Diary – Cave of Forgotten Dreams
I first saw Werner Herzog’s 3d documentary on a random afternoon in 2011, when in a retrospective it was screened at Cinesesc at downtown São Paulo. The only thing I can recall from that time was how I left the cinema feeling a profound connection to humanity and history. Seven years later, I had the […]

Diary: Boyhood and Proust
Boyhood 2014 – Richard Linklater Configuring as what I’m considering one of the best movies of 2014 and a very interesting experience to cinema as a whole, Richard Linklater movie is cinema at it’s core: time. Capturing the characters for 12 years is not just a gimmick to market the film, or a backdrop to […]

Diary: The Grand Budapest Hotel

A lot of visual gags in the movie draw upon this silent movie comedy cinema as far to rythm, editing and even by resorting to […]

Diary: The Double

From the director of one of my favorite movies (Love Exposure) comes this marvelous and humorous depiction of love to cinema. Altough you won’t cry of emotion like La Nuit Américaine this […]

Diary – Frances Ha
Another very late movie night, or early morning during work depending from the point of view. Recently discovered the website yify.tv to stream the movies and found Frances Ha to watch.

Diary – 47 Ronin
Also watched during my night shifts as a receptionist this movie is surely the worst I have seen in the last years and 50% of the reason is the bad dubbing over the chinese characters that probably didn’t speak good english. I’m trying to find at least something good to say about it but I […]
