Sarangeui bulsachak (2019)
Brilliance has landed on us:
The Korean "Crashing Landing on You" series is an all in one exhilarating romantic drama comedy that will make it difficult to ever recover from. It attains consistent levels of paroxysm of emotional intensity and drama that I have never seen in any film or series before that. The acting is impeccable all around, the 2 pairs of leads are marvellously matched and acting brilliantly, so we beyond pined for them.
It is a Kdrama so things are splendidly filmed paced and expressed differently from western world films output and boy! It pays to stick to it and if you do, you will find yourself transported to a very different universe to our own in the West. And the quality is outstanding.
This series is set on the absolute heartbreaking background of the divided Koreas. That territorial political and social division is the backbone of the subsequent emotional rollercoaster throughout. I could never have imagined that so much love and heartache could be so truthfully and convincingly emitted all along on screen.
The series conveys that there was an irrepressible harmony not only between the whole cast and formidable main leads. I also salute the immense gift of the direction/script team/and all concerned in its realisation. And let's not forget the singers and composers of the Original Sound Track (OST) whose music voices and lyrics will thankfully forever accompany us too (you can find the OST on Spotify for example). An OST intricately timed beyond perfection to the highly sensitivity in this art piece. Because this is art pure and simple. It is going to be extremely difficult to find and feel for something else to watch as brilliant as this masterpiece (or to be extremely difficult if not impossible even to remember to have watched and felt such quality filming output in my previous life before CLOY). After witnessing the sublime emotional depth in this drama I am extremely wishful that Korea must can and will unite. The sooner the better. All the best to "RiRi"and to everyone else involved in this masterpiece. Peace to all from London xxx.
T2 Trainspotting (2017)
It does not get any better with time
It was good enough but no masterpiece. Since the first movie was so extraordinary I guess it was nearly impossible to match it. It was nice though seeing some of the characters again but I felt there was no depth and at times the movie felt like a TV episode with no lasting soundtrack. I think it did succeed though to some extent to match the blandness of our times.
Garnet's Gold (2014)
One of the best documentary ever made.
The previous 6 reviews on this documentary are truly spot on. I cannot add anything else to these wonderful reviews except that I have seen this MASTERPIECE a few months ago and still cannot stop recommending it to all. In fact I will keep on recommending it forever. (Moreover it shows Scotland so beautiful therefore a tempting destination even when the weather is appalling like right now this summer). Man on Wire documentary was as excellent, what a gifted Documentary team. I hope they are going to give us some more jewels documentaries. The characters in this story are so endearing and so human. The soul searching and landscapes magnificent.
