La délicatesse/Delicacy

Audrey Tautou 11:31:00
Losing someone you love is a difficult experience. To forget, you build a shelter, you surround yourself with sedatives, bury yourself in work or get stuck in the memories which only give you pain and don't allow you to let go. But life goes on and you have to deal with it. You won't find the same relationship with someone you cared about...

Imagine Me & You

homosexuality 11:28:00
It seems that you have your life already planned, all the last buttons buttoned up, your life path simple and predictable. And then the fate plays with you - the mighty plan maker - and you are left with nothing... or endless possibilities and new experiences. At times it can concern your love life. Possibly you previously got married or you are in...

Perfect Sense

epidemic 02:06:00
Can you imagine your day without the taste of your favorite coffee? Can you picture your life without smelling your beloved ones lying next to you in your bed? (If they stink that's a completely different matter) Can you do away with the sound of your music? Can you finally imagine losing all the pictures that surround you, forgetting the faces of your...

Have you ever been in a mood when you wanted to catch up with all your college friends and check what life had for them to offer? How some relationships failed, some grew strong, some friends moved to Paris, London, and Amsterdam, and some still live the same life they lived when you got to know them. Ponder over how their vocational life...

The Swedish Theory of Love

Africa 08:56:00
Individualism and financial security are goals that a lot of countries strive for. But is the comfort of a well-off life and shedding the burden of taking care of older parents a road to happiness? Is there a line between women's independence and a complete uselessness of men in everyday life and forming a family? Is it better to have a comfortable life...

The Dressmaker

Australia 00:45:00
Returning home after years of exile rarely comes up to expectations. Everything left behind stayed the same: the same houses are now decades older, the same are people but covered with more wrinkles and prejudices. It's hard to fit in and win back your position and respect. But a particular skill of a new-comer can turn the vile and paved ways of residents...

Interview with the Vampire

Brad Pitt 04:30:00
Immortality. A desire which even the richest fail to achieve. All the beauty products, all the diets in the world can't stop the process of aging. What is unavailable for a human, might be accessible for another kind of living things. One bite can prolong your life endlessly. One bite can bring you richness and power. It can make you a witness of...

The Lobster

Ben Whishaw 08:52:00
Finding the right partner is hard. Matching characters and mutual interests are not always the basis for a love-affair. There are a lot of minute differences and variables which make forming a lasting relationship almost an impossibility, even if we pretend that we have something in common. But what if being single was subjected to punishment? What if the ideology of a couple...

The Model

Denmark 04:55:00
The majority of us are in various shapes and sizes. There's really no need to try to fit in your friends' clothes, as there are many body types and their type might not be your type at all. Modeling and fashion dominated our lives to the extent that finding another top model occupies TV entertainment, fitting into size 0 interchanges with being accepted...

Mustang

abuse 04:02:00
When five sisters live in a Turkish house under the supervision of a conservative grandmother and an abusive uncle, the process of growing-up might be problematic. Having in mind Coppola's Virgin Suicides, we are yet again able to see how limitation and imprisonment can influence the lives of young women. Sisterhood is a bond which is difficult to be broken. Growing up in...

Interstellar

alternative worlds 02:08:00
It seems that we have got used to resources such as air, water, and food. Living in a developed world, we cannot really imagine having no electricity, clean water, and at least one meal a day. You don't have to look far away to find places in need of humanitarian help. But if the Earth was doomed to hunger and annihilation, if the...

La Belle & la bête/ Beauty and the Beast

fairy tales 03:09:00
I remember the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast. As a kid, I owned a blue hardcover book with beautiful pictures of animated characters and I used to paint all character's teeth yellow except for Bella's. Apparently, I assumed that yellow teeth couldn't be trusted and the same assumption was reached by the producers of toothpaste and teeth whiteners. Now we have...

Rich Kids of Instagram

children 03:42:00
Money runs the world. It's no news that people can do a lot for money. The money can buy expensive bling, nice clothes, cars, and houses. Of course, it cannot buy you love, but a form of admiration and following can be achieved by flaunting the insides of your pockets. For some, the label is a status symbol. It distinguishes you from the...

There are various powers in the world. There is the power of love, which can be subjected to manipulation, trails, and betrayals. There is the political power of making decisions and ruling a mighty kingdom, there is the power of loyalty and staying true to the given world, and finally, there is the power of motherhood and defending the ones we had the...

Elle l'adore/ Number One Fan

crime 01:06:00
Admiration. There are people who do something extraordinary. With their beauty, success, accomplishments, and talents they make themselves outstanding among the crowds of admirers. As Britney Spears was singing 'There's only two types of people in the world The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe (...)'. Stars entertain and the crowds follow. There are people who are far more loyal than...

The True Cost

business 23:14:00
We care about our image, don't we? Don't we follow the latest trends, with a passion of an addict watch fashion blogs and instead of visiting a museum, a library or enjoying a trip outside the city, we visit shopping centers? Clothes are fun. The same trainers change every year for a slightly different design, the same white T-shirt has right now a...

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
