Loved Army of Shadows
Army of Shadows is a film I can always watch again. I love it because it makes me wonder where its sourness and sadness come from.

Loved Pina
I knew Bausch’s work to some extent before seeing Pina, but the film opens a very special window onto her work. You can look at her life through many different perspectives, but I love this view of her.

Loved Blow-Up
Blow-Up makes me think about the meaning of a person’s relationship to reality and the extent to which someone can deny reality in order to avoid having to criticize themselves. Antonioni achieves this in a remarkable way.

Liked The Runner
In The Runner, he creates a city that does not actually exist, but it looks like it does; you don’t know where it is, but you understand it. This film also showed me that it’s the attempt that is important, not the final goal.

After watching No Country for Old Men, I found myself reflecting for a long time on what the film is about, and for me it’s the idea of being born again.

Loved Benny’s Video
What’s so interesting about Benny’s Video is how he tells a very simple story about ethics and the importance of learning using a very limited set of tools. I particularly loved the photography in the film.

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.
