  Fallen Angels 1995

  ★★★★ Rewatched by Thomas 23 Apr 2022

  First review: letterboxd.com/thommy1801/film/fallen-angels/

  “Fallen Angels”, the sequel in spirit to “Chungking Express”, can be described as a romantic crime noir, but above all, it´s a sentimental and artistic mood piece capturing the feelings of loneliness, love, and belonging in the big city. The more Wong Kar-wai films I see, the more I fall in love with his special way to make “vibes only” movies.

You just have to admire his originality, ambition, and desire to push the limits of the medium as well as the uncompromising way with which he executes his vision. “Tenet” is a challenging and cerebral high concept sci fi film with an interesting…

  The Witch 2015

  ★★★★ Rewatched by Thomas 21 Apr 2022

  Revisiting the film a few years later, I get the feeling that every atmospheric slow-burn arthouse horror film that came after it tried to be the new “The Witch”, with only a handful of them succeeding (the two Ari Aster films come to mind). As an absolute statement, this isn´t true, of course (and for example “It Follows” was released a year earlier), but I think you can say that “The Witch” is one of the most influential horror films…
