Kairo (2001)
Started watching because I wanted to get spookied...
...left with an existential crisis.
This movie seems to predict the era of loneliness when communicating has never been as easy. It deals with themes of relationships, depression and suicide.
It does, however, in a painfully slow way. So if you're looking for lots of action and ghosts all around, this is definitely not the movie you're looking for.
Nevesta (2017)
Beautifully shot cliche-full story
We've been knew to the story. You'll probably predict most of it. Yet, it is very well shot. Dialogue seems kind of dull at times, but it is interesting they leave up some elements to interpretation. Don't put it on the top of your priority list, but it will most likely entertain you if you give it a try.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
A story about fear, guilt, sorrow and, most importantly, family
Having finished the series not a minute ago, I was compelled to write a review, even though I'm not used to in my 10 years in this site. What was, at first, a desire to "jumpscares" and horror "vibes" in this Halloween season, became an incredible surprise of elements way more important and deep than any of that. For the horror, you see, is not in any grotesque image that may appear on screen; it lies in the ties and knots among family and those close to us. It lies in the secrets we keep and must be kept.
The Haunting of Hill House has a subtle plot line, a set of interesting and curious characters and an involving storytelling. All I have to warn - you'll probably binge on it.
Suite Française (2014)
Predictable, but enjoyable
Reading the synopsis already gives the directions to the movie; not much of a surprise to me, to be fairly honest. The disposition of characters and their personalities are very well known in romantic fiction.
However, it is still a intriguing and beautiful movie. You can enjoy the marvelous landscapes of France and Belgium countrysides. Though predictable, the dynamic of the main couple is delicate and makes you cheer for them. It also shows the civilian point of view of war, far from the battle camps, but still a painfully one.
This movie gave me exactly what I wanted and expected. A forbidden and almost cheesy romance that's not your usual WWII movie.
Kedi (2016)
This is everything a cat lover needs
This documentary is beautiful, funny and magical. I'm a strong candidate for "crazy cat lady" to be honest, because I simply love cats and this film gives the exact reasons why I do so passionately. The shots of Istanbul are over the top gorgeous and we get to know different sets and POVs of the city. As another viewer already said, if you don't like cats, you probably will miss most of the enchantment of this piece since, well, it's all about them. But you kind of like cats, you'll most likely start to see them differently or at least learn another perspective. And at last, if you do love them - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
