  Dahomey 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Jan 2025

  We find ourselves in a void. Despite the considerable time that has passed since the colonial question was first posed, and with many African states now established as independent nations, one might ask: where is the cinema that reflects the current political reality?

  Stylistically, this film is commendable. It poses intellectually stimulating questions and employs an experimental form and structure. I find this approach wonderful and believe it is a visual continuation of the post colonial literary tradition.

  Honey and Ashes 1996

  ★★★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Introduction by Nadia Fares. 

  So condense and yet so ambitious with its storytelling.

  Nadia Fares interweaves three women’s lives with such a lucid manner at times. You can find yourself getting lulled.

  in an unforgiving world, where cruelty and callousness lurks in every corner, it can be a challenge to extend grace and patience, to recognize the humanity within one another. yet, amidst the struggle, sometimes all it takes is one soul to see the humanity in you.

  PlayTime 1967

  ★★★ Watched 01 Sep 2023 1

  Playtime is an absurdist, whimsical, silly comedy that fails to hit the right notes for me. This is only exacerbated when you’re in a roaring theater and you’re quiet as a church mouse. 

  What is the most commendable is how adventurous and inventive it is. 

  One lady in our theater had the laugh of a fucking hyena.
