Stalker 1979
How Stalker (1979) changed my perspective over art, cinema, and life. Today is my birthday, acknowledgement is a birthday gift to myself.
My first encounter with the works of the Soviet maestro Andrei Tarkovsky was by sheer accident. And just like many other films throughout my life, "Stalker" left a huge impact on me. The main difference here when compared to other motion pictures I came to experience is that the Lucca who first experienced "Stalker", wasn't gazed by the…

Satantango 1994
Need a reason to watch this ridiculously long film other than genuine appreciation for cinema? (why?) Here's one: masochism! You'll cherish those little breaks to eat, a necessary escape from the film's relentless grip. By the end you'll have a headache, but hey, that's a sign it worked.

However, the themes of this specific film were my cup of tea, so I was curious. This delay, coupled with my inconsistent film-watching habits lately, made me forget that it was directed by the same neon addict who made "We're All Going to the World's Fair".…

Barbie 2023
When I first heard about a Barbie film directed by Greta Gerwig, I already knew exactly how Greta's approach would be, and somehow she did it even more marvelously, and feminist.
Barbie is an extremely self-aware, and also stupidly fun movie, and every scene in the Barbie world felt more than fabulous, I watched it with a smile on my face for all the time. The glamorous figurines, the dancing and singing, and of course the amazing Kens and Barbies…Translated from by -
The Velvet Underground and Nico: A Symphony of Sound 1966
The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band.
