Call me old-fashioned but I still miss the times when the phone was just for calling. Texting? Writing a letter. Selfie? A photo camera. Music? A walkman/discman. And in case you lost one, you could still enjoy other activities. Now, if someone loses their phone, it’s the end of the world. Apocalypse! Everything’s gone! So this addiction to our smartphones is creeping me out, yet there are moments when I appreciate technological progress. Today, I’d like to recommend you a short film made by Vishal Bhardwaj, which was fully shot using… iPhone 14 Pro. Yes, a phone. And if you’re sceptical about its quality – well… you may be surprised. But hey, every film has a story, so I have to introduce you to the story of “Fursat” as well. We’re following a young man named Nishant (Ishaan Khattar), who’s found some ancient tool that allows him to travel in time. He becomes absolutely obsessed with it, but at some point he realises that the more he plays with time, the less he focuses on his beloved one – Diya (Wamiqa Gabbi). It’s a short film, so I cannot tell you too much not to spoil it entirely, but it’s not a typical Bollywood love story. We get some action, some adventure, some sci-fi – and all that accompanied by marvellous choreographies and music. I’m a Bollywood fan so I’ll always admire their aesthetics, despite often predictable storylines. Yet, what dancers in this film do is a wonderful spectacle, so you shouldn’t be disappointed. And getting back to the iPhone part – I was amazed by some shots and I believe they would be more difficult to organise with a classic video camera. So if we have such technologies, why not using them? I give my thumb up! And I also hope that if you’re an amateur filmmaker with interesting ideas for films but you feel like lack of equipment and money is stopping you – try to get some inspiration from such projects. There are numerous filmmakers who have everything you can think of and yet they end up making rather disappointing films. So if you have a good idea, grab your phone and make it happen. A good idea and a spark of filmmaking talent will always win with any kind of expensive equipment, trust me. And for those who’d like to watch “Fursat”, just click the title – it’s available for free on YouTube. May your day be full of time travel, dancing and iPhones.

We will fix you. “Atrabilious” (2023)

Today, I’d like to put a spotlight on the film that may not only entertain you or/and confuse a lot, but also let you look at the concept of grief from another perspective. Or perspectives, depending on how much you’ll be overthinking. The beginning already puts us in “look out, you may not fully get what’s happening” mood, but then we are introduced to the story of Steven (Leon Addison Brown), a man who has recently lost his son. He’s trying to move on with his life, but the horrible grief doesn’t make it easier. Soon we get the first plot twist, which is a spark of hope – Steven’s son might not be dead at all. Why? How? That’s for you to see, no spoilers as always. But here comes the most important place that will be the centre of most unusual events of this story – Steven goes to Atrabilious, a bar. Well, not just a bar – the bar where everyone struggling with some personal loss of theirs may find support. And the longer Steven stays there, the more he starts believing that his child might still be with us. If you expect me to tell you what genre this film is, I have to say: all of them. Obviously, we have some mystery to solve, but then, what happens in the bar is sometimes quite surrealistic. Add a pinch of dark humour and voilà – here’s your cinematographic drink called “Atrabilious”. I have to say that I got intrigued by the story from the moment Steven went into the bar for the first time and then my overthinking process began. I feel like I wrote hundreds of possible scenarios in my head and was just waiting for the final scenes to tell me which one was right. Fun fact – none of them. Or maybe not? You see, I can’t reveal how it all ends – that would be brutal – but I can guarantee the ending is for you to create. For sure, you may reflect a lot on the topic of grief and how one may deal with it. Is it even possible to move on? This film will not give you answers, but definitely throw even more questions at you, which later you need to analyse yourselves. I am indeed shocked that such a young director (who’s not even 20 years old!) has managed to tell a story that really burns your brain and is full of hidden elements to be put together by the viewers. This film is like a box of puzzle which, in the end, may show different pictures depending on who was doing it. And I like it! I also have to add that I noticed quite unusual camerawork in some moments (which is a plus) and good music (which is another plus). Also, here’s a cherry on top for older cinephiles – we may see Hunter Parrish and Will Parker playing together in one production, which to me, a fan of “Weeds” series, was a heart-warming experience. Anyway, make sure to remember “Atrabilious” and stop by for a cinematographic drink one day.

