It took me quite some time to revisit this one. I think I only saw it when it came out in cinemas, and honestly, it became my favorite Tarantino film. There are so many things to love here, whether this always captivating and nostalgic idealization, this love for the ironic iconography it addresses. All this warm nostalgia that is saying goodbye to a cinema and an era, which knows while filming an idealization of it, that more and more is…

Pastoral: To Die in the Country 1974
It is one of the best movies to kickstart the Japanese New Wave, as it vividly expresses the ideas that were being explored by filmmakers of that era, especially the younger ones: a continuous struggle against the past and the post-war period, diving into existential and identity crises that permeated the entire Japanese New Wave and the youth of the time, amplified by cinematic experimentations that allowed a new approach to the unconscious and cinematic language.

Bingo: The King of the Mornings 2017
I like how the film uses this speed of the editing and artificiality of photography to highlight how all situations have a certain theatricality, of which the protagonist is pathologically involved.

On the other hand, this uninterrupted speed is the biggest problem with the movie and makes it really seem like a film directed by an editor who is not…
