It Was Just an Accident (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A absurd revenge drama by Jafar Panahi
During last 10 years, I have admired the strenuously defiant artistic efforts of Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi. I must confess that I was not so familiar with his filmography when I heard about his ongoing political conflict with the Iranian … Continue reading
Miroirs No. 3 (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A minor fun from Christian Petzold

Linda Linda Linda (2005) ☆☆☆(3/4): Their little high school performance
2005 Japanese film “Linda Linda Linda”, which was re-released in South Korean theaters a few days ago, is a conventional but undeniably likable mix of drama, comedy, and music. Right from the beginning, we get a pretty good idea about … Continue reading
You Burn Me (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): On desire and life
Argentine filmmaker Matías Piñeiro’s latest film “You Burn Me” often baffled and confounded me for good reasons. Probably because I do not have much background knowledge on the main subjects of this experimental film, I simply observed the repeated images … Continue reading
The Roses (2025) ☆☆(2/4): A less vicious and funny remake
Jay Roach’s latest film “The Roses” is too mild and mellow for becoming truly mean and vicious enough to delve into the dark aspects of its story and characters. As unwisely trying to make the two main characters at the … Continue reading
Oddity (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A piece of oddity
