Martin Scorsese & the MCU

Martin Scorsese has given his all to cinema. Cinema that he defines as "about aesthetic, emotional and spiritual revelation".

Arthouse Cinema & ‘You Were Never Really Here’

I have often thought about what makes a film an arthouse flick and what doesn’t. Haven’t found an answer to that yet, but I feel like I’ve scratched the surface of a possible solution with Lynne Ramsay’s, ‘You Were Never Really Here’.

Florence + The Machine – Sky Full of Song

This song was my first introduction to Florence + The Machine. What got me interested at first is the voice, which I think belongs to Florence Welch. It delved into lines that amused me and kept making me go back to the song.

The Post

A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents pushed the country's first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between journalist and government.

A Little Something on Ruben Östlund

I saw two of Ruben Östlund’s films, namely, ‘The Square’ and ‘Turist’ in the course of the last month and his work quickly put me in awe of him.

The Squid and the Whale

Written & Directed by Baumbach, 'The Squid and the Whale' is a lovely film. Shot on Super 16mm using mostly handheld cameras it's a visual treat for film lovers. Moreover, the progressive and folk rock-ish soundtrack establishes a robust substructure that assists the storytelling.

The Shining

Stephen King did not like this adaptation of his book and I don't blame him. The writers Stanley Kubrick and Diane Johnson had developed a draft that dumped a number of King's plot elements from the book. The reason I call it a draft is because the script was edited almost every single day, hence taking it further away from the original.
