  I Am Curious (Yellow) 1967

  ★★★★★ Added 2

  People who support cinematic conservatism and will refuse liberalist ideals: BEWARE! Vilgot Sjöman directs what may be the very first masterful cult film ever committed to European celluloid. This gorgeously sensationalist work of art has come to shatter the current morality, to question the foundations of the social structures, to take that very peculiar and characteristic insatiableness of youth to an extreme, and to question your political beliefs. With an irreverent sense of humor, a style that established the bases…

  I Am Curious (Blue) 1968

  ★★★★★ Watched 16 Jun 2018

  Vilgot Sjöman: You get a love scene with Lena. A love scene with consequences.
  Börje: What kind of consequences?
  Vilgot Sjöman: I don't know. I'll think of something.

  Many divisive films exist in cinema, but they follow a trend: there is always a unique proportion, significantly greater than or equal to 5% among my cinephile acquaintances, that loves the film and defends it. John Waters, Jean-Luc Godard, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Dusan Makavejev are excellent examples of this.…

  Sorcerer 1977

  ★★★★½ Watched 22 May 2023 1

  *Twitch Redeem by Jaime Rebanal.*

  Friedkin at the top of his controversial cinematic game remaking something "untouchable", and yet the result is electrifying. The first chapter is glorious in its globetrotting concoction of multiple perspectives of low lives that will be ultimately reduced to a deadly task; I just wished Mexico wasn't reduced to a 3-minute-long snippet of a man being shot; it almost seems like a stereotype. Why is the emphasis so disproportionate and biased in favor of France?…

  Holy orange flying, propane-fueled, motorcycle-spinning and head-ripping wuxia cow!!! This ain't no Big Trouble in Little China (1986); this is "Huge Problem for All of Hong Kong"!

  Tetsuo: The Iron Man 1989

  ★★★★★ Added 61

  Imagine that Luis Buñuel and David Lynch had intense homosexual encounters in a cheap motel in Tokyo under the influence of hallucinogens. Imagine that, after that, both (yes, both) conceived a single son. Finally, imagine that the aforementioned son made a movie and that every single scene in that movie was directed by him when he had an orgasm smoking opium.

  That's Tetsuo, the true Iron Man, so the hell with the Marvel character. Tsukamoto takes us back to the…
