    Nobody Knows 2004

    Watched 12 Sep 2024

    children so accustomed to silence and acceptance — one being told off when she plays with nail varnish. one getting shunned when he attempts to mess about with boys playing video games. another feeling deserted (yet again) by a new found friend. and the eldest, a 12 year old loaded with great emotional and physical responsibilty, finally finding bliss in playing a sport that was once just a dream, only to return to a position heavier than his (already) critical…

    Where Is the Friend's House? 1987

    ★★★★★ Watched 06 Aug 2023

    1/3 of the Koker Trilogy

    a boy although daunted by those of age, makes constant decisions to listen actively but selectively. never as a lack of respect, but an innocent desire to listen to his heart. resonating with him felt straightforward and convenient. 

    the struggle on the otherhand, was understanding its counterpart - the adults’ dismissal of children’s voices. kiarostami managed (subtly) to give a toe-dip into every character surrounding the youth. how adults demand to be heard and followed, an…

    Decalogue III 1989

    Watched 08 Dec 2024

    ah, when you've long invested in building the present, but the past taps you on the shoulder. you look back, hesitate, yet choose to follow - but how far can you step back before it swallows the path you've so carefully built?

    on a different note, given that the film was largely set in the quiet of night, the use of light was utter perfection. 10/10.

  • Vagabond

    Vagabond 1985

    Watched 03 Dec 2024

    from what we see, mona carries little with her. nothing more than a name, a bag, a tent, layers of worn clothing and vague responses when asked if her choices stem from pure desire or if they’ve been forced upon her. we hear much from brief encounters, although many of which with patchy intentions, yet we remain unknowing of her past, whys and wherefores.

    on the road in this weather?
    i didn’t choose the weather. 
    you chose the road. 

    despite…

    TÁR 2022

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 27 Feb 2023

    after all, “a soul selects her own society”. but remember, the flip side of that selection closes the valves of one’s attention

    watching-rewatching tár mimics the sensation of listening to an unfamiliar, new piece of music when we tend to (initially) focus on only one component at a time—may it be structure, rhythm, melody or lyric, all individually and equally overwhelming. then eventually towards your third, fourth, fifth listen, your mind begins to automatically bind every component that you’ve unconsciously…

    TÁR 2022

    Watched 16 Nov 2022

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

    as a person who isn’t particularly musically inclined, i was stepping in blindly. i was prepared to feel out of place, expecting to feel a bit dim. 

    now we can really understand what the meaning of music is, it’s the way it makes you feel when you hear it. we dont have to know a lot of stuff about sharps, flats, and cords and all that business in order to understand music.

    —and i did. the countless jargons and big…
