Ferrari 2023
No digital romantic boat rides into the blue horizon accompanied by Moby's "One of These Mornings" this time. Instead, Ferrari is defined by a clinical, classical style as we watch apathetic business and technical discussions play out. A technician and artist whose craft comes first at everybody's expense. The constant human cost does not matter as long as the artist can continue to strive for the perfection of his craft to engineer and control his way through his own grief.…

Spring Breakers 2012
"Dreaming in a dream."
"Seems like a dream, seems like a dream."A realist America through a Dream-state. A shift from Korine's earlier works of mundanity and aimlessness on the fringes of society to an otherworldly montage of the American Dream. Abandoning typical realist qualities in favour of a surreal vision that never begins or ends. Success in America is earning money as a means to live in the pleasures of consumption.
Violence is inherent in the pursuit of the…

Rap World 2024
Illuminating the Illuminati. Never seen me do a bukkake on Benghazi.
Jason just preposed monogomy to Kiera but she is clearly feeling Riley Byro more on the otherhand instead.
If you hated me why don't you just kill me... Because what I'm going through right now has not been felt since World War II by some people that were in it.

The Seed of the Sacred Fig 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Unsurprisingly as a European coproduction and Cannes prize winner, this film about oppression in the Middle East makes vague and basic political statements with little development. The first half is nothing I haven't seen before. Obvious points about how women are treated under a theocracy and how the government deals with resistance. Uninspired filmmaking and particularly poor lighting and colouring make the experience of being presented with these generic political gestures as the women of the family are stuck in…

Waltz with Bashir 2008
A man who feels a bit bad about taking part in atrocities against Palestinians has made a movie all about himself so you feel sympathetic towards him and the IDF, instead of the Palestinians they massacred. There are only 2 minutes in this entire film that focus on Palestinians, and this is the only part of the film where real footage is used instead of animation. It shows many, many dead Palestinians and only serves to grossly shock the audience.…
