    A new beginning, a “new start” is what the Yi family is looking for as they move on from the West Coast to a rural city in Arkansas to pursue the American Dream. Jacob (Steven Yeun) has bought for his wife Monica (Han Ye-ri) and his two children David and Anne (newcomers Alan Kim and Noel Kate Cho) a mobile home and fifty acres of land with the intention of starting a farming activity. But things do not go as…

    I'm Thinking of Ending Things

    ★★★★½

    Si potrebbe discutere tranquillamente per ore del nuovo film di Charlie Kaufman, cercando di analizzare i vari simbolismi, aggiunti e non, rispetto al libro di Ian Reid. Ma l’aspetto che mi colpisce di più ad ogni visione è la performance di Jessie Buckley. Chiunque mi conosca o abbia parlato di cinema con me, saprà quanto stravedo per la giovane attrice irlandese, la cui brillante carriera è soltanto all’inizio ma conta già notevoli performance sotto il suo nome. La versatilità che…

    BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths

    ★★½

    Bardo, or the unexpected virtue of doing a pretentious, boring and “unnecessary oniric” movie.

    ★★★★

    “He sat in a wheeled chair, waiting for dark,
    And shivered in his ghastly suit of grey,
    Legless, sewn short at elbow. Through the park 
    Voices of boys rang saddening like a hymn, 
    Voices of play and pleasure after day, 
    Till gathering sleep had mothered them from him. 
                               
    About this time Town used to swing so gay 
    When glow-lamps budded in the light-blue trees, 
    And girls…

    No. 7 Cherry Lane

    ★★★★★

    ***not really a 5/5 but more a 3.5/5; this movie though deserves some love, it’s so freaking weird and there are so many cats, and they fly and even lick nipples!***

    No. 7 Cherry Lane is one of the weirdest movie i’ve seen; Yonfan’s slow pace may turn someone off, who am i kidding? This is sooooo slow and the characters keep moving in slow-motion. 
    But hell yeah i was very entertained by it; there are so many pointless characters…

    Portrait of a Lady on Fire

    ★★★★½

    Cannes 2019 #11
    Portrait de la jeune fille en feu tells the story of a young painter, Marianne (Noémie Merlant), who is commissioned to portrait a young lady from a wealthy family, Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), to be used as a marriage proposal to a wealthy man from Milan.
    Héloïse has already refused to sit before for portraits, so Marianne has to spy her and act as a lady’s maid.

    The first half of the movie is very slow (not boring!)…
