Titanic has always held a special place in my heart and of all my favourite movies it's the one I've had the longest history with. The first time I watched the movie, or rather parts of it, must have been in the early 2000s when I visited some relatives for Christmas and my cousin and I got bored and when we turned on the TV the ship just started to sink, which was pretty scary back then. A few years…

Stoker 2013
When it comes to Stoker there's a lot to talk about and to analyse, be it in relation to Park's other movies or on its own but ultimately that one thing that stood out for me the most – what makes it so special for me – among the many things I like about the movie is the piano scene.

I luckily caught the only screening at a retrospective to celebrate Haneke’s 80th birthday before it disappears in the archives again.
I’m not sure if this movie would be interesting…

The Piano Teacher 2001
My mum doesn't watch a lot of movies. We live in the middle of nowhere and the only cinema near us only shows bad comedies or action movies, genres we both don't like very much. After I was old enough to go to the theater on my own she didn't watch movies outside of our living room for almost a decade because going to Vienna just to watch a movie seemed like too much of an effort. But a few…
