If I had to describe how Marisa Kavtaradze’s “Slow” is set up, most of you would probably guess what is more or less to come next. However, one of the many nice things about the film, which was Lithuania’s submission for the international feature film category in the Oscar this year, is that it tries […]
Bodyguard for Sweetheart: There are certain films that, love them or hate them, become critical cultural holes in one’s gradual appreciation of films and such — those films that you always somehow overlooked or skipped intentionally, or simply because you had not been of the appropriate age when they came out. For me, it was
A 2008 batch of students in Marakkuma Nenjam return to their school ten years later and spend three months together to reappear for their final examinations again.

In this movie, there are few Indonesian actors such as Bulan Sutena, Catherine Wilson, Yama Carlos, and others.

In “Aisha,” Letitia Wright plays the young asylum seeker in Ireland seeking to defeat the bureaucratic system even if it means seeking assistance from the authorities that have caused her pain.

It may not be reasonable to claim that there are only two populations of cinephiles and no more, however, when we look at the several types that exist, there are those who have never managed to understand what is the essence of Hong Sang-soo’s ongoing movie project, and those who gaze hypnotically at a sequence
Recalling myself in my mids with Max (portrayed by Ruaridh Mollica). When I was about 20 years old, numerous young writers were coming to me, just like this one.
