Remembering Allen: Five Masterpieces of Woody Allen (For Me)

"My one regret in life is that I am not someone else."

 quoted by Woody Allen

Review on THE END OF THE TOUR (James Ponsoldt, 2015)

Adapted from David Lipsky's own memoir, Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself, THE END OF THE TOUR perfectly encapsulates one of the most nuanced, intense conversations about fame and ego, into a genuinely feel-good film that can feel intimate at times while being personally open. Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segel shine through the film, but Segel's effort in becoming David Foster Wallace needs to be acknowledged so dearly.

Review on TANGERINE (Sean Baker, 2015)

 

TANGERINE is one of the comedy-drama films that will go on as one of the classic films as it is warm, funny, and it tackles the technicality of what constitutes a film to be great, and the performances from the both trans actresses need to be applauded, this indie hit film is also a must-watch.

Review on TRAINWRECK (Judd Apatow, 2015)

TRAINWRECK delivers a sensitive remark to the thought of monogamy and it hits right to your heart, as well as a little peek to Amy Schumer's life through physical comedy and relatable vulgar scenarios.

Review on UNEXPECTED (Kris Swanberg, 2015)

The story about here is simple; often maybe seen as formulaic. But Kris Swanberg's third feature film, UNEXPECTED soars higher than I thought it would be.

"When I decide to portray a part, I can never completely hide who I am, what I am. At the point of identification, the audience encounters a person, not a role, not an actress. A face to face. It's what I know about women. It's what I have experienced, what I've seen. That's what I want to share with you."

- Liv Ullmann

Remembering Kar-wai: Three Masterpieces of Wong Kar-wai (For Me)

"I'm not coming from film school. I learned cinema in the cinema watching films, so you always have a curiosity. I say, 'Well, what if I make a film in this genre? What if I make this film like this?'" 

quoted by Wong Kar-wai
