  Mirch Masala 1987

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Mar 2021

  wow, this was so good. it’s quite tragic this was smita patil’s last movie, she’s such a talent. the cuckoo plot culminates with an insane and poetic and visually stunning ending, and overall manages a critique of patriarchy, caste, colonialism with a clear and independent feminist vision. plus all the masala of your dreams (and nightmares?)

  Goal Dreams 2006

  just a perfect tragic comedy. an excellent sports movie. the austrian coach really kills me— i love a continued mistranslation. i love the gazan / west bank / chilean cliques. the team is a mess ofc but their commitment so clearly extends beyond the pitch. a breath of fresh air. viva viva palestina!!
