“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since I always had a weak spot for David Cronenberg's work, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, it turned out to be one of these cheap Canadian horror movies he made at the beginning of his career but even though I didn't care much for the” read more

“Well, it had been more than a decade since Nick Park had delivered a new movie so, of course, I was quite eager to check his latest directing effort. I had to admit that I was slightly worried after my 11 year old daughter made me watch the trailer but, fortunately, it was still a decent watch. Firs” read more
“Since this movie had been a huge box-office hit in 2017, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, even though I wasn't completely bored while watching this, it still didn't really blow me away though. First of all, even if the classic animated version from 1991 has a really stellar r” read more
“When I heard that RZA, the leader of the Wu Tang Clan, was coming with his own martial-arts flick, it sounded like something quite amazing. Eventually, it took me longer than expected to watch the damned thing and, after all, it turned out to be a decent watch but not much more, I'm afraid. First of” read more
Notes: First of all, let's be obvious, would anyone really care about it if it would have been directed by another really obscure artist? I seriously doubt it but I have to admit that it was still an interesting watch though. First of all, it did help that I did read 'A Clockwork Orange' and saw Kubrick's version a couple of times, otherwise, I would have been completely unable to follow the damned thing. Concerning the directing, was it really artistic or just really amateurish? Again, it is hard to tell but it is something that might be said about all the Art work delivered by Warhol. And, yet, there was still something quite mesmerising about the damned thing and, somehow, he did manage to bring other the nihilism and the oppressive feeling from this classic book. Still, I'm glad that it was fairly short as it became increasingly random and chaotic towards the end.

Notes: Back in those days, after making only one full length feature in Poland (the also brilliant ‘Nóz w wodzie’), Roman Polanski didn’t hang around very long and took off pretty much right away to start an international career. Eventually, his first stop would be in England and, there, he made his first genuine masterpiece. Indeed, if his directing debut was pretty impressive, this sophomore effort was just quite mind-blowing. Basically, there was no much plot whatsoever, but instead, you were immersed into the nightmarish world of the main character played by the ultimate Ice Queen, Catherine Deneuve. The juxtaposition of her incredible natural beauty with her obvious mental meltdown was just one of a kind and one of the most spellbinding depiction of madness you'll ever see on the silver screen. From the very beginning, it was pretty obvious that Polanski was not interested in stereotypical righteous heros and he would rather give us some twisted and rather messed up characters, something I always found much more compelling to behold.
