Akira Film Posters

Ōtomo Katsuhiro’s AKIRA (アニメ映画)

Haven’t seen Akira for years, and once again it savagely reminded me of what a monster of a movie it really is.

Oppenheimer

The Film Formats of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer

Let’s talk about how to get the best possible cinematic experience out of this movie.

Barbie

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie

Postmodernism is alive and well.

L’immensità

Emanuele Crialese’s L’immensità

Watchable. But neither expect a true period drama nor a fresh look at old problems.

Asteroid City

Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City

“You can’t wake up when you don’t fall asleep.”

Last Sentinel

Tanel Toom’s Last Sentinel

Great setting with pen-&-paper role-playing game vibes.

Wait—June 8, 2012? It must be a cruel joke!

The Road by John Hillcoat

This is a very atmospheric, visually powerful movie. Too bad it has no story whatsoever.
