Wait, Timothée Chalamet Thinks He’s Bob Dylan?

I went into A Complete Unknown with my expectations firmly planted in the dirt. Let’s be honest: biopics have never been my thing. They’re like the cinematic equivalent of skimming a Wikipedia entry—efficient, sure, but rarely the stuff of thrills. And Bob Dylan? Look, I’ll respect the guy’s legacy, but I wouldn’t call myself a fan. In fact, until I saw the movie’s press materials, I was blissfully unaware that he’s still alive. Then there’s Timothée Chalamet. Don’t get me wrong, I admire the gu

Ishika Banerjee: No biopic will ever truly cover the essence of who the person was because, in reality, we don't know everyone that well. But we can come close to it and commemorate their achievements this way at-least. Good article!

Is The Social Network still relevant?

It's impossible to discuss a biopic concerning the infamous neo-liberal idealist turned bad without examining the social and economic structure of the United States specifically Silicon Valley at the time. If the free market race deems you a winner, you're untouchable. in 1995, during the peak of the dot com bubble, Silicon Valley was the main catalyst for tech startups to find their new muse. The controversial movement, known as the Californian ideology, was founded on a growing belief in techn

New Year's reflections: What does the future of cinema hold?

Most of my articles are usually inspired by a pseudo-existential question regarding cinema I ask myself—unless I have seen a movie and want to express my feelings about it with an opinion. A few days ago, scrolling through Instagram, I came across a reel that showed how easy it is to create a film scene with AI in just a few minutes. Honestly, the images seemed to belong to some seventh art's mastermind, so I thought about how ironic it would sound to say: "how fast does technology develop and h

"Juror #2", and how to twist the court movies formula

Clint Eastwood, which surprisingly did not need a Ouija board to finish the direction of this film, delivered a movie that, even at his age, knows it has to be entertaining; proving that directors as Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola aged much faster than the actor who has been making movies since more than a decade earlier. Justin (Nicholas Hoult) is a recovered alcoholic, now married with Allison (Zoey Deutch) and anxious about her being on the last trimester of a high risk pregnancy; t

A Complete Unknown: I’ve seen it, and I don’t hate it (and Timmy Chalamet isn’t a bad Dylan)

I’m a big believer in Bob Dylan and an even bigger disbeliever in biopics. So when I heard about the inevitable release of a Dylan biopic helmed by Hollywood journeyman James Mangold, my reaction was anxiety, puzzlement, and rejection—because a genius like Dylan can’t possibly fit into the constraints of a traditional biopic. We already have an excellent non-traditional Dylan biopic: Todd Haynes’ 2006 film I’m Not There. This film uses kaleidoscopic visuals and six different actors portraying Dy

The infamous power of spectacle, Triumph of the Will, 1935

At one point in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) the sinister Grima Wormtongue - who conspired with the forces of darkness to hold the kingdom of Rohan subservient to the wishes of the dark lord Sauron - meets with the wizard Saruman, and comments to him that the humans have become aware of the conspiracy and anticipate that they will soon be attacked. “They are skilled warriors and they are numerous” he says... and then Saruman takes him to the highest balcony of his tower in Isenga
