A story of passion between Jean Cocteau, Pygmalion poet, novelist, designer, playwright and avant-garde film-maker and Jean Marais, a popular actor, "well-loved" chameleon and legend of French cinema. They shared a unique relationship which, from 1937 to 1963, combined the art of loving with the inordinate love of arts.
Documented human suffering is never easy to view or read about and is understandably triggering for many people, but it can be educational, and education is a key to change. An overwhelming amount queer people worldwide (and in my own country) have it far worse than I could imagine, and documentaries such as Welcome to Chechnya bring issues to light that certain groups of people would never see.
Netflix’s recent "Enola Holmes 3" is a disappointing and confusing entry in the stellar "Enola Holmes" franchise.
That gut-wrenching feeling you have while watching it is okay but needed, and you, the viewer, will be okay.
A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, though its feminism may be unintentional, cannot exist without its focus on women reclaiming power. The movie is feminist by definition, even if Amirpour didn’t write it with that in mind. A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is mesmerizing, poetic, and stunning, both for its portrayal of feminist ideas and its powerful story that is both horrific and subtly romantic at once.
A man invents the internet with the help of an otherworldly force. But he soon learns that not all is what it seems. A delightful sequence of images for a delightful fictional story about what lies behind.
It’s the most loving tribute to cinema and to Ingmar Bergman, set in world that feels so habitable that I felt like only re-watching this for eternity, because of how inviting it looks and feels.
