film
I never knew samurai cooking was a thing, and this was a nice introduction. Every food and cooking frame was beautiful.
I've been keeping up with 'Theeb' news, the praise, the nomination, the screenings etc but managed to stay away from spoilers or knowing anything about the plot.
In the Middle East, the word 'Bedouin' is mostly used as a slang to belittle someone's 'simple' actions or personality, this film makes sure we understand Bedouins real way of living, brotherhood and loyalty.
More than anything, 'Theeb' is a film that restored my faith in MENA's cinema.
The lobster? more like the sobster. lmaoTEARSlmao. I don't think I've ever felt this kind of heavy softness & pain from any film before.
Can’t get over how human this film is. When I read the summary, I was worried the plot would feel a tad forced, but it all felt so natural. The awkwardness, giddiness and how personal reading a handwritten letter/note feels. We see both of them grow as human beings, with every note tucked under rotti or retrieved from an empty lunchbox.
Top all of these nice feelings, with beautiful cinematography.
Two brothers go on a silence strike to make their parents buy them a TV. Featuring an appearance of the most adorable child I’ve ever seen. That’s all you need to know.
The beauty of ‘Lamma Shoftak’ is in the tiniest details. The smiles, glances, hand gestures & facial expressions. It’s far away from all the action that some of the fighters are in, and more close to their personalities. Their hobbies, what they eat, how they interact with each other etc. It was absolutely beautiful and personal in all the right ways. ِ
I still don’t know how I feel about this, but all I can think about is ‘who do I contact to get my hands on their recreated foreign/indie/cult films collection.’
I definitely thought this was going to be something along the lines of ‘The Fault in Our Stars’, and it sorta was, but not really? I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, and liked how the plot moved relatively quicker than most plots.
Well, this was messed up.
A film about a mother's continuous sacrifice.
By one of my favorite directors and is effortlessly added to my excellent vampire films list.
Madness. Bloody madness.
"The most wtf, nsfw movie"
An interesting take on reincarnation that takes both science and religion/spirituality into consideration.
Heartwarming & cozy.
Excellent collection of short animations based on stories by Edgar Alan Poe.
The only review I can come up with for this brilliant film is: “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
Brazil always pleasantly surprises me. This film was incredible. I usually dislike films where kids are heroes because they come off as slightly unrealistic/childish, but this was excellent.
Amusingly, after watching this, the poster actually made sense. I didn’t really know anything about this and I’m glad I didn’t. This film is about unusual fetishes & sex fantasies, but at the same time, it’s about opening up to that significant other about it.
They’re all displayed as different mini-stories but the one I screen captured below is my personal favorite. It’s about a man who is deaf & mute, but wants to experience phone sex. Don’t want to give too much away, but it was a good film.
