Juliet of the Spirits (1965) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): Her spiritual journey of self-discovery
Federico Fellini’s “Juliet of the Spirits” baffles me a lot in good ways. When I watched the film for the first in 2005, I felt like not totally understanding how it is about or what it is about, and that … Continue reading
I vitelloni (1953) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A group of village slackers

Hopeless (2023) ☆☆(2/4): Hopelessly grim and tepid
South Korean film “Hopeless” is a grim crime noir drama which tediously pushes the story and characters into more violence and misery without much substance or interest. Besides being unlikable or pathetic, most of the main characters in the film … Continue reading
The Saint of Second Chances (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): An Owner’s Son
Mike Veeck is an interesting guy who also has had a pretty curious life and career, and Netflix documentary film “The Said of Second of Chances”, which was released a few weeks ago, could not possibly be less entertaining at … Continue reading
Love Reset (2023) ☆☆(2/4): Love after divorce – and amnesia
