Though it premiered in 2022, David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future feels eerily more relevant today. As we continue to face worsening environmental crises, groundbreaking advancements in biotechnology, and intensifying cultural divisions, this dystopian masterpiece serves as both a cautionary tale and a dark meditation on humanity’s future. In Cronenberg’s imagined world, the human species has evolved—or devolved—past its natural boundaries. Physical pain is a thing of the past, and with it, h

The Iranian film The Seed of the Sacred Fig became one of the standout hits at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Initially added to the competition lineup as a latecomer, it faced a challenging screening schedule, slotted on the festival’s penultimate day when juries and media were already weary. Despite these unfavorable conditions, Sacred Fig managed to spark the festival's final crescendo: a 15-minute standing ovation following its credits, a gesture of respect for exiled director Mohammad Ra

Synopsis: Louise Sawyer (Susan Sarandon) is a waitress in her forties and Thelma (Geena Davis) is a young housewife. Tired of the monotonous life they lead, the friends decide to leave everything behind and hit the road. During the trip, they get involved in a crime and decide to flee to Mexico, but end up being chased by the American police. I was still a child when I saw Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis for the first time, together, in that beautiful and huge thunderbird. Both helped me build an

There is an unrequited love in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction that surpasses even the romantic of dramas. Surprisingly, the relationship does not involve Uma Thurman’s character Mia Wallace. It is the closeness that the characters Jules and Vincent that demonstrates a sensitivity and compassion that is completely out of place for a film within this genre. This is Tarantino’s genius; effectively inserting thoroughly unorthodox characteristics in order to revitalize a genre that was slipping int

Friday. 2 AM on the sixth day of the initial week of 2024's last month. After spending a whole year thoroughly analyzing the "most-watched" works across different platforms according to their "algorithm data", I decided to review what the famous tendencies were through one last glimpse out of mere curiosity. I started this article with an intro comparable to a private diary entry because I simply want to gift it to myself as a reminder of what decisions not to make, even though it sounds kind of

HBO’s latest series, Dune: Prophecy (Season 1), has officially landed, yet it feels like the quiet thud of a sandworm moving underground—large in scope but barely noticed. As the entertainment world buzzes about Gladiator II, Wicked, and Moana 2, the latest expansion of the Dune universe seems to have slipped through the cracks. The cultural moment, it seems, belongs to colorful musicals, Roman epics, and animated nostalgia—not the windswept deserts of Arrakis or the whispers of Bene Gesserit co

I deeply appreciate a dynamic and interpersonal portrayal of an anti-hero because it's a challenging yet fascinating approach to creating a main character that audiences can empathize with and even relate to, despite their morally complex actions. Take, for example, Walter White in Breaking Bad. I could understand his initial desperation to provide for and protect his family, which is a relatable motivation for many viewers, myself included. However, as his pride and ego slowly led him down an i

Moana, and other main characters of Moana 2. Last weekend, my wife and I saw Moana 2 at the cinema. Though we don't have children yet, we're planning to, and throughout the movie, we found ourselves thinking, "How wonderful would it be to watch this with our future child!" The movie captivated us not only because of our parental dreams but because it was genuinely excellent. The stunning visuals and seamlessly integrated music enhanced the storyline beautifully. That same morning, I had watched

I don't know about you, but I’m always wary when a live-action remake of an animation I love is announced. Perhaps it's the pent-up experience from Disney's ups and downs in this area. The Lion King seemed more like a National Geographic documentary than an exciting movie, and The Little Mermaid... well, I liked it, but it wasn't the same. So, when I heard that How to Train Your Dragon was also getting a live-action version, my initial reaction was a deep sigh and a “here we go again”. But the m

The Substance might be the most thought-provoking film I've seen this year. Even a week after watching it, I'm still trying to make sense of all the complex emotions it stirred and figure out why it left me feeling so conflicted. I have been increasingly anticipating the film ever since The Substance premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival and received reviews calling it "shocking" and "breathtaking". As a fan of horror, body horror is something irresistible for me, so I really expected The S

Before entering the cinema, I knew little more about this film than its bizarre poster, which looked like something out of an ancient version of Adobe Photoshop, and the fact that it had been screened at the 2023 Mar del Plata Film Festival. It was also my first time watching a Romanian film, a country about which I realize I know less than I'd like to admit. I could never have anticipated what followed after the lights went down. Directed by Radu Jude, Do Not Expect Much from the End of the Wor

Wonka is a 2023 Warner Bros. movie directed by Paul King and starring Timothée Chalamet. King wrote the screenplay with Simon Farnaby, who also plays Basil in the movie. The original songs were created by Neil Hannon, while Joby Talbot provided the score. The movie had a budget of $125-million and made $634-million at the box office. It tells the origin story of Willy Wonka, the flamboyant chocolatier created by Roald Dahl and made infamous by Gene Wilder in the classic 1971 movie, Willy Wonka &

Burnt Money: Forbidden Love, Sacred Outlaws The History and Myths On 28 September 1965, in the Buenos Aires suburb of San Fernando, a truck transporting wages was attacked by a group of criminals, including Marcelo Brignone, known as "El Nene," and Héctor Jacinto Dorda, nicknamed "Ángel.” The chaotic gunfight rapidly escalated, transforming their covert operation into a desperate escape. Fleeing in haste, they sought refuge in an apartment in the Liberaij building in Montevideo, Uruguay. On Nove

The “outlaw couple” is far from a fresh topic in American cinema. Classic films like Gun Crazy directly inspired the New Hollywood milestone Bonnie and Clyde（1976）. Terrence Malick’s debut feature, Badlands (1973), pays homage to this lineage, Arthur Penn was actually the director’s neighbor. Badlands tells the story of a fugitive couple. Kit (Martin Sheen), a “garbage collector”, falls for Holly (Sissy Spacek), a girl strictly controlled by her father. After killing Holly’s father, Kit and Holl
