I know it has not been long since I announced my hiatus from the site, but Poor Things is a film that is inspiring me to write again. For one, it is a film that I admit I am not entirely sure what to make of it. Secondly, it is a film that has got me thinking that I need to rewatch some of Yorgos Lanthimos' works, as well those of Tony McNamara, because I have probably not been enjoying…

Mr. Nobody 2009
I'm going to gain a lot of enemies for this. Enemies who will try to point out that I "just didn't get the film" or "have a distaste for European cinema".
