  Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks 2002

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Dec 2024 9

  I recently complained that Asian cinema has films a little bit too long for my liking. Now I know that I will never have to watch anything longer than this absolute masterpiece. Tie Xi Qu is a documentary, a type of cinema that I haven't explored any bit these past years, but I can affirm with limited documentary knowledge that this is like no other. The whole film is separated into 3 parts : Rust, Remnants and Rails each being…

  Satantango 1994

  ★★★★★ Watched 02 Nov 2024 1

  I did it, I finally watched it and to say the least this is one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. To sum up the plot in a few words, the film is about a Hungarian village assisting the return to a man called Irimias, considered like the devil for some, and a sort of messiah for others. Slowly we discover that the only Satan is the village in itself and the inhabitants are just living…

  Blue Velvet 1986

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 Jan 2025 2

  In honor of his passing I've decided to start watching David Lynch's filmography, and what a way a start. It's beautiful, sometimes confusing, surrealistic, what is there not to love. It treats these themes of passion, love, lust, guilt in such an experimental and shocking way, you can't look away. With that added to these warm lights, that make these scenes eerely close to the viewer, and of course this filmography that feels perfectly anti conventional, with this seemingly free…
