    Memento

    ★★★½

    Trying to write a review of Memento… but I keep losing track of what I was saying. Maybe it's the way the movie unfolds—disjointed, fragmented, like memories slipping through my fingers.

  • Throne of Blood

    Throne of Blood

    ★★★★½

    At its core, the movie explores the destructive nature of desire. The protagonist’s relentless quest for power is both mesmerizing and horrifying, as every step forward on his dark path unspools into further chaos and inevitable demise. Kurosawa uses haunting imagery and atmospheric tension to illustrate that when ambition knows no bounds, it doesn’t just corrupt—it destroys. In this sense, the film feels like a timeless parable (Macbeth fills perfectly in this japanese context), a cautionary tale that remains as relevant today as it did centuries ago.

    Nicolas Cage looks like my aunt. Bill Clinton scares the fuck out of me.
