An Italian comedy from the times of Seneca. Emperor Nero makes foolish decisions, while his mother Agrippina rules the empire. Overall, it could have been an interesting spectacle for viewers curious about Technicolor and CinemaScope, but in competition with many other films from the era of the early emperors, Nero's…

A skillfully filmed schizo with an excellent performance by Jim Carrey. Most people will remember him for The Mask, but it's in Man on the Moon that he kicks it up a gear and his Tony Clifton is a great caricature. Socially still quite topical, thematically novel, it's just that after an hour the whole farce gets…

An enjoyable and intimate atmospheric little horror film, where Benjamin Barfoot shows that he is not a loser and that he can definitely still surprise. It's nothing original, it's a bit of a mash-up of Come Play and The Babadook, but I can't remember the last time when an atmospheric and chilling affair like this…

One of the most optimistic and light-hearted films by Woody Allen. Mighty Aphrodite does not lack solid dynamics and relatively short running time. We may be seeing a variation of the same thing, but Mira Sorvino's charming prostitute brings a nice twist. In contrast, the antic elements are downright annoying and…

A decent Indian thriller on a serious note without the dancing and humour, which would not have been appropriate given the subject matter. Too bad there are no explicit scenes, but it's about children, so I can't blame them. That said, I was expecting the atmosphere to be darker and the pace a bit more exciting so I…

Sequels often stumble (with a few exceptions), but Death Note: The Last Name holds up surprisingly well. That’s probably because it was filmed with the same cast and crew in the same year, so the story picks up smoothly from where the first left off. My only gripe is with Misa’s character—she felt a bit off here.…

The story of a famous actor, recapitulating his career (including his theatrical beginnings), private life and activities during his years spent bound to a wheelchair. The numerous film clips and period materials complement the statements of Christopher Reeve’s children and other members of his family and fellow…

Mr. K, an ordinary man and travelling magician, spends the night before one of his performances in a hotel that he can’t manage to leave the next day. First, he is unable to find the exit because of the labyrinthine corridors and then his escape is prevented by the other guests, the hotel staff and even the hotel…

A very off-the-wall romantic musical comedy featuring a pair of young people, a girl in trouble and a family of cannibalistic murderers who kidnap the aforementioned girl (the romantic formula involving the rescue of one’s beloved is enriched with powerfully exaggerated brutal violence involving a lot of the…

With its non-linear narrative, The Wailing is an unconventionally structured horror movie gradually developed through the multiple consecutively arranged stories of its young protagonists, whose lives are closely connected to each other through the fact that the same murderous apparition appears to them. However, the…
