The Tale Of Princess Kaguya (2013) review
“Just like Kaguya-Hime is a gift from heaven, this movie is a gift from Takahata and Studio Ghibli. All what is left for us to do, is to accept and take this gift, cradled in own palms, to our friends and family and share this phenomenal masterpiece.”
House (1977) Review
“One of the most creative and figurative ghost narratives ever made, that also turns out to be one of the most pure and disturbing confrontations with the uncanny (…). A classic that will long linger in one’s mind.”
Blind Woman’s Curse (1970) review
“Pleasure (…) is to be extracted from the visuals (…) so beautifully framed by the cinematography, and from the way Meiko Kaji with her mesmerizing performance synthesizes the narrative’s mix of genres.”
Graveyard of Honour (2002) review
“A fabulous confrontation with the inherent dimension of the self-destructive pleasure, evoking the effects capitalism have on society as a whole along the way.”
Night of the Felines (1972) Review
“By exploring the problematic field conditioned by sexuality and money, the narrative earned its place as a true classic of the Roman Porno genre.”
