An average crime film that begins to shift into burlesque waters with the arrival of George Segal, reminiscent of the series Magnum, thereby losing its character and dynamism. On top of that, there’s Stick (or rather Styk) Reynolds, who, with his slimy mustache drawn on with a marker, lecherously circles around a…

Very unique and exceptional film, not resembling anything that is being produced in the Czech Republic. It's very unconventional in its narration and what is more important, it has stunning production design (probably not very expensive but effective) and cinematography with a lot of color filters and split screens…

If I had to choose one anime series that I was looking forward to the most in anime season Summer 2018, that managed to entertain me and charge me with positive energy, that simply had the right summer vibes then I would choose this one without a second thought. For anyone who had a wild youth, this is a great show (I…

The Fable took a while to grow on me. It’s not without its flaws, and the biggest one for me was definitely the pacing. This series moves pretty slowly, spending a lot of time on character development and gradually unfolding its various storylines. At times, it was so slow I found myself yawning, with my attention…

I can imagine Kei Sazane brainstorming, thinking, "We've had reincarnated heroes, plenty of characters going through time regression, but what about a world that reincarnates and regresses? And the hero? He'll be the only one left unchanged!" And honestly, I love the concept—it's really clever. But even with that…

A monstrous rhetorical contest in which Diane Keaton sometimes has the upper hand over Warren Beatty and sometimes Warren Beatty has the advantage over Diane Keaton, and Jack Nicholson, as the alcoholic Eugene O’Neill, easily has both of them in his pocket. Reds does not aggressively attack the viewer’s mind, and I…

If Clint Eastwood has a directorial role model, I would guess that it’s not John Huston, who is shown here as a misogynistic egomaniac. What’s fascinating about this slow expedition into the heart of darkness, enlivened several times with highly subjective scenes, is Eastwood’s self-reflexive effort to look back from…

“This is a promise. For the next hour, everything you hear from us is really true and based on solid fact.” Placing extraordinary demands on the viewer’s attention, F for Fake is an incredibly concise essay on swindling and swindlers that, like Citizen Kane, is mainly a (indecipherable?) riddle for (in)credulous…

The world is accelerating, the quantum of information is growing and time still passes. The result is a greater volume of stimuli that we are forced to receive. As four films in one, Timecode saves us time on the one hand but, on the other hand, its form practically makes it impossible for anyone to take it all in…

It annoys me that Unknown doesn’t allow viewers to form bolder hypotheses (the provided information can hardly be taken as an inducement to look for a double meaning) and to think more than is necessary to understand the elementary narrative causality that Serra gets by with throughout the film (go to character A,…
