Comedy

Champion of the Palm d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Anorais an absolute wonder of a film that surpasses expectations. Written and directed by Sean Baker, Anora is his best film yet and is unconventional in the way it combines comedy, drama, and romantic genres. The writing is vivid, and the story leaves audiences breathless. This is the romantic comedy masterpiece the world needs. It displays how young love includes many moments to cherish while also navigating obstacles when things […]

‘Lamb’ Review

It’s impossible to talk about “Lamb,” the Icelandic creature thriller, without revealing its central theme. Co-written by first-time-writer/director Valdimar Jóhannsson, who used to work as a special effects crew for Hollywood blockbusters like “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and “Prometheus,” and Icelandic poet Sjón, “Lamb” might be the oddest film you will ever see […]

Movie Reviews

Few are bold enough, or capable enough, to excel in making the kind of film that is genuinely weird but still manages to have widespread appeal. Yorgos Lanthimos is one of those filmmakers. He continues his reign as the master of the twisted fable with his new movie Kinds of Kindness.  This trio of Ovidian-like fables […]

“Saute ma ville”, dit-elle: On Chantal and Being (Miserably) Alive

I don’t remember when I watched Chantal Akerman’s Saute ma ville for the first time. Or how many times I watched it again. The only thing I’m sure is that every time I watch it, I feel like the death is calling me, with its hysterical laugh in my ears. So familiar yet so terrifying. […]

Past Lives

Tarihte küreselliğin ve bireyselliğin en fazla arttığı çağda yaşıyoruz desem, eminim çoğunuz bana katılacaktır. Fizikî sınırların bazı açılardan anlamsızlaştığı bu çağda, bireyler de -daha önce hiç olmadığı kadar- kendi yaşamları üzerinde karar verme özgürlüğüne sahip. Yeterli paranız ve/veya eğitim altyapınız varsa istediğiniz ülkede, istediğiniz şekilde yaşayabilirsiniz (en azından teoride). Böyle bir dünyada birine bağlanarak diğer […]

The Room Next Door

Başrollerini Tilda Swinton ve Julianne Moore’un paylaştığı, Altın Aslan ödüllü The Room Next Door’u nihayet izledik. Pedro Almodóvar’ın bu son harikası Venedik’te prömiyer yaptığı günden bu yana merak içindeydim. Almodóvar’ın ilk İngilizce filmi olunca elimiz ayağımıza dolandı. İnanın çok sevmek istedim ama bu sefer olmadı. Her şeye rağmen Almodóvar baş tacımız. Pedro Almodóvar’ın yönetmen koltuğunda […]

Zemeckis, Hanks and Wright were all together for Forrest Gump, and now they are focusing on a specific house. This film has a specific gimmick to it.