Chaos is my home. “My Old School” (2022)

If you’re generally not a big fan of documentaries, perhaps this one will change your mind. I found it by accident and didn’t have any high expectations, but ended up watching it with my eyes wide open, so let’s say – it’s catchy! Maybe some of you know the story of Brandon Lee and watching this film won’t surprise you that much, but if you don’t – do not google it! Just play “start” and enjoy what you see. You won’t regret it, I swear. The main star of the documentary is indeed Brandon Lee, who agreed to be interviewed, yet not filmed. That is why we may see Alan Cumming lip syncing to Brandon’s audio interviews, which is already a quite unusual experience. Personally, I’m a big fan of Alan Cumming and he did a marvellous job in this production, especially since the story is more than complex and Brandon himself is a rather mysterious person. Except listening to his interview, we may also see the man’s old classmates and teachers, who are more than happy to share their memories about the school times. Brandon is remembered as a very bright student, who was always willing to help his classmates in studying. He was very active during lessons and sometimes knew more than his teachers, which was highly admired. Brandon made many friends at school and everyone was impressed how well he managed life considering the fact that he’d lost both of his parents and was being raised only by his grandmother. However, it wasn’t difficult to notice that Brandon seemed to be older than his peers. Yet it didn’t matter to most of them as he was a perfect student and a friend to his classmates. But as you might be guessing, there’s a quite shocking secret that Brandon was hiding. I never heard of him before seeing this documentary, so I was indeed speechless when the secret got revealed at some point. I had to pause the film and verify whether it’s actually a documentary and not some fictional story, because I swear, I wouldn’t come up with anything like that myself. And obviously, I’m not going to spoil it to you. Yet I have to mention a few things that are a big plus of this production. First, Alan Cumming and his lip syncing performance – marvellous. I think that choosing him for this role was such a perfect idea. He generally seems like a rather mysterious person, so his appearance and body language were adding to this character. Second, we don’t only get to see people remembering Brandon, but there are also animated visualisations of what the interviewees describe. It makes the documentary more entertaining and visually attractive, in my opinion. Third, the story may seem to be quite funny, but if you look at it from Brandon’s perspective, it actually presents a real drama that many young people have to go through. How much one can do to make their dream come true? And in case of failing, they are left on their own, with no goals to achieve anymore. As much as I understand people being shocked and somehow frustrated about what Brandon did, I also feel a lot of sympathy towards him, especially knowing his real background story. You haven’t seen such documentary for sure, that one I can tell you. So give it a try and let it surprise you.

What is a soldier without war? “All Quiet on the Western Front” (“Im Westen nichts Neues”, 2022)

I have to admit that I was rather sceptical before watching today’s film. It’s because I’m a bit tired of continuous adaptations instead of creating fresh productions. “All Quiet on the Western Front” by Erich Maria Remarque had already had two film adaptations, one of which won two Oscars (Outstanding Production and Best Director). I’ve seen that first adaptation from 1930 and, indeed, it’s a film worth your time, just mind the fact it’s been almost 100 years since it was made. Plus, as the novel itself is culturally and politically significant, I’m not surprised that production was the winner back then. So, since we already have such cinematographic gem, what’s the point of making another one? Well, here I come saying: thank you holy spirits, tooth fairies and anyone above us for making this film happen. To make things clear, I’m not saying it’s an absolute masterpiece, but I do believe it’s needed. For those who haven’t read the book or haven’t heard of the story, it’s about the German soldiers who were fighting in World War I. The novel is very much appreciated mostly for its anti-war messages coming from it, especially for the indirect accusation of manipulating and murdering thousands of young men purely for political reasons. In the film, we’re following yet a teenager named Paul (Felix Kammerer), who enlists to fight in the War together with his friends. Even though we have a protagonist, I feel like we experience the story from all possible perspectives on the way. And the reason why I’m glad this film was produced is because we really need constant reminders about the ridiculousness of wars. Forgive my honesty, but I do believe there’s nothing to be proud of in leading your people to battles. In the novel and both adaptations (I haven’t seen the one from 1979) we may see how lost all those youngsters were in that situation. They were often not aware of what’s happening and what it takes to be on the front. Authorities were manipulating them to believe it’s a matter of respect towards their country and they should be proud of joining the army, while all those boys were was a human target for the other side. For what? Nothing more valuable than a human life, if you ask me. And I’m glad that we refresh such stories and make them visible to people all around the world. I also have to admit that I was thrilled how meticulously this adaptation was made, with all the details, short scenes that speak for themselves (for example the one where Paul receives his uniform and notices a label attached to it – I had chills), wonderful camerawork and editing. I know that it’s quite strange saying it considering the theme of this film but it’s truly beautiful from the technical point of view. And perhaps because it’s so perfectly done, it hits even harder with the content it presents. Plus, I’m sure more younger viewers will decide to see this one instead of the two previous adaptations because it’s more accessible and visually attractive. So, in the end, I’m glad this film happened. Do I wish it an Oscar? I don’t know. But I wish you to see it and reflect on the lesson we apparently haven’t learned as humanity.

