Time seems to stretch and space seems to contract as you walk through any of the eight gigantic steel toruses that make up Richard Serra's astonishing "The Matter of Time" at the Guggenheim Bilbao. The sheer size of each juxtaposed with the narrow walkways make it almost impossible to truly appreciate the dimensions that you traverse. Disembodied voices and fragmented footsteps of fellow patrons serve to disorientate both spatially and temporally. You can never make out the end of the…

Then, that makes you a dream movie star
If we are to accept that there are such things as geniuses in this world, as those who have innate extraordinary level of imagination and creativity, then Susumu Hirasawa is without a doubt one who fits that description the most. Ever since he launched the melancholic assault on the psyche known as Guts, he has gone on to introduce audiences to the most oneiric music ever made, most of them set to…

Round About Midnight 1999
真夜中 (Mayonaka, /midnight/) is a really beautiful word I think. One of my recently-discovered favourite songs also has mayonaka in the title, and carries the same feeling within it.

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
Better review than mine that explains more or less the same grievances I had
Honestly thought that I wanted to write a lot about why this was so painfully unwatchable but then I came to the conclusion that I am probably not rhetorically skilled enough to accurately represent my feelings on this one without coming off as sanctimonious since its so beloved by so many, so I apologize in advance and here are some interviews with the directors that really…
