"This is what all us filmmakers need to remember - that to make just one film like this enough." - One of my favourite pastimes is watching these Criterion closet picks videos and Lucrecia Martel dialled up the hype like anything when she made the above statements on Carnival of Souls.

Like Someone in Love 2012
I've been watching many "nothing happens, but everything happens" kinda films over the past one and a half year and Like Someone in Love might just be the epitome of the aforementioned phrase for me personally in a sense that I still can't process the level of complexity this film treated me to with its utter simplicity and after my experience with 6 Kiarostamis last year, especially with the recent of them being Certified Copy in October, I'd go as…

Da 5 Bloods 2020
"5 Bloods don't die, we (just) multiply."
A goldmine of a film digging deep into the war that's never going to end in human minds inside as a result of the war that ended outside years ago and ultimately mined true brotherhood while also taking a dig at the ever-pertinent racism through action-packed filmmaking in the exact Hollywood sense of the word Blockbuster.
The tributes to Coppola's Apocalypse Now keep pouring in right from the name of the bar where…
