There’s something unbelievably powerful at play in Ordet. Something so grand, so overwhelming, so eternally beautiful that touches upon something so primal in every single person on earth, yet strangely still feel hard to describe. Ordet is about mankind's place in the universe, it’s about maintaining our sense of self, about finding that most primal sense of happiness, while simultaneously accepting that we all will encounter tremendous pain that will push us to the brink of destruction, and why we…

The Velvet Underground 2021
I’ll never forget the first time I listened to The Velvet Underground’s “Heroin”. John Cale’s viola completely rewired my brain and suddenly I was a completely different person. Previously, I had just listened to whatever was on the billboard charts or whatever was popular in school. How could something so dark, so noisy and so ugly, sound so incredibly beautiful? I became obsessed. Now, there was this powerful, uncontrollable curiosity powering my every move. Soon I started chasing new experiences…

Last Night in Soho 2021
Last Night in Soho looks and sounds like a million bucks, but like many other people have pointed out : the writing leaves a lot to be desired.

However what makes it truly something extraordinary is how is also manages to be a timely update on works like Benjamin Christensen’s Häxan and Carl Th Dreyer’s Day of Wrath. It moves the age-old story of the troublesome…

Get Out 2017
I’m the classic hipster contrarian douchebag, so when “Get Out” shook up cinemas around the world four years ago, I for some stupid reason said to myself “Oh everyone likes this? It’s probably not that good then!”. What a big, fat, dumb idiot I was.
The most purely entertaining film I’ve seen in quite a while. What an absolute joy and a much needed breath of fresh air into the mainstream film landscape. Told through a smart allegory for race…

Do the Right Thing 1989
Do The Right Thing feels so present on your screen. Usually when you watch classics like these, it feels like you’re looking at them through museum glass, but this film just has an unbelievable, undeniable energy that washes over you with tremendous force. It’s so ahead of its time through its superbly structured plot, pacing, genre and especially with the handling of its themes. If you compare it to a film like Philadelphia, another film that brought a much-needed discussion…
