Liked Dekalog
I like films that are incredibly simple plot-wise but thematically complicated. Dekalog has those qualities, and the series also has a spirituality that runs through it.

Loved L’humanité
I was first inspired to watch L’humanité after seeing a clip of it in Mark Cousins’s The Story of Film. Once I saw the movie, I was absolutely haunted by it.

Loved The Last Picture Show
I watched The Last Picture Show and thought, oh, this is really sad but also really comforting. It’s such a mature and brilliant film that says so much about the human condition and the inherent sadness of the passing of time.

Loved The Thin Red Line
There have been a couple times in my life when I was watching a film and suddenly felt like I was floating out of my seat. Seeing The Thin Red Line was one of them.

Loved Persona
Persona was the first Bergman film I saw. It blew my mind then, and I keep going back to it.

Loved Mirror
Mirror is a perfect example of what Bresson meant when he said it’s more important to feel a film than to understand it.

Loved L'Argent
L’argent is Bresson’s greatest film and his last film—that isn’t the case for most directors.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
