Paterson 2016
There is so much beauty in simplicity. This movie is the epitome of poetry, so poetic in its views, so simple in its execution, so vast in its dreamlike beauty. A love poem to poetry itself. Light-hearted at its core.
The light-heartedness comes from the nature of the interactions of the characters, never leading with malice or hate; situations where you'd normally feel threat end up with a respectful and pleasant conversation. This really stuck out for me. Paying attention…

Blade Runner 2049 2017
I can't tell you how

This is a naturalistic, realistic, gut-wrenching movie about a man, a musician losing his hearing. Learning how to cope with it, during his deepest pits…

Solaris 1972
Bravo. Truly another masterpiece from Tarkovsky.
What really is science fiction? If not another way to dive deep into the human psyche, provide a bedrock for philosophical wanderings, an easy way to introduce what-ifs and how they affect our basic humanity through our interpersonal relationships. This is science fiction as it was first imagined - a metaphysical and philosophical medium. That is what the original Solaris novel by Stanislaw Lem strived for. This is what Tarkovsky managed to achieve as…
