This is such a gorgeous movie! I mean, the cinematography is just gorgeous! And that is to say nothing about the music which encompasses the whole!

Sunrise (2014) – An Intensely Real Story That Veers Into Fantasy
This is a little treasure of a movie I found on Netflix (Nordic). I am so glad that I watched it because it was worth it.

Our House (2017) – Sharing Unnatural Space
This was a watch out of curiosity. And I am glad I did. It is a film made by a relatively new director Yui Kiyohara who has only made one other movie in which information, let alone pictures, are hard to come by.

Well, now I … Continue reading Rangeela (1995) – A Colourful Love Triangle with Two Strong Shades and One Clear One

This is a good movie! I've seen it twice now and it is still entertaining and there is always something to look for in the details.

Much Ado About Nothing (2011) – Sizzlingly Fun and Entertaining Shakespeare with Tennant and Tate
This is my favourite adaptation of Shakespeare's work simply because it's so accessible and immensely quotable with lines fit to burn anyone you dislike by the first scene alone. Add to already a play filled with sarcasm, burns and David Tennant and Catherine Tate with the loose sun bathed British in the 1980s and you … Continue reading Much Ado About Nothing (2011) – Sizzlingly Fun and Entertaining Shakespeare with Tennant and Tate
