Movie Reviews
This movie goes through the recent Chinese history, especially Chinese contemporary arts, with Sigg’s experience with China. Sigg was working for Schindler Escalator and Elevator Company and he was hoping to set up the first joint ventures between Chinese government and his company in 1979, in the post-Mao era. After he finished his assignment with […]
It is the best summer movie! I truly enjoyed every moment. If you are happy now you should see it so that you will be merrier. If you are less happy you should also see it so that you will be really happy. It is my first experience to see the movie by Dominique Abel […]
First and Most importantly it is a bad movie… It is an insult to French people!! This movie goes through a very shallow surface of France and portraits a French man as a “desire only, no brain” type. I have very good French friends living in a country side near Limoges, and have stayed at […]
I like Emily Dickinson’s poems. The movie is about her. She basically lived in isolation with close relationship of family members and few friends. She created so many beautiful poems, but she almost did not leave her home. She lived in her room, upstairs of her family home. She never gotten married, but she wrote […]
This movie has been in my “must see” list, and finally I went to Laemmle to see it. Unfortunately it was an English version instead of Japanese with English subtitle. I liked it so much, but I have to go back to see the real version! I felt strange to hear English speaking from Japanese […]
This movie is showing at Laemmle now. Hirokazu Kore-eda, a famous Japanese movie director and writer, did it again! I really enjoyed “Like Father, Like Son” (original Japanese title そして父になる）and I like this new one more than the last one. This movie depicts Japanese gentle mind and soul. During the movie I wanted to scream […]
NERUDA is an imaginative tale about the fugitive poet Pablo Neruda and the police officer who is set on capturing him. The cold war reached Chile and Neruda has a warrant to be arrested because of his political stance. It is based on the true and gruesome story, but the movie is a fantasy, love and power. It […]
I saw this movie on 1st of January 2017! It was a perfect choice! It s a uplifting story based on the true experience. Talented cast and directing makes this “feeling good” movie not too much tear jerking. Five-year-old Saroo (Dev Patel) unexpectedly gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of Kilometers across […]
It is really a cool movie. Aisholpan, a 13 year-old girl, trains to become the first female eagle huntress in 12 generations of her Kazah family. She is strong, she loves eagles, she loves nature, she loves her family, she loves her friends at school, SO she is a good girl! This attempt is against […]
“The Handmaiden“ uses a Victorian crime novel, Sara Waters’ “Fingersmith”, as the loose inspiration to create Japanese-occupied Korea in the 1930s. The result is a historical drama, an erotically charged thriller, and, most importantly, true romance. Park Chan-wook, a director, is very sophisticated, creative and flexible. I don’t want to go into the details of the story. […]
