- DirectorJulia DucournauStarsVincent LindonAgathe RousselleGarance MarillierFollowing a series of unexplained crimes, a father is reunited with the son who has been missing for ten years.if this movie is an analogy to something, i missed the point - but it is so grotesque i kinda admire it
- DirectorRamón SalazarStarsBárbara LennieSusi SánchezGreta FernándezWealthy Anabel, 65, receives an unexpected visit from Chiara, the daughter she abandoned 30 years ago. Chiara has a request: that they spend 10 days together. Anabel goes out of guilt, but there are conditions of which she is unaware.i'm literally writing my psychology thesis on this movie and i don't really get it
- DirectorWes AndersonStarsGeorge ClooneyMeryl StreepBill MurrayAn urbane fox cannot resist returning to his farm raiding ways and then must help his community survive the farmers' retaliation.i know this movie is an outlier to this list, considering it is really famous and palatable, but i'm sure it is an allegory to something, i just didn't over analyze it
- DirectorPark Chan-wookStarsPark Hae-ilTang WeiLee Jung-hyunA detective investigating a man's death in the mountains meets the dead man's mysterious wife in the course of his dogged sleuthing.it's something about relationships and fleeting bonds and abandonment for one person and not being able to commit for the other person - something like that
- DirectorLee Chang-dongStarsYoo Ah-inSteven YeunJeon Jong-seoJong-su bumps into a girl who used to live in the same neighborhood, who asks him to look after her cat while she's on a trip to Africa. When back, she introduces Ben, a mysterious guy she met there, who confesses his secret hobby.about envy i guess
- DirectorNa Hong-jinStarsJun KunimuraHwang Jung-minKwak Do-wonSoon after a stranger arrives in a little village, a mysterious sickness starts spreading. A policeman, drawn into the incident, is forced to solve the mystery in order to save his daughter.i hated it because i didn't get it and felt frustrated - might need to give it another go
- DirectorDavid LoweryStarsDev PatelAlicia VikanderJoel EdgertonA fantasy retelling of the medieval story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.i guess it was trying to deconstruct the hero myth, but it was kinda dumb and predictable (to get a better perspective on the story you have to read the original myth it is "depicting")
- DirectorMartin McDonaghStarsColin FarrellBrendan GleesonKerry CondonTwo lifelong friends find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, with alarming consequences for both of them.i guess they are friends after all?
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsTom CruiseJason RobardsJulianne MooreAn epic mosaic of interrelated characters in search of love, forgiveness and meaning in the San Fernando Valley.at one point i think i figure out this movie - but then forgot what was it that i figured out (but i loved it)
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsJoaquin PhoenixJosh BrolinOwen WilsonIn 1970, drug-fueled Los Angeles private investigator Larry "Doc" Sportello investigates the disappearance of a former girlfriend.this one just feels nonsensical
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsAlana HaimCooper HoffmanSean PennThe story of Alana Kane and Gary Valentine growing up, running around and going through the treacherous navigation of first love in the San Fernando Valley, 1973.and another one by PTA... again not understanding it, i think i'm noticing a pattern
- DirectorAlejandro G. IñárrituStarsEmilio EchevarríaGael García BernalGoya ToledoAn amateur dog fighter, a supermodel, and a derelict assassin, all separately struggling to find love, find their lives transformed by a devastating car wreck in Mexico City.this was pure torture to sit through and i got nothing out of it - if there was a bigger purpose to all the stories told in this movie, it did a terrible job of showing it
- DirectorJonathan GlazerStarsScarlett JohanssonJeremy McWilliamsLynsey Taylor MackayA mysterious young woman seduces lonely men in the evening hours in Scotland. However, events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery.very complex and surreal - the main theme is idendity, but i couldn't put my finger on every metaphor but i guess that's the idea: there is something dreamy/nightmarish about it that simply eludes us all, just like our own identities