Everything is happenin. “Space Is the Place” (1974)

If you need a film that will cheer you up on this gloomy Monday, then search no more. Let’s jump into a spaceship and listen to some good jazz, shall we? And I mean – literally. Today, I’d like to recommend you a sci-fi film from the 70s, which blew my mind and made me have the time of my life. In this one, we’re following Sun Ra (played by himself), who lands on some mysterious planet together with his band the Arkestra. Discovering the planet, he feels like it’s a way better place to be in and he comes up with an idea to bring African Americans to settle there. That is why Sun Ra flies with his spaceship to Oakland and starts encouraging young black-skinned people to join him. And what’s a better way to unite people than through music? That’s it! If you’re frowning right now while reading my post, then let me assure you – you’re not alone. When I played this film, I was feeling like in a hidden camera and waiting for someone to jump out to say it’s all a big joke. Well, it’s not. It’s an actual film of 85 minutes, which may really confuse you, but at some point, if you trust it enough, you may start enjoying the atmosphere a lot. As I mentioned before, it’s a sci-fi production, but a lot of people seem to consider it as a semi-documentary since Sun Ra was an actual person, a real artist, who was not only a talented jazz musician, but also a performer. He loved experimenting with music and visuals, and was a true icon of the African American music stage. You have a chance to see a film being a representative of Afrofuturism, which as you might be guessing, is focused on exploring the culture of Africans through technology, science and philosophy. For a long time in history, black-skinned actors weren’t taken into consideration while making films in many countries. And if so, their roles weren’t significant or anyhow valuable, quite the opposite. That is why they needed to create their own art to promote and spread their culture. Nowadays, we’re fighting for more equality, so we may see very different representatives in world wide cinema. Still, such cultural gems are definitely worth seeing, because they let us fully immerse in realities that are unknown to us. Personally, I love such experiences. This production was an awesome adventure not only because I’m a fan of jazz, but also because it’s so abstract and full of positive vibes, that there’s no way you won’t be enjoying yourself at the end of it. I’m not saying you’ll be fully aware of what’s happening – because neither was I – but it’ll make you smile for sure and that’s already a plus.

In that case, we will clean the sails. “Triangle of Sadness” (2022)

