  • Blade of the Immortal

    1. Blade of the Immortal

    Japanese Movie - 2017

    The first time I watched it I dropped it because of the constant fighting but I tried again and finally understood the appeal. It's very dark and at times cold and emotionless. But the movie somehow catches you emotionally. It may be for the despair underlying the whole story or for the greek tragedy character played (very well) by Kimura or the dark irony that flourishes now and then. Tarantino's Kill Bill is floating in the air. 

  • Zatoichi

    2. Zatoichi

    Japanese Movie - 2003

  • Parasita

    3. Parasita

    Korean Movie - 2019

    A movie you watch in awe and fascination. So well done that you feel it in your guts, like reading a novel by LF Céline. The scene of the flood reminded me so much of scenes in "Le voyage au bout de la nuit".

  • Uma Flor Congelada

    4. Uma Flor Congelada

    Korean Movie - 2008

  • Amor à Flor da Pele

    5. Amor à Flor da Pele

    Hong Kong Movie - 2000

  • #Alive

    6. #Alive

    Korean Movie - 2020

  • Desejo e Perigo

    7. Desejo e Perigo

    Chinese Movie - 2007

    Ang lee's movie is full of tension and passion. Tony Leung portrays a traitor to his country; despite all his wrongdoings, you never manage to hate him completely and as he keeps being fascinating. The main character is a female student who struggles to keep on tracks with her mission when passion and hard truths make their way to her heart. I couldn't help but think about Coppola's Godfather. 

  • Em Chamas

    8. Em Chamas

    Korean Movie - 2018

  • The Man From the Sea

    9. The Man From the Sea

    Japanese Movie - 2018

    At first I had a hard time understanding what it was all about. You have to let it go and just follow the tide. It seems is's a kind of metaphor for nature and especially water, sometimes it heals and helps you, sometimes it just hurts you. Unpredictable and fascinating.
