Notes: To be honest, even after re-watching this movie, I thought it was still tricky for me to judge the damned thing. I mean, it was so subtle and I was never really sure what Luis Buñuel was actually trying to achieve here. The interesting thing is that, the first time around, I thought it was great and inspiring and I really loved the damned thing. After all these years, it is rather difficult to imagine how shocking this movie must have been when it came out at the beginning of the 60's (in fact, even though it was made and produced in Spain, it was banned in this country for many years). Maybe, what Buñuel meant with this movie, was that the traditional religious dogma might be actually a waste of time as it goes against many of our basic urges. Eventually, we are all sinners some way or another so there is really no need to feel so guilty about it, as displayed in the last scene, and our sins are basically what makes us human. 
“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since it was included in the '1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die', I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, I'm usually not a huge fan of romantic costume dramas but I was actually surprised by how much I actually enjoyed this” read more
“In 2018, Netflix pulled off with this movie the biggest marketing stunt of the year. Indeed, during the Super Bowl, they finally released the first trailer but, above all, they announced that the movie would be directly available after the game which was something obviously never done before.

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since it was included in the '1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die', I was quite eager to check it out. To be honest, I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of such classic screwball comedies. Indeed, even though some of them are still real” read more

Notes: To be honest, I think I have never seen such a flawed classic. I mean, I know it is a huge classic and Audrey Hepburn was obviously quite charming in this flick but I seriously don’t understand how someone might consider this movie a masterpiece with the awful character played by the Mickey Rooney. Seriously, this character was so awful, he seriously ruined the whole thing for me. Coming to our main feature, it is a rather fluffy comedy which would be forever remembered for Holly Golightly, probably the most iconic character played by Audrey Hepburn. Eventually, Hepburn herself thought she was miscast but it became ultimately one of her most popular roles. Apparently, the story written by Capote was slightly darker with the main character even flirting with bisexuality but it was all removed and the end-result was something rather clean and boring. Anyway, I think the whole thing did have some potential but, by adding one of the most offending characters I have ever seen in a movie, they really lost me but since it is such a classic, it is still worth a look.
“To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since it was on TV, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, at first , it seemed to be another rather lame comedy starring Vince Vaughn. Indeed, he was playing his usual character who has become more annoying than actually entertaining ” read more

“I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie but since I have a weak spot for Emily Blunt, I thought I might as well check it out. In fact, I did see 'Cible émouvante', the French movie it was based on, ages ago and even though it was nothing amazing, I thought it was miles better than this British” read more
