  Her 2013

  ★★★★ Rewatched 17 Mar 2025

  i have so many questions. Really enjoyed the quite profound discourse on love, emotion, relations and the post-human self, however I must admit that the striking white, Western dystopian setting kind of broke the charm.

  The Conversation 1974

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  Most remarkable, felt like a much different style of not only Coppola, but the American 70s in general. Particularly interesting was the acting, as well as the portrayal of characters, their actions and manner, seeming much more 'real,' organic. As to the plot itself, I was really captivated by the surveillance theme, echoing Hitchcock's Rear Window and Kachyňa's Ucho. Great depiction and overall technical execution of Harry's paranoia, with tons of little hints at the character's loss of sanity. A great film.

  Mulholland Drive 2001

With each viewing (by now probably the fourth) I further discover its depth, enchanted by the genius world of Lynch. CHE BELLISIMO, speechless.

From the very first shot my thoughts went 'oh well, this is going to be a long hour,' and boy was I surprised... The Cronenbergian technodystopian narrative to my impression fits perfectly the Caligari-like (almost expressionist) acting and format, each scene prompting further resemblances to other works, most notably the Arronovsky's brain-pen shot. Combined with a masterwork soundtrack of heavy industrial noise, the entire process…
