Comments
8½
Perfection and grace. A narcissistic film, as cinema can be.
Mulholland Dr.
Cinema and its esoteric meanderings, indispensable actresses and absolute heroines.
Come and See
Hell, described and shown with a frightening and flamboyant objectivity.
Le ROI ET L'OISEAU
Poetry and surrealism in cinema.
Barry Lyndon
Kubrick, or the infallible perfection. At the same time, the sensitive fragility of the device.
The Night of the Hunter
An orphan film, a unique film, the tale of tales.
Onibaba
Eroticism and death at its strongest.
Céline and Julie Go Boating
The mechanics of the dream and the board game, revealed as illusory theatre.
La Luna
A film that plays with taboos, the notion of incestuous love between live performance and cinema.
Rumble Fish
Teenage romanticism and cinematic expressionism, walking hand in hand.
