2025-10-05 | Nosferatu | 2024 | 4/5 | Orlok is back, with a mustache, same story of the original from 1922 but more didascalic and less visual; the theme of sacrifice and of the doomed monster well explained. Yet, you shan't easily such an evil vampire. Interestingly the movie almost feels in black-and-white even if it is in color. Probably to honor the original. |
2025-10-08 | Metropolis | 1927 | 5/5 | At its core a revenge story, but with themes of propaganda, mass control and class warfare. Excellent even after a century. |
2025-10-10 | Le mille e una notte - Aladino e Sherazade | 2012 | 5/5 | A brilliant retell of the classic. Instead of several disjoint stories the insane lord is healed by its own very personal story. Romantic fantasy with lovable but relatable characters. |
2025-10-15 | Mr Vampire | 1985 | 4/5 | Set in a alternate world with clear supernatural rules and creatures a jiangshi goes amok. With help, and hindrance, from his two disciples a toist priest saves the day. |
