  Happy Together 1997

  ★★★½ Watched 18 Jan 2025

  Tbh, i think the other Wong Kar-Wai movies are better, this one just didn’t click for me the same way. That being said it is a raw look at a relationship that is portrayed more realistically than usually in movies. RIP to the great Leslie Cheung who always did a great job in such roles.

  Kneecap 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Jan 2025

  Entertaining and a focus on a topic that isn’t too common in films — language and cultural preservation. I liked the small animations/cartoons that were also drawn in the film. Goes well with the international movement of solidarity against greater oppressive powers.

  Neptune Frost 2021

  ★½ Watched 26 Feb 2023

  good visuals, cinematography, and music. there are some interesting tidbits like "imagining hell is a privilege" etc. The overall theme/meaning is well-intentioned.

  Overall though, this film moves at a glacial page, the dialog is very difficult to understand (most of it is metaphorical or allegorical), I didn't care for most of the musical scenes, and I was very bored throughout. It felt as if I were attending a university lecture. The plot is mystifying and the "hacking" aspect is also not very clear to me. I guess it really is a critic's film, and not one for simpletons like myself.

  The Sixth Sense 1999

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Oct 2023

  Really good, tension built up well and great acting from the kid. emotionally touching. Not knowing what the twist was in advance also helped.
