Love Torn in a Dream 2000

★★★★½ Added 3

"I shouldn't have married a ghost."
Ruiz on Fire!
The Temptation of St. Tony 2009

★★★★½ Added 1

A masterpiece of surreal and grotesque poetry and it has echoes of filmmakers like Tarr, Bunuel, Tarkovsky, Roy Anderson and Lynch!
It is a dark and evocative exploration into faith, love, morality, and the emptiness of modern society.
Chinese Roulette 1976

★★★★ Added 1

"Have you ever been in Hell?"

A beautifully crafted tale on the lives of humans battling for the truth but ironically, just as they want to see it.
Fassbinder makes the maximum out of the beautiful score and soundtrack (Kraftwerk Scene... wow!), an incredible example of cinematography (random zooms and spins? I loved them all) and strong performances (Margit Carstensen is a legend).
Let the Corpses Tan 2017

★★★★ Added

-Don't you like gunshots before breakfast?
What an amazing painting with bullets, blood and piss!
Groundbreaking cinematography, editing, sound and music in a modern mix of spaghetti western and giallo.
Uncut Gems 2019

★★★★ Watched 27 Dec 2019

"That's all the gem. That's all the gem."
One of the most stressful and thrilling rides loaded with huge vibes escalating in every second. Masterful cinematography by Darius Khondji also accompanied with great music score, fine tuned into the script that injects more and more stress and anxiety precisley.
And above all, stunning performance by lovely Adam Sandler, one of his best along with Punch-drunk love.
He'd better start writing his first Oscar speech text now!
I'm Thinking of Ending Things 2020

I'm Thinking of Watching This Again (for the Third time!).
The Painted Bird 2019

★★½ Added

Hard to resist watching, hard to watch and hard to forget!
The Painted Bird reaches the darkest depth a film can get, absolutely merciless with no speck of light. Every shot is drop dead beautiful and in technical terms it is a great well-executed movie. But the problem arises only when you take all the frames and string them together to form the movie. The result is a pathetic, shocking, brutal and bleak film. Brutality is at a very high…
The Irishman 2019

★★★ Added

I heard you make movies, Mr. Scorsese!
What We Do in the Shadows 2014

★½ Added 1

One of the most overrated movies of the 2010's decade.
The joke is they're vampires, but they act like normal people! this would’ve been much better as a short film.
The Lighthouse 2019

★★ Added

Great performances by Pattinson and Dafoe in a pretentious and frivolous movie!
Richard Jewell 2019

★★★★ Added

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Maybe the film vilifies Kathy Scruggs(the journalist) by accusing her of doing transactional sex in exchange for stories?!
Heaven Knows What 2014

★★★½ Added

"Do you want a fucking key in your eye?"
