Nobody Knows 2004
children so accustomed to silence and acceptance — one being told off when she plays with nail varnish. one getting shunned when he attempts to mess about with boys playing video games. another feeling deserted (yet again) by a new found friend. and the eldest, a 12 year old loaded with great emotional and physical responsibilty, finally finding bliss in playing a sport that was once just a dream, only to return to a position heavier than his (already) critical…

Where Is the Friend's House? 1987
1/3 Koker Trilogy
a boy although daunted by those of age, makes constant decisions to listen actively but selectively. never as a lack of respect, but an innocent desire to listen to his heart. resonating with him felt straightforward and convenient.
the struggle on the otherhand, was understanding its counterpart - the adults’ dismissal of children’s voices. kiarostami managed (subtly) to give a toe-dip into every character surrounding the youth. how adults demand to be heard and followed, an entitlement drawn…

Black Bag 2025
sharp, a couple of tongue-in-cheek moments, cb power dressed from head to toe and the movie bathed in that soft cinematic glow — soo immaculately chic. trust that i’ll be dropping the words black bag to my girlfriend everytime she asks how much i’ve spent on online shopping. spare your partner from stress, they said!

90s new york, fire club music, colours, prints, constantly crashing out at your 9-5 and a falafel with hot sauce, a side of baba ghanoush and a seltzer. hilarious, unapologetic and an absolute fucking delight!

TÁR 2022
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
as a person who isn’t particularly musically inclined, i was stepping in blindly. i was prepared to feel out of place, expecting to feel a bit dim.
now we can really understand what the meaning of music is, it’s the way it makes you feel when you hear it. we dont have to know a lot of stuff about sharps, flats, and cords and all that business in order to understand music.
—and i did. the countless jargons and big…

TÁR 2022
after all, “a soul selects her own society”. but remember, the flip side of that selection closes the valves of one’s attention
watching-rewatching tár mimics the sensation of listening to an unfamiliar, new piece of music when we tend to (initially) focus on only one component at a time—may it be structure, rhythm, melody or lyric, all individually and equally overwhelming. then eventually towards your third, fourth, fifth listen, your mind begins to automatically bind every component that you’ve unconsciously…
