smth between 6 and 7
I don't really imbued with a bitter love story and sometimes the movie (rather heroes) was too terse therefore it was a little bit boring and long but at the same time there were very beautiful scenery, constant dynamics of the weather and astonishing accuracy of the wind image and handsome Kaya Scodelario with flowing hair - DirectorJacques AudiardStarsLucie ZhangMakita SambaNoémie MerlantÉmilie meets Camille who is attracted to Nora, who crosses paths with Amber.

powerful 11 and 12 episodes (deep thoughts in dialogues) but whole movie was a little bit boring (not enough liveliness) and theme's also about humiliating position of woman - DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsAnna KarinaClaude BrasseurDanièle GirardTwo crooks with a fondness for old Hollywood B-movies convince a languages student to help them commit a robbery.17.09

+it was beautiful and extremely simple in its main moral at the same time - DirectorJordan PeeleStarsDaniel KaluuyaKeke PalmerBrandon PereaThe residents of a lonely gulch in inland California bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.24.09
...I thought I noted my observations about this movie...
I will put it this way (28.09): the movie was a little bit boring but it was really amazing concept about how we capture or maybe even shape the spectacle in new world after loss of meaning and crisis of ideas + cinema halls closers (if we mean covid) and still our interest to unknown and paranormal
What I mean: earlier at the dawn of the cinema we saw the spectacle in the dynamics (famous horse at a gallop for example which became the symbol of the dynamics in the movie nope), now dynamics as the main aspect of any mass movie became a little bit annoy (if we mean any chase movies for last 10 years) but still exciting/captivating; it's important attract viewers to new forms of spectacle which the director tried to find
According to director, the world became normal again when we'll catch a new form of spectacle and not bury the horse as the symbol of the birth of the cinema and the era of gold cinema at all
It shows in the movie what price we will pay for trying to shoot a new entertainment; the sight is also important - DirectorTerrence MalickStarsAugust DiehlValerie PachnerMaria SimonThe Austrian Franz Jägerstätter, a conscientious objector, refuses to fight for the Nazis in World War II.25.09
- DirectorClaire DenisStarsYekaterina GolubevaRichard CourcetVincent DupontA serial killer terrorizes Paris at night, but that doesn't stop Daïga and Théo from meeting up, and falling in love.30.09
- DirectorSharunas BartasStarsYekaterina GolubevaRimma LatypovaArunas SakalauskasIn Kaliningrad two Lithuanian boys meet two Russian girls. They have difficulties in finding places where they can sleep together. But this is the only problem they do solve. All four justly feel miserable because their lives are meaningless (the recurrent dull and poorly kept house façads could well be taken as a comparative symbol). In addition, everyone is so absorbed by his or her own distress and hardly capable of bothering about the anguish of the others. The three days end with a pervasive lack of contact.01.10

- DirectorKanji NakajimaStarsMitsuhiro OikawaEri IshidaHiromi NagasakuThe Clone Returns Home is a compelling meditation on the paradox of life and death, and the meaning of love and family. Set in an imaginary - yet utterly imaginable - future, this quietly provocative film skillfully transposes complex emotional drama into the realm of science fiction by exploring the influence of technology on human memory and experience.

like the scene in the fortress of solitude (visual moments against the background of space) and voiceover voicing the thoughts of simple people in some places but the whole movie was too romantic, naive and even silly sometimes (without seriousness, responsibility and reflexivity of the main character) and a little bit edifying + I really don't like superman as a character
