Brünel in the Labyrinth of Turtles : Lucky to have seen such a masterpiece !

 Being a huge fan of Brünel since I came across Un Chien Andalou, I was excited to have a chance to watch the movie : Brünel in the Labyrinth of Turtles at a theater in my city, Essen in Germany.

Based on the journey of his making of the documentary Las Hurdes, this animated movie is a masterpiece in each and every aspect of what a cinema should be. It made me deeply think about myself for quite sometime on my way back to home.
First of all the story is amazing in its own right. The juxtaposition of the then scenario of Spain with surrealism and witty humour is a perfect blend to keep you engaged with the cinema. The animation is astonishing with great visuals of dream sequences. The mixture of actual version of the movie Las Hurdes with the animation just makes you a part of his whole journey of how he made this film.

The music is fantastic in its own right and has perfect tones at various emotional stages of the movie.

All together, a complete mixture of all emotions with deep messages which takes you into self analysis, I suggest people if they have a chance to watch, do watch it without any doubt. It is relatable to each and every person.
To conclude the post, here is a quote of him on dreams :
“Give me two hours a day of activity, and I’ll take the other 22 in dreams.”

Aftersun : Charlotte Wells’s breathtaking depiction of father-daughter relationship is worthy to be remembered,

This year’s award season was quite a wild ride ranging from Everything Everywhere at all once to  Quiet Along the Western Front.  Among these Aftersun got into limelight. Charlotte Wells’s debut movie starring Paul Mescal got quickly into the names and after watching it I clearly see why this got so much acclaim. Even at times I feel it deserves more recognition considering the impact the whole cinema does. Aftersun is a slice of life story about a holiday trip of Calum (Paul Mescal) spending time with his daughter Sophie ( Frankie Corio) in Turkey of whose moments are recorded in MiniDV Camera by Sophie at times. The film traverses along all various topics of discussions between dad and his daughter. Calum is separated from Sophie’s mother and he is going through a financial crisis in his life. This is depicted in various ways throughout the film and also even Sophie realizes this at times. In the beginning, when they both go to Scuba diving, Sophie loses the mask and Calum i...

Hummingbirds : A unique documentary about slice of life addressing tons of current issues in USA .

Movie : Hummingbirds. Director :  Silvia Del Carmen Costaños,  Estefanía "Beba" Contreras. Cast : Silvia Del Carmen Costaños ,  Estefanía "Beba" Contreras. Year : 2023. My experience in documentary is quite minimal. I have watched some of them but you do not think of watching any of them usually. In my tour of Berlinale which I and my friend were browsing through the list to spend our evening, we come across this documentary called "Hummingbirds". The only thing that strike my eyes was a documentary issuing present day conflicts in USA. In my mind, I had no expectations of what to expect from such an indie documentary. Turns out after we both left the movie, we were both were very overwhelmed (I was in tears for a while) and enjoyed it a lot more than we expected. No wonder this documentary bagged the award for "Grand Prix International Jury "at Berlinale 23.  Directed by Silvia Del Carmen Costaños and Estefanía "Beba" Contreras (who al...

Antman and The Wasp : Quantamania : A chaotic hasty introduction to the next multiversal threat of the MCU.

 I got interested into the realm of superhero movies in depth when the Marvel movies really tried to make a business in the cinema industry. Especially, movies like  Captain America : Civil War and the others where the ones I got caught with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even these movies have dramas and made mostly in big scale for commercial success, the underlying idea of superheroes dating from comics and connecting all the movies to have an epic finale against a big villain intrigues me. Feige with his vision of Iron Man had made this possible with his 10 year conclusion of Infinity Saga of all the superheroes fighting the mad Titan Thanos. Fans were questioning at that time what is the next saga going to be and who is going to replace that gravitas what Thanos had. The Marvel Disney+ TV series Loki, finally gave us the clue of this introducing a Multiversal variant of the titular villain : Kang the Conqueror. This created a lot of hype in the Marvel fan base and made us...
