  • Unbelievable

    Unbelievable 2019

    ★★★★★ Watched 27 Sep 2021

    Unbelievable is a new benchmark in finding the truth through cinematic storytelling. 

    Unbelievable that this is what women go through at the most disastrous point of their lives, unbelievable that at their most vulnerable and insecure of moments in reciprocation of their cries for help, all they get is judgement, hostility and unbelievably limitless apathy. 

    Unbelievable that this project of long from storytelling exists in the way it needed to be in order to provide the most remarkable of ripostes…

    On French Cinema & Cédric Klapisch’s ‘Paris’


    As Hemingway once wrote; “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” This veritable moveable feast of a city’s most influential export since it inspired the literature of, Honoré de Balzac, Charles Baudelaire, Emile Zola, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, James…

  • The Color Wheel

    The Color Wheel 2011

    ★★★★ Watched 13 May 2024

    Incredibly rough around the edges and through the centre, sometimes amateurishly so, horrifyingly depressing in its nagging verisimilitude of lost youth courtesy of highly improvised yet incredibly grounded performances of its two leads , but the palindromic denouement elevates and announces the dichotomously complex and deeply layered narrative perspectives of Alex Ross Perry.

  • Orderly or Disorderly

    Orderly or Disorderly 1981

    ★★★★★ Watched 29 Apr 2024

    “For disorderly, it’s perfect!”

    Encapsulates in multiple snapshots of all that’s wrong in the world today. 

    All of these lesser seen Kanoon shorts, by maestro Kiarostami (restored astonishingly well), succinctly posits through the people who are now part of one of the most lawless portions of the world, how much hope there is to be found in civility, patience, and empathy.

  • Perfect Days

    Perfect Days 2023

    ★★★★★ Watched 11 Mar 2024

    “Next time is next time, today is today.”

    I’ve never seen a broken heart accepted by its owner with such deliberate grace and honour. 

    His routines and ability to let the light into his heart, smiling to heal as much as possible, and slowing down and being diligent for his plants in lieu of smelling roses.

    All of which made me want to slow down so much by being deliberate in my choices through the day today, that I first…

  • Barbarian

    Barbarian 2022

    ★★★★★ Watched 21 Apr 2024

    “Why is it always the girls who get their hearts ripped out in these things?”

    And that’s just the beginning of the layers. 

    A masterpiece of a debut that should double up as a film school for aspirants. 

    P.S:- Stephen King fonts.
