Letterboxd — Your life in film

English / Spanish Review:
Too much internal drama that just didn't get to me. I was thinking while I was watching it what is special about Yi-Yi (because Terrorizers is already outstanding just cinematographically), and it is that there is not such focus on suffering or disenchantment as much as here, in that one it is hidden and perceiving it becomes more powerful for me than when it's already presented it to you directly like here, the meeting in Yi-Yi…

With Blue Velvet deleted scenes Lynch made a better movie than many others, not even joking.

This one is more centered in the university life of Jeffrey and his family life. Like a cheesy american highschool movie but without being cheesy because of that strange and weird way of showing his family and entourage (Lynch has a great understanding of how people behave).

In general it's not outstanding, you could understand why some moments were not included, but the end...…

English / Spanish Review:
I have not liked it as much as the previous times. It confirms an idea that is around my head that in recent years I value films more as a whole and previously I did it more for the individual moments / sequences or small details that form it (I don't know what is better, simply that this change is a fact).

I still think that Susumu Terajima is spectacular, that Kitano plays a…

I already wrote a previous review, so I'm going to talk about why I love this movie, what it makes me feel outside the movie itself.

Sadly even if I don't speak directly about the movie, it could being considered as having spoilers because of understanding what could happen in it.

The begining with the photos of his childhood, what happens later, and the end sums the idea of some friends who are not here anymore. Life is strange, those…

English / Spanish Review:
I had only watched one Melville movie previously, "Bob le Flambeur" that I liked so much I thought it was time to try with one of the best known of his career.

For me 'Le Samouraï' is a slave to its style or form, in the moments when it works it is spectacular, with the silence of the protagonist, his stoicism, the main theme and how it accompanies Delon's mental state, the bluntly narrative and very…

English / Spanish Review:
Beautiful animation and drawings far from the common anime. The movie starts and develops very well and in a very interesting way, recalling at times to Mizoguchi's 'Princess Yang Kwei Fei' with that idea of discovering that perhaps riches and living in a luxurious way is not everything in this life, and more if one has previously known a world with less artifice but more intense and with fewer emotional restrictions.

I do…

Again with Yoshiaki Kawajiri the animation is impressive, on an aesthetic level Kawajiri is at the top tier of anime; the characters design, colors, shadows, backgrounds, and how the characters fit inside. This movie and most Kawajiri's, is a great example to compare with what I mean when I say that Miyazaki's characters don't merge with the background and seem like wax dolls, and that's not a problem of backgrounds, Miyazaki in general has beautiful backgrounds (many drawn by the…
