68th Berlin International Film Festival: Marilyn Review
It takes courage to follow your heart, and the pain of self-discovery is at times hard to endure. This is the journey that awaits Marco (a superb performance by the emerging actor Walter Rodriguez), the young protagonist of Marilyn. Marilyn – a directorial feature debut from Martín Rodríguez Redondo, an Argentinian filmmaker – is based on…

Phantom Thread Review
Can any of us really comprehend that Daniel Day-Lewis now ended his acting career? Hear me weep… Daniel Day-Lewis, one of the most awarded (three Oscars under his belt) and the most fastidious – he had always carefully chosen his projects – actors out there, gave his farewell performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread….
Maze Runner: The Death Cure Review
Maze Runner: The Death Cure, directed by Wes Ball and written by T.S. Nowlin, is the final chapter of the popular saga about the young protagonist Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and his friends.

Darkest Hour Review
Winston Churchill was of one the most charismatic politicians of the 20th century. His stubbornness and his refusal of Hitler’s “peace” proposals led to saving around 330 thousand lives, in both British and allied troops, from Dunkirk in 1940. One can easily say that were it not for Churchill, world would have been a different…
In Conversation with Yoshiki of X Japan
It was one of those days when I did not really expect any extraordinary to happen… until I got invited to interview the amazing, superbly talented multi-instrumentalist Yoshiki of X Japan who – at the time – was visiting London to promote Stephen Kijak’s (Stones in Exile, Scott Walker: 30 Century Man, Backstreet Boys: Show ‘Em What…
The Disaster Artist Review
Los Angeles is a multi-layered city. It is the cradle and the capital of the American cinema, and thus the birthplace of the world’s greatest stars, but also… a place where many delusional ‘artists’ try their luck. When Tommy Wiseau, a mysterious man, in 1998 befriended Greg Sestero in an acting class in San Francisco,…
The 12th London Korean Film Festival: The Outlaws Review
Gangster themes have been featured in South Korean cinema since the 1970’s, but they only became popular in the early 1990’s. Various productions ‘promoted’ the image of an ‘honourable’ mobster; however, in the past decade or so, films took on a more vicious approach to the subject matter; they became more brutal, with homicides and…

Dunkirk Review
The topic of the Second World War has been depicted mainly in two ways so far, which can be represented by Steven Spielberg’s exactness and the poetic parlance of Terrence Malick; other films flicker in between these two directors’ styles. Christopher Nolan, meanwhile, with his new production – Dunkirk – took a different approach to the…
Wonder Woman Review
When it comes to feminism and the power of the female, the world of superheroes is much too starved for comfort, especially so when it comes to the film renditions of the popular comic book material. But in 1941, William Moulton Marston introduced a completely different character to the budding world of comics – Wonder…
