scene, the bed scene leading to the film’s violent, angry, rebellious climax, where two women bond over their murderous instincts which are finally intertwined, the epic ending. The insanely perfect script, how deep it manages to…

All About My Mother 1999
Almodóvar very wisely chose Barcelona for this film to be set in. Barcelona’s architecture very much feels like this story’s characters; refreshing, delightful, unconventional, occasionally not making sense, beautiful to the eyes of the ones that can appreciate true beauty and emotions. I’m tearing up while writing this not only because I clearly can’t recover, but also because this film reinvents beauty standards, through a story that celebrates womanhood, maternity and motherhood, queerness, grief, pain and joy. Everyone belongs in…

Mirrored Mind 2005
“I’m tired. In a both spiritual and physical way, I’m tired.”
i can’t describe what i feel. i never know what i feel, i just know that it is this feeling of uncertainty and a force that’s keeping me away from being motivated, by any means. that’s making everything tiring and exhausting. excruciating is a word i could use for it at times. it’s this feeling that you are not living your life you’re just watching your body move and…

Ritual 2000
"each day, she postpones the morrow, by transforming today to yesterday"
you feel tired after watching this film. not because it's bad, but because it's so underwhelmingly perfect. not in a bad way. it just manages to make you feel exactly like this woman feels. the need to repeat the same things, keep up with the rituals, make tomorrow be yesterday, make things come in a way that will not hurt you, in a way that you will expect. all…Translated from by
