“Robin’s Wish”: He Was a Warrior Battling Darkness, and Only to be Known after His Passing

Performance is a specialized skill, yet some performers elevate it to the level of art—sometimes, even they may not fully understand how they achieve it, as it often stems from mysterious chemical reactions in the brain. Take Robin Williams, for instance. We may never fully grasp how he brought such vitality to the Genie in “Aladdin”, nor can we fully comprehend why he chose to leave this world a decade ago. On July 21, 2024, we will celebrate what would have been Robin‘ s 73rd birthday. We shou

Celine Dion Documentary Reveals the Heartache and Courage Behind the Superstar

I always thought I had no particular feelings toward Celine Dion until I watched this documentary. Honestly, at first, I was quite dismissive, thinking it was just another self-praising celebrity film. But as I watched, I was moved by her authenticity and resilience. Celine Dion's voice has accompanied many of us growing up. The theme song of "Titanic," "My Heart Will Go On," is probably something everyone has heard. I remember when I was a kid, my mom used to play her songs a lot. I didn't unde

The Emergence of the Female Villain

I love this show! Some argue that it doesn’t play the feminist card like The Good Wife, which focuses on the professional and marital challenges modern women face. However, Veep offers something rare: a bona fide female villain on screen. Throughout art history, female characters are often depicted as either pure, saintly figures who nobly protect the male hero, or as seductive femmes fatales serving as objects of male desire. Consider Snow White: Snow White herself is the saintly figure, while

From "Delphine and Carole": A Glimpse into the French Feminist Movement of the 1970s

Since the latter half of the 19th century, French women have been continuously engaging in organized struggles. In the 1960s and 70s, the women's liberation movement swept through the West, and this movement began in France in 1970. People often call this movement the new feminism. "Delphine and Carole" takes the meeting between actress Delphine Seyrig and video artist Carole Roussopoulos as a lead, reproducing this decade-long new feminist movement for the audience. This article will discuss th

"Pictures of the Old World": The Impact of Time

"Pictures of the Old World" is a seminal work by Czech director Dušan Hanák. This documentary captures the raw authenticity of life in the Slovak countryside, portraying the conditions of its inhabitants with sympathy, respect, and a deep sense of reflection. Hanák delves into profound themes such as life, time, and death, offering a perspective enriched by anthropology and driven by a sensitive eye and restless soul. The film persistently seeks the simplicity long lost in our industrialized soc

"Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus": Till the Last Moment

My understanding of Ryuichi Sakamoto has been mainly through his connections with films, as a composer or even a movie actor. I'm aware of his greater achievements in music as an artist, but my knowledge about that part of his life is not extensive. However, "Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus" wasn't exactly what I expected. It's extreme. To put it more neutrally, it's pure. It's a documentary but also a work of art, never leaving that room, never leaving that piano. He has passed away, but unlike "Happy

Perhaps We Are the Illusions in the Mirror

Imagine a hoarding god: from the moment we are born, he slices off every fleeting instant, every tiny fraction of a second, turning them into thin slices, specimens, an infinitely long string of pearls. Decades later, when we look back to our beginnings, we see countless slices stretching across two points in time—countless "me" s, countless faces staring back at each other. It's like the infinite reflections formed by two facing mirrors, a phenomenon known as "Mise-en-abyme," as termed by Gide,

The Eyes of Agnès Varda

Some may have reservations about François Truffaut; others might have issues with Claude Chabrol or Jacques Rivette, and many outright dislike Jean-Luc Godard. However, finding anyone who doesn't love Agnès Varda is hard. When she passed away on March 29, 2019, flowers adorned the front of her house. Would she have wanted us to shed tears over her death? Would her age sadden her? I don't think so. Death might be another adventure for this "girl" who was still creating and discovering at the age

The Janes: Uncovering the Secret Women Organization of the 1960s

The documentary "The Janes" released in January 2022 tells the story of a dozen women who formed an organization called "Jane" to protect other women from the dangers of illegal abortion. They all used the name "Jane" to contact women who needed the procedure. In harsh circumstances, members of "Jane" helped 11,000 women have safer abortions, whether they were paid or not, because they believed it was the right thing to do. Beginning During the 1960s in Chicago, the civil rights movement and ant

The Gleaners and I: Art of Collage

In "The Gleaners and I," Agnès Varda once remarked, "Honesty, it's not a technique of cinema." However, honesty surpasses any artistic approach. Pursuing authenticity and sincerity is Varda's consistent attitude. Just as she playfully and endearingly filmed heart-shaped potatoes and sheep blocking the road, the spirit of optimism and authenticity embodies the essence of the New Wave. Everything feels so fresh, reflecting Varda's spirit. She often tells us - in her playful tone - to look at these

The Fire Within vs. Fire of Love: Cinema is a Form of Phenomenology

'Citizenfour': Beyond the Oscar’s Best Documentary

In 2013, the Oscars awarded Best Picture to the engaging and politically convenient "Argo" rather than the more realistic and somber "Zero Dark Thirty." The presenter that evening was the admired First Lady Michelle Obama. Little did anyone expect that in 2015, the recipient of the Best Documentary Feature would be "Citizenfour," documenting a whistleblower case that tarnished the reputation of the Obama administration—not due to poorly guarded secrets, but unfulfilled promises and unrealized ch

Theatres Have Been Closed for 30 Years in This Country

In 1989, Colonel Bashir seized power during Sudan's civil war through a coup, effectively assuming the presidency for a three-decade period. Throughout his tenure, Bashir dutifully carried out directives from conservative religious leaders, enforcing a range of strict social prohibitions. Under his rule, the consumption of alcohol, access to music, and viewing of movies were all banned. The movie opens with only sound, no visuals. It is a dialogue between a man and the customer service of an ele
