Comments
Mirror
The great visual creativity makes dreams and reality present the inner emotions of human beings with an extraordinary poetry.
To VLEMMA TOU ODYSSEA
A magnificent image that created an era.
Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance
Filmed and edited with complex special effects to create the magical essence of the industrial age.
I Am Cuba
The bold and vivid visual language perfectly interprets the author's feelings.
Tokyo Story
Rustic low-camera angle cinematography expresses a quiet and warm atmosphere.
Stroszek
Simple and humorous.
Down by Law
Witty dark humor
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence
The perfect still-photo static shots; every frame is a classic.
Behemoth
The film skilfully uses classical texts, and expresses the author's inner world with the abstraction and implicit aesthetics of contemporary arts.
Faya Dayi
Memory-like images: dreamlike, refined and elegant.