Don’t you just adore films where they mock our society for the whole time and we enjoy looking at it? Yeah, me too. Today, I’m recommending you “Triangle of Sadness”, which each of you may interpret in a totally different way. However, as much as I believe films are for everyone, this one has way too many hidden jokes, so at least you have to be attentive. Or old and have basic political/economical knowledge about the world. Then, you will enjoy it for sure. Personally, I was laughing hard together with some other 60+ man in the cinema (cheers, although you probably have no idea that it’s me who’s writing it, dear stranger), while the rest of the audience was quiet until actors started vomiting… yeah, well, films are for everyone, but perhaps not everyone should actually watch everything. Anyway, let me shortly introduce you to the story. The film is divided into three parts. At the beginning, we meet Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean) – a couple of models and influencers, who are having a quite interesting and long conversation on gender roles, which I’m not spoiling, obviously. Then, in the second part, they’re enjoying themselves on a luxury cruise together with a bunch of other disgustingly wealthy people. There, they are interacting with each other, but also with the yacht staff, who are going to do everything their rich guests expect from them. The only one who seems not to care much about this whole circus is the Capitan (Woody Harrelson), who simply can’t wait for the captain’s dinner, where a lot is about to happen. Don’t focus on my short description too much because I can’t tell you more without spoiling. However, despite being very long and tiring at some points (you can smell Swedish cinematography from the distance), I think this production is marvellous. It mostly focuses on social classes and how ridiculous our world has become. If you’re watching the film just for fun, you may not notice numerous moments where this ridiculousness is presented, but it’s not because they are that difficult to spot – it’s because we don’t seem to see anything wrong with them anymore. Yes, we have rich people who can do whatever they want, including disrespecting others and considering themselves as the real gems of our society. We know that, we accept that. But in fact, they are mostly absolutely useless, which is presented in the third part of the film. Can’t tell you how (I’m a nice person, no spoilers, okay?), but we may see the pointlessness of their existence and that they actually depend on us – lower classes. They might be spending millions on fancy stuff, eat things you’ve never heard of, make difficult life choices such as “champagne or wine” – but in the end, we don’t need them. The only reason we agree to their actions is their money. If only we could live in a world without money, things would change drastically. But we probably never will and that’s the sad truth coming from this film, covered in dark humour. Personally, I loved the ending, which is not clear at all and even the director admitted that he doesn’t know what he meant by it. But I think I may have an idea. How you see the ending is the reflection of who you are as a person. Intrigued? Hope so. Feel free to message me to talk about this film because I feel like whatever I say more, I may destroy the experience for you. So just enjoy it and let’s discuss later, shall we?

It was enough that I simply turned up. “Bringing Out the Dead” (1999)

SashLeave a comment
directed by Martin Scorsese

Some time ago Nicolas Cage became some kind of meme, but I’ll be glad to remind you that he is a good actor and he proves it for example in today’s film. Frank (Nicolas Cage) is a paramedic, who’s been working in this role for way too long. Or perhaps – way too intensively. As you might be guessing, in one shift paramedics experience more than most of us in the whole life. They constantly save people from numerous dangers, often see things that are difficult to forget and feel responsible for everything that goes wrong in their actions. Frank takes his job seriously and cannot accept the fact that very often the outcome doesn’t depend on him. Some people are not meant to be saved, yet he tries playing some kind of god capable of bringing out the dead. The film starts with Frank and his partner Larry (John Goodman) doing their best to help an elderly man having a cardiac arrest. After bringing him to the hospital, Frank starts bonding with the patient’s daughter Mary (Patricia Arquette), who used to be a drug addict, so she does have a quite interesting life story to tell. Frank continues his work, but also keeps seeing Mary at the hospital. Those two seem to have one very important thing in common – they both care about others, and perhaps that’s the reason they get on with each other so well. Unfortunately, this strong empathy has led Frank to struggling with depression and insomnia as he cannot stand losing patients. This film isn’t people’s favourite, but I’m afraid I know why. It’s not because it’s of a bad quality, but because it is too real and at the same time – terrifying. It takes a lot of courage to work as a paramedic because if you decide to take up such job, you immediately agree to lots of negative consequences it may have on your personal life. Obviously, each of us may say that their job is somehow tiring, but not many get back home after a shift knowing they just lost a human life. Or two. Or more. Sometimes it’s a drug addict, sometimes it’s an innocent child. And yet you go back home, have a meal, try to sleep well and somehow enjoy your life. In this film we follow Frank, who is overwhelmed by his lack of holy superpowers and who really struggles with accepting a failure in saving someone, but we may also see his colleagues who have decided to stay indifferent; they just do their job and if they succeed – great, if not – takeaway food and coffee is waiting anyway. And perhaps viewers may get judgemental about both types of approaches, but in the end – does it really matter? Paramedics have their knowledge, skills and equipment and they always do the best possible. Their approach doesn’t matter because whether someone survives or not is a true life roulette. Maybe there will be a traffic jam on the way to the patient? Maybe the patient has more severe problems than it seems? Maybe they are allergic to the medicine they’ll be given? Or maybe there will be too many patients at ER and the doctor won’t see them in time? And I think that’s why people aren’t such big fans of this production – because it reminds us how little depends on us. And sometimes, we have to simply think of ourselves and perhaps be nicer to others, because we never know what their background story is. Or how much time they have left in this world. I have to admit that the second half of the film could have been planned better, in my opinion, but in the end – it is a story worth seeing. Hope you’ll reflect on it as much as I have.

