Tharlo (2015)

Stunningly shot in black-and-white, Tseden shows immaculate control over his long take, slow cinema-style as a Tibetan sheep herder becomes stuck in a Kafka-esque scenario making his identity card, but an encounter with a hairdresser suggests the possibility of a new life.

Suzhou River (2000) A gritty and bitter urban tale of romantic obsession

Chinese film “Suzhou River”, whose 4k restoration version was somehow released in South Korean theaters a few days ago, is a gritty and bitter urban tale of romantic obsession. Like many of other contemporary Chinese arthouse films, the movie requires some patience due to its slow narrative pacing, but this rather modest work is impressive […]

The Convert

‘Only those who have been at sea can grasp the enormousness of the world,’ we’re told during Lee Tamahori’s plush historical epic of deadly muskets and Christianity on the rocks; even a 21st century land-lubber can understand the wrongs of imperialism. We’re out and about in 1830, in and around the Tasmanian Sea, where there’s […]

Yepyeni bir öneriyle sizlerleyim. Evet sizin de bildiğiniz gibi dünyaca ünlü yönetmen Asghar Farhadi filminden bahsediyoruz.

As morbid as it is, there are hundreds of thousands of hours of true crime podcasts, TV series, and films that either recount the true events of innocent people being dispatched by a depraved mind or take inspiration from these murders to create fictional […]

Psikolojik Gerilimden Büyük Bilim Kurgu Anlatılarına: Christopher Nolan

Sinemacı köşe yazarlarının yazılarına “Geçen gün bir film izledim…” benzeri girişler yapmaları hep garibime gitmiştir. Yani, sinema yazarının ne izlediğinden, izlerken ne yaşadığından bize ne, değil mi? Filme dair yazdıklarımız, son derece kişisel hislerimizden ziyade teknik meseleler üzerinden olmamalı mı? O yazılarda filme dair elle tutulur eleştirilerin sayısı 2-3 cümleyi aşmadığı için bu tip girişler, […]
