  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  Are you and Nasha open?

  My first film of 2025! Bong Joon-ho’s English-language features are never the best way to introduce a viewer to his films. From Snowpiercer and Okja to Mickey17, his sci-fi projects are far from gripping compared to his works that were filmed in South Korea. Without comparison, this new feature is thrilling enough in the final scenes. Perhaps the exposition is too long, and the story doesn’t officially start until you’re thirty minutes into it.

  Nosferatu 2024

  So cinematic! Every element here fits. But it’s the use of language that fascinates me the most.

  Horseplay 2022

  Four points:

  1. I just know it smells in that house.

  2. This is a mockery of homosexuality. But you know, sometimes it really starts there.

  3. If I were in the company of these hypersexual, hypermasculine boys, I would k*ll myself in front of them to change the trajectory of their lives.

  4. The film should’ve ended with an orgy.

  This short is cruel. Why would you give us an idea of meeting someone we like moments before the world ends?! But yeah: when the world is ending and you have no other option to live, do whatever you want! Dance to your favorite songs! Eat whipped cream! Go to a toy store! Watch a film! Kiss a man!