I am not your white cane. “Sunshine of My Life” (Yat louh tuhng hahng, 2022)

If you don’t consider yourself an overly sensitive person who cries watching films, perhaps this one will change your mind. Personally, I’m a crybaby. Whenever I find a truly moving drama, there’s a waterfall on my cheeks. And as you might be guessing, it was similar in this case. I had a chance to see “Sunshine of My Life” during an Asian film festival last year and it’s one of the most memorable productions of the programme I can think of. It’s about a married couple, Hung and Keung (Kara Wai & Hugo Ng), who’ve just had their first baby girl, Yan. We get to follow them in their everyday life, see how Yan is growing up and how they function as a family of three. Nothing unusual, you may think. Well, the thing is both parents are blind. Despite their disability, they do their best to raise Yan, who, luckily, is able to see well. However, when the girl was just a baby, she had an accident that could have been avoided if only her mother hadn’t been blind. Since that moment, Hung cannot forgive herself for putting little Yan in danger and she becomes overly protective. When Yan (Karena Ng) is a teenager, she starts noticing how much time she dedicates to helping her parents instead of living the way her peers do. She would like to attend parties, date boys and create her own future, but she also feels obliged to be there for her family. This story is definitely not an easy one. It presents a perspective of a child who, from the very beginning, had to support their parents more than the other way round. Yan had to see for three people and always think of others more often than of her own self. The question is: what should she do in her position? What would you do in her position? Support loving parents or have a chance to live your own life? Should Yan be angry with her parents for bringing her to this world knowing she would be their life-long support? Or should her parents accept that she has the right to experience life despite their family situation? I’m incredibly touched by this film, perhaps even more knowing it was based on the director’s real story. She was raised by two blind parents and this production may help us imagine what it is like to be such child. A child with a life responsibility and a constant dilemma. What I love the most about this film is that we may see the perspective of Yan, but also of her parents, especially her mother. Being a blind parent, according to this story, seems to be a more difficult job than we can imagine. It’s not only about the inability to take care of your child in numerous situations, but also this never-ending guilt for treating your own child as a personal assistant in things, which children shouldn’t be bothered with. As I said, it’s not an easy story, not an easy topic, but I can definitely recommend you to see this production as it gives a lot of food for thought. And causes waterfalls on your cheeks.

Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game. “A Cinderella Story” (2004)

