What I usually look for in a film is authenticity, creativity and an interesting message. But from time to time I just like a fun light movie to relax and laugh a bit! In general, I can say I have an eclectic taste in films but there some genres that I prefer the most. In particular, I do enjoy science fiction, comedy, indie films, animation and fantasy.

Rather than giving a review for each film or a summary of the plot, I’m listing them here to share with you how a little thought for each of them.

Once Upon a Forest.

This takes me back to when I was a child and is the first animation film I remember watching as a little girl. I love traditional animation and the nostalgia that comes with. It’s a sweet sad story that made me emotional every time I watched it. It tackles an environmental theme and the effect that Man can have on Nature. It’s about friendship, adventure, fear, courage and kindness. I like its dreamy feeling and the message of the story.

Mr Nobody.

 “As long as you don’t choose everything remains possible”. That’s a quote from this romantic sci-fi film that is still stuck in mind. I often struggle with making choices and overthinking so this film resonated with me quite a bit. Also, I really liked the acting, the photography and the surreal feeling that is present in the film.

Under the Skin

I took me a few days to really appreciate this film. I am not sure there was a real intention to communicate something specific but it definitely made me feel something. In a way, I think it represents a sort of documentary of humanity from an alien perspective. What is really ‘normal’ ? We perceive things in ‘normal’ way only because we are accustomed to it or we’re told to believe that this is how it should be.

Inception

I’m really fascinating by the world of dreams and well… Leonardo DiCaprio! (my first love as a teenager) eh eh.. Anyway, I think it’s a really interesting film about loss, love and the world of our subconscious mind. Still wondering about the end. In general, I am not a super fan of endings that are not very clear but in this case I think I certainly make an exception.T

In Bruges

The funny thing is that after watching it, my boyfriend and I decided to fly to Belgium and visit Bruges for a few days…ha ha.. Really lovely city with a of romantic feeling to it I’d say. This film made me feel different emotions: bit awkward and amused at the same time. Film with an interesting plot.

Shaun of the Dead 

Funny parody of a zombie movie. Also if you want to go a bit deeper there’s nice message beyond the messy zombies… I think it’s like a metaphor about feeling stuck and needed a push to change things.

The Lord of the rings

I can’t say I now remember the story very well as I watched it a while ago but I can say it was just very impressive. The set, the actors, the CGI…Basically everything.

Blue is the warmest Colour

I really liked the acting in this film. It feels authentic and moving. Love is a very complicated topic and the way in was depicted in this film was very captivating. I wish there was a sequel.

Favourite TV Series!

Master of None

An entertaining tv series with which I could relate to. Every character feels original and interesting.

The Durells

I liked how women are portraited and the light humour. I do appreciate how spontaneous the acting feels. Some shots only just focus on a close-up or a little smile. They speak more than words to me. It’s set in the lovely Corfu too.

Sherlock Holmes

Really great acting. I don’t think I’ve read any books on Sherlock yet but I enjoyed the tv series nonetheless.

Call my Agent (Dix pour Cent)

Fun and light tv series. I really hope there’s going to be a new season soon. In this tv series as well I liked how women are depicted and the original storyline.

Sense 8

Amazing locations and plot. I was a bit confused after watching the very first episode but I got more into it as the story starts to develop.

The Office (British one)

Some people say it was too cringey in some instances but I didn’t think so. I actually quite liked the moments of awkwardness. I did like ‘Extras’ as well by the same director.

Black Mirror

Every episode is always challenging but thought-provoking at the same time. It made reflect on the power of technology and how it can really affect our lives.

Well, that’s all for now! I will update it in the future, if need be.
