Time Travel Through Cinema: Chris Marker's Utopian Reveries

The most unforgettable and enigmatic aspects of cinema often lie not in its clear-cut genres, but in the fragile line, it treads—between fiction and reality, the subjective and objective, narrative and history. Chris Marker's work, spanning over half a century with nearly a hundred films, epitomizes these undefinable boundaries. As perhaps the most understated yet enigmatic figure of the French New Wave, born Christian François Bouche-Villeneuve, Marker's films continue to defy categorization. E

Time Travel Through Cinema: Chris Marker's Utopian Reveries

"All We Imagine as Light" Shines with Human Touch

"All We Imagine as Light"(2024) has been selected for the main competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival. In Mumbai, nurse Prabha receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband, throwing her life into disarray.

In this mysterious space, their desires can finally be expressed. City Mumbai is nominally Indian and South

If Aki Kaurismäki Never Made Another Trilogy...

Imagine a peculiar concept: a theme park dedicated to Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki. What would it be like? This park would undoubtedly feature vast stretches of blue-green painted walls, slightly worn yet immensely charming. Modestly dressed, expressionless staff would stand in front of simply decorated bars, quietly listening to the live music that could start playing at any moment. The park wouldn't need to be bustling; it could be desolate. But as you walk through the sparse settings and m

"Roma": Alfonso Cuarón's Personal Masterpiece

Today, renowned director Alfonso Cuarón, one of the "Three Amigos" of Mexican cinema who dominate Hollywood, was once an ordinary boy growing up in the Roma neighborhood of Mexico. As a child, he didn't enjoy playing with others; instead, movies were his greatest love. He also dreamed of becoming an astronaut, boarding a spaceship to the edge of space. His dream of making movies didn't come easily, but in 2014, he finally won the Oscar for Best Director with his space-themed film "Gravity," stan

"Wet Season": A Healing Journey from the Mother Tongue

Singapore has entered the rainy season. The daily afternoon downpours arrive on schedule. In A-Ling's car, the radio broadcasts the weather forecast in Mandarin, along with news about the political turmoil in Malaysia. This is the opening scene of Anthony Chen's second feature film, "Wet Season." The film was shot and produced in 2018 and 2019, during the period when the massive corruption scandal involving Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was unfolding. A-Ling comes from Taiping, a small to

"A Sun” Shines, Dark Yet Blinding

"A Sun" evokes a peculiar feeling. It pulls with equal force in two opposite directions, one tranquil and the other explosive. This strange tension creates the unique atmosphere of the story. It is a tale of family drama filled with extraordinary theatrical elements. It maintains a steady, mundane, and narrative tone, yet it consistently instills a sense of unease. It makes one worry that a huge crack might suddenly appear on the seemingly smooth path, leading to utter destruction. The story has

The Journey of Korean Immigrants in Cinema

A Century of Immigration: Betting on the American Dream In 2021, Youn Yuh-jung made history as the first South Korean actress to win an Oscar for her role as the grandmother in "Minari (2020)." Steven Yeun, playing the first-generation immigrant, became the first Korean-American actor nominated for Best Actor. "Minari" tells the story of a blue-collar Korean family immigrating to the United States in the 1990s, a narrative deeply rooted in over a century of Korean immigration history. In the 19t

"Evil Does Not Exist": When Cornered Beasts Face Hostile Narcissism

If Ryûsuke Hamaguchi's "Drive My Car" (2021) and "Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy" (2021) are stories about communication, then "Evil Does Not Exist" (2023) explores something beyond communication: its failure and the presence of "hostile narcissism." By the film's first third, we learn that the townspeople are negotiating with a corporate group about the development of a campsite and issues like sewage disposal. The word "balance" becomes the central theme as characters strive for equilibrium—the

"Roma": Cherished Memories as His Guiding Spirit

"I'm not going to tell the story the way it happened. I'm going to tell it the way I remember it." Over two decades ago, the protagonist Finn's narration in the opening of "Great Expectations" (1998) left an indelible mark on me. This was my first encounter with the work of Alfonso Cuarón, the director of "Roma (2018)," a romantic film that seeps into your bones. Years later, the final 30 minutes of "Gravity" (2013) became something I revisited repeatedly, a masterclass in music, rhythm, cinemat

"Boyhood": The Cinematic Magic of Time

Richard Linklater, the director of "Before Sunrise" (1995), is arguably one of the contemporary filmmakers who best understands how to use 'time' as a narrative tool. His "Before" trilogy, spanning "Before Sunrise," "Before Sunset" (2004), and "Before Midnight" (2013), presents the nuanced dance of love between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Time, the greatest enemy of love, is woven into these films, capturing the ecstasy and loneliness of romance over twenty years. Richard Linklater, known for h

'Winter Sleep': The Road to Hell Paved with Good Intentions

With three hours and sixteen minutes runtime, Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's 2014 Palme d'Or winner "Winter Sleep" might serve as a delightful winter nap for those lacking patience in a chilly theater. However, for those willing to slow down and immerse themselves in this snowy world, the piercing dialogues that expose human hypocrisy offer a clear and enlightening awakening. This film is a departure from Ceylan's previous works, known for their slow pace and landscape-focused storytelling

Ming-liang Tsai: Setting Out On Endless Journeys in Search of the Elixir

After "Stray Dogs" won the Grand Jury Prize at the 70th Venice Film Festival, Ming-liang Tsai said, "Twenty years have passed since 'Vive L'Amour' won the Golden Lion. Thank you for tolerating my increasingly slow camera." Slowness is indeed the most external characteristic of Ming-liang Tsai's films. Some people like it because he explores new narrative grounds between the body and environment, action and broken landscapes, and his images exhibit an improvisational quality. Others don't because

Lav Diaz: The Most Beautiful Slow Films

As the most crucial figure in Philippine cinema, Lav Diaz combines grand historical memories with profoundly personal and brutal individual portraits in his films. He poetically and philosophically interrogates pressing political, justice, and violence issues, speaking sincerely and persistently for the victims and marginalized people of the Philippines in his extensive black-and-white films. Since he began his career, Lav Diaz, an independent and avant-garde director from the Philippines, has g

"The Given Word": A Man Betrayed by His Faith

Today, we delve into the 1962 Brazilian film "The Given Word" ("O Pagador de Promessas"), directed by Anselmo Duarte, which won the Palme d'Or at the 15th Cannes Film Festival. The film's protagonist is a farmer named Zé, who, in fulfillment of a vow, carries a large cross from his village to the state capital with his wife. However, when he arrives at the church in the capital, the clergy refuse to accept his cross, deeming his beliefs heretical. Zé is thus stranded on the church steps, and the
