  Past Lives 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Oct 2023 4

  A sweet and tender debut, that deals with romantic relationships and those-that-could-have-been-but-didn't with warmth and maturity. A bit too quiet for me to get really moved by it and I wish there was a bit more characterization for our two leads, but it's definitely one of the better films of the year so far. Nice cinematography as well.

  Decision to Leave 2022

  ★★★ Watched 03 Jul 2022 4

  The one film I wanted to see and couldn't at Cannes and it's sadly a little disappointing given Park Chan Wook' resume imo.
  Like bits and pieces here and there about the central relationship and there's some great editing choices, the way characters are visually present in a scene when "they're actually not but it feels like they are" for ex, even though it can also be a little confusing at times.
  But it never really goes past its classic…
