  The Passion of Joan of Arc 1928

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Aug 2023

  [Joan, whose expression is that of a saint, folds her hands on her breast and raises her eyes to heaven. On Joan's face there lingers the expression of one who is far removed from this world.]
  I don’t have a long arse review in me but just know I’ve been crying on and off for the best part of four hours now. This is definitely one of my favourite films of all time.

  Taste of Cherry 1997

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2024

  [“Have you lost all hope? Have you ever looked at the sky when you wake in the morning? At dawn, don't you want to see the sun rise? The red and yellow of the sun at sunset, don't you want to see that anymore?”]
   
  It’s not often that a film’s script will align perfectly with my own thoughts, but Mr Bagheri’s attempt to dissuade Mr Badii from committing suicide by urging him to cherish the beauty of creation amidst his struggles, be this in the form of cherries, greenery, or celestial bodies, resonated deeply.