SashLeave a comment

I’m sure that a lot of you recognise Jennifer Coolidge thanks to her role in “The White Lotus” series, but I’d like to tell you about the film in which I saw her for the first time and knew right away that she’s a true diva of the acting world. Today’s comedy is a modern (well… for some of you not that modern anymore) adaptation of the Cinderella tale. Sam (Hilary Duff), our film Cinderella, is a little girl being raised by her dad Hal (Whip Hubley) who owns a diner. One day, he gets married to Fiona (Jennifer Coolidge), a horribly vain woman with two spoilt daughters. When Hal dies in an accident, Sam has to stay with her stepmother and stepsisters, who treat the girl like a servant. She doesn’t fight with the three house witches as she hopes to get accepted to Princeton and then get money for studying from Fiona, which is actually Hal’s money, just being frivolously managed by the widow. But hey, where’s the prince, right? We need a prince! And then, Chad Michael Murray appears. If you were already on this planet in the 90s and didn’t have a crush on him, you must be a very straight man, there’s no other option. So if you ask me – perfect choice. Anyway, Austin, because that’s the name of the “prince”, is a sport star at Sam’s high school. Even though those two don’t really hang out together, they seem to know each other better than expected. It’s because they’ve been chatting anonymously and seems like it’s not just some friendly chatting anymore. So, the time has come and Austin proposes a meeting in real, which totally terrifies Sam, even though she doesn’t even know that her charming penpal is Austin. Soon, they are about to have a Halloween party at their school and it’s just a perfect moment for those two to meet. But if you know the tale of Cinderella, you already know it’s not going to be that easy. I have to say that this film is my absolute guilty pleasure that I love getting back to as it reminds me of my teenage times and hopeless dreams of randomly bumping into Chad Michael Murray somewhere. Haven’t happened, but the hope is not dead yet, my dear. Seriously speaking, it really is a fun comedy with a great cast (Regina King as Rhonda – mamma mia, brilliant! I wish I had such fairy godmother), legendary lines (“I’m a very appealing person!”), mocking elites (water, honey, water), praising hardworking individuals and giving those positive vibes that everything has a happy ending. Plus, I truly believe it’s a very good idea for an adaptation; this whole chatting between Sam and Austin, the diner staff as Sam’s supporters, her reason for staying with the stepmother – all that made sense and was quite attractive for us back then in 2004. This film is iconic. It’s not a masterpiece that needs to be analysed by film critics so they can write overly poetic reviews. But it is iconic. And it will stay iconic. So feel free to watch it and admire Fiona’s $150 manicure.

You’ll eat less than you desire and more than you deserve. “The Menu” (2022)

Third film this year and for the third time I’m taking you to some island. I feel like we’ll soon create our own cinematographic archipelago. Anyway, totally by accident, I’d like to take you for another trip to an island where a very famous chef Julian Slowik (Ralph Fiennes) owns a prestigious restaurant. He’s about to organise a dinner and a lot of fancy people are attending it. One of them is Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) who’s going there just because her date Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) paid for everything. Soon we find out that he was going to take some other woman, so Margot presence is a surprise to everyone on the island. All the guests get a tour and may see how the life of the restaurant staff is organised. Later, they all join the dinner, which is an absolute event indeed. Slowik is a true visionary, passionate about his profession and willing to surprise his guests at all costs. All costs. From the very beginning we may see that Margot is not supposed to be there and she seems to be the only one who feels there’s something wrong going on, while everyone else is blindly amazed by the spectacle of the chef. At the end of 2022 I shared on Instagram my top favourite films of that year, but back then I hadn’t seen “The Menu”. Now I can update you by saying that it could definitely be in my top 3. I think it was the only film of 2022 that intrigued me that much. I simply couldn’t look away and honestly wondered what may happen next. Not only was it an exciting experience, but also a very fresh one. You know how some filmmakers try to think outside the box, be rebellious and create something that’s totally different from structures we know. Unfortunately, if you don’t follow certain rules of making a film, it’s easy to end up with a story that disappoints or simply bores your audience. Such filmmakers focus on their own vision so much that they forget about people who will be watching their work. And let’s face it – cinema is for others. You must respect your audience. “The Menu” seems to be very well-balanced, in my opinion. It gives you some cinematographic stability, you sort of feel prepared for the story to continue, and then it shocks you with quite surrealistic pictures. Plus, it’s also a black comedy, so you may expect numerous lines that can make you laugh, but you also have to be quite attentive, because most of them are somehow hidden. Not to mention marvellous Ralph Fiennes who never disappoints as an actor. Fun fact – Emma Stone was supposed to play the role of Margot in the first place. As much as I adore her as an actress, I’m glad it was Anya in the end, as I feel she brought more mystery and some enigmatic female power – difficult to describe it, but I hope you felt that too, so you know what I mean. Or you’ll feel it too if you haven’t seen the film. For sure I’d recommend it and I honestly hope filmmakers will be going this way more often. Balance, baby, balance. Clap!
