I think nobody really missed the premiere of Todd Philips’ dark, disturbing, unexpected take on the origin story of Batman’s fiercest arch-enemy. Probably it’s going to be one of the best films of this decade, not only because of Joaquin Phoenix’s mesmerizing acting, but also with the refreshing take this movie has regarding stories in...
A couple of years ago we witnessed the release of the American take on Masamune Shirou’s legendary manga Ghost in the Shell. That movie was, for me, a complete miss in regards to the story and its themes, and in my opinion only recycled the same old Hollywood themes of fighting for “justice” and “freedom”...
I don’t even know how to begin writing this. Is this the beginning of the text already? Or will I begin writing it at some point and then reach this place again and again? I’m not really sure. I don’t know where I am. These were a bit my feelings after watching Black Mirror: Bandersnatch...

The film was nominated this year for the Academy...

I won’t go into much detail here about that because I’m interested in one thing: the music, written...
