  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★½ Rewatched 14 Mar 2025

  Second time watching this.,

  Woody Allen meets a Jude Appatow movie

  I love the adult version of a Eurotrip, the tour guide and the other people in the tour adds an edge.

  I love the complicity and complexity of the relationship between the two cousins.

  At times, it feels the two cousins are just the two sides of a coin: a too complex real person you need to split in two characters to make it into a mainstream movie. Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin were perfect.

  The circular narrative and the ending.

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 28 Jan 2025

  Very impressive film with a lot of ideas around family, money, migration, racism, religion, architecture, loss, pain, patronage...

  The first scene is incredible: the atmosphere he builds by closing the shot to build a series of dutch shots and close-ups to end up with the Statue of the liberty

  The images of the film create a brutalist feeling: the ideas are huge but simple, massive and oppressive, dark and block-driven.

  I feel Brady Corbet has watched a lot of films by Paul Thomas Anderson, especially in the second half.

  Guy Pearce in this film... something else.

  In Spanish, I would call The Brutalist, La Megalopolis bien
