  Inland Empire 2006

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 20 Jan 2023 6

  I figured one day I'd just wake up and and find out what the hell yesterday was all about. I'm not too keen on thinkin' about tomorrow. And today's slipping by.

  It's hard to write a review of Inland Empire. 
  It's the most spiritual, abstract, confusing, and scary movie of Lynch's sublime filmography. I think of it as a love letter to his fans, a demonstration of his creativity, and a puzzle that will probably never be solved. 

  Despite being…

  Twin Peaks 1989

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 09 Jun 2024

  There is a sadness in this world, for we are ignorant of many things. Yes, we are ignorant of many beautiful things — things like the truth.

  Diane, it's 7:30 pm and I've finished the first two seasons of Twin Peaks again.

  One year ago, I attended a fair where you could find everything you want. As I love buying movie stuff, I was searching for some DVDs or posters that would fit nicely in my room. The problem was that there was only one stall dedicated to films, and I remember buying a Taxi Driver Blu-Ray collection and The Shining Puzzle.

  In the spirit of offering the customers some gifts, they gave me some little posters…

  Why return to the City of God, where God forgets about you?

  Tokyo Story 1953

  ★★★★★ Watched 12 Jan 2023

  Isn't life disappointing?

  Tokyo Story is a tough film to talk about.
  Its realism reflects a taboo and normalized issue in society that I've noticed a lot of times in other people, but it's one of the hardest to change.

  Selfishness is a problem that starts from the beginning of life, and I can accept it to a certain level, but doing it to your parents is inscrutable.
  That's why art is one of the most important things in human…
