The World Before Your Feet (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Walking more than 8,000 miles in NYC
When I spent several weeks of 2010 April in Chicago, some of the most memorable moments came from when I walked around here and there in the city. I remember the Swedish Bakery and several other interesting places I came … Continue reading

Apollo 11 (2019) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A vivid, riveting time capsule
Documentary film “Apollo 11” takes us right into that monumental space mission in 1969, and it did a pretty awesome job through its remarkable assembly of archival footage clips and recordings which do not look that old at all even … Continue reading
KIM-GUN (2018) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Searching for a man who was there
I could not help but saddened as watching South Korean documentary film “KIM-GUN”, which, in my trivial opinion, should be watched by any good South Korean citizen. Starting from a photograph of one anonymous figure who recently became the main … Continue reading
