Mickey 17 2025
75th Berlin International Film Festival Diaries IV:
Mickey 17 was the film I was most excited to watch at the festival—the idea of seeing Bong Joon Ho’s first film after Parasite at the festival where it premiered was thrilling in itself. It was the one film I was determined to catch, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed.
I watched it in Urania, marking my second film experience there, and once again, the poor sound quality of the theater stood out as…

The Narrow Road to the Deep North 2025
75th Berlin International Film Festival Diaries III:

Secondly, the emotional intensity of the film foreshadows the masterful film-noirs he would later create. Especially, the prison and escape scenes draw the audience in, intensifying the atmosphere. Last but not least, the portrayal of internal conflicts of unjustly accused characters and society's unfair attitude towards them.
