  Millennium Mambo 2001

  ★★★½ Watched 13 Apr 2022

  The first scene could easily be one of the best I've ever seen.
  Almost two months have passed since the last time I decided to sit in my room and watch a film, partly due to lack of time, but mainly due to lack of mentality. I don't feel bad, and I'd dare say quite the opposite. I think that for now, I don't have the mind that is needed to watch films, at least those that I'd like.
