Pierrot le Fou 1965
“I believe you, liar”.
In striped sailor’s outfits, Anna Karina and Jean-Paul Belmondo speed a cherry-red convertible across the Mediterranean coast. They dance, they sing, they rhyme in their speech, they converse aimlessly, they write poems, they smoke cigarettes, they slander society, they love, they kill. Lost, languid; they have nothing to do except retain their lust for life. They are everything I love about the French New Wave.
“Look at the sea, the waves, the sky… life may be…

Casino Royale 2006
Casino Royale was one of the first films my Dad ever made me watch. Of course, we skipped a few scenes- I was 7. By the time I'd turned 10, we'd finished the entire Bond series together.

I genuinely don’t care who judges me for this entry cause being able to pick up the vestiges of that distant feeling of peace has me uncontrollably sobbing right now and it’s too powerful not to have logged on here. I’m not exactly sure why; maybe it’s sadness, reflecting on exactly how far the past is, or maybe it’s bliss-…

Glass Onion 2022
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
The most 3.9 starred film I’ve ever seen.
A few things:
1. Rian Johnson is an undisputed virtuoso but please do not hit me with the “she has a twin sibling I didn’t tell you about” gimmick ever again.
2. Miles Bron, specifically ‘Bron’, is perhaps the best possible name for an empty-minded megalomaniac. Don’t ask me why, it just objectively is.
