Let's talk about the most OSCAR BAIT film of the next Oscars

From 2009, or rather, from March 2010 in the Oscars context, the nominations started to follow an interesting pattern, especially in the awaited category Best Picture. In parallel to this revelatory fact to some, the United States was experiencing a crucial moment in its socio-political history: Barack Obama was becoming its first African American president. Actually, two patterns started to develop that, to this day, are still repeated and are the main reason behind the analysis I'm about to do

Breaking Down Queer

Luca Guadagnino 's Queer (2024) is a cinematic cocktail that mixes existential angst with a splash of homoerotic desire, garnished with a twist of 1950s nostalgia. Adapted from William S. Burroughs' semi-autobiographical novella, the film invites viewers into the hazy world of Bill Lee, a heroin-addicted expatriate navigating the labyrinthine streets of postwar Mexico City. Daniel Craig sheds his 007 tuxedo to embody Lee, delivering a performance that's as raw as a freshly mixed martini—shaken,

Argentina’s Best Ride of 2024 – And You Need to See It!

As the year comes to a close, I’m picking my favorite Argentine film of the year. Los Delincuentes (2023) is not your average crime film—far from it. This three-hour slow-burner from Argentina is a strange but captivating ride that feels like a mix of existential musing and wild, unpredictable adventure. If you’re in the mood for a film that balances humor, heart, and a sense of freedom, Los Delincuentes (The Delinquents) should be at the top of your watchlist. As we approach the end of 2024, it

Indigestion on the Menu: Emilia Pérez’s Luxury Buffet

In Emilia Pérez (2024), Jacques Audiard serves up a cinematic feast, a lavish buffet brimming with a dizzying array of elements: crime, soap opera drama, lesbian romance, musical numbers, and a dash of fairy-tale charm. But much like the overstuffed plates of a luxury buffet, this movie is prone to causing indigestion. While the ingredients might seem appealing, the resulting dish fails to sit easily with the viewer, leaving you both full and unsatisfied. Audiard, a director known for his genre-

Indigestion on the Menu: Emilia Pérez’s Luxury Buffet

Guadagnino is one in a million, and QUEER is a reflection of that

"The difficulty is to convince someone else he is really part of you." William Lee, Queer's eccentric broken protagonist played by a magnificent Daniel Craig like I've never seen before, utters these words crestfallen and with a frozen sadness in his eyes. The passage of time, the wounds and the pain of failing to complete himself can be noticed in his demeanor and fake positive attitude. The fact is that this man who craves young meat—in the most poetic sense of the word if there's any—feels li

CONCLAVE: The death of Church

"Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deathly enemy of tolerance." One must be really careful when choosing the words to be used in a script. I don't have the certainty over what God the director of this peculiar movie prays to—if he even prays to any—but seconds after finishing the film, I understood that this isn't what's truly important. The feelings one can have about a movie before even watching it are really weird, but what's even weirder is how we submit to a subversion

Terrifying Films Based On Realism and Possibilities... Are the Real Scariest Things to Watch

The world of horror. Terrifying movies that rule the world and sparks nightmares where there should be peaceful dreams of Carrots that wants to high-five you. Jumps from when you're cat walks in minding its own business and causing it to spaz out and take off. Horror movies, mind you, are designed to get to you. Designed to be fearful in any instance where it used to be calm. When I think of scary stuff to watch, I don't think of one movie. What do I mean by that? Well, think of a movie you saw
