There was moment in Paris where me and a friend stumbled into the FIA offices by pure chance. And there, at the entrance, lay that iconic yellow helmet. And only that, nearly moved me to tears. Ayrton Senna is an absolute hero. He is the greatest racing driver the world has ever seen, and this documentary is absolute perfection as an ode to his life. The doc is one of the most emotional pieces of filmmaking I’ve come across, in…

Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace 1999
I owe a lot to this film. Not only did it get me into fiction when I was younger but it also paved the way in my interest in the music of film, and by consequence, the process of film as a whole.

Probably one my bigger takeaways is how genuinely incredible Robert Pattinson is, the guy keeps putting on these weird voices that never feel like impressions, and here he…

A Complete Unknown 2024
Missed the first thirty minutes today because I was waiting for my qualifying projecting show verdict (I passed!) but this got better on rewatch. It became more apparent that Mangold is doing something different here, where I forget that I am watching an musical biopic, which is a feeling that’s very hard to shake with everything else I’ve watched in the genre. It feels genuine, it doesn’t really feel like anything is being shoed in, it just works. Chalamet’s performance…
