Cookie, a talented cook who works for a group of fur trappers meets King-Lu, a Chinese immigrant, and together they carry out a daring and dangerous business.

First Cow is one of those movies that divide audiences, with no room for middle ground: those who don't like it want it to end as soon as possible, if they don't give up halfway through, and those who like it don't mind if it lasts for another 2 hours. I'm for the second btw.

It's not perfect, it's not made of a set of layers that throughout the narrative expose complex motifs that shake the story, but it's more than capable to transmite tranquility, emotion and above all a sense of resilience and unity.

First Cow's best moment is the last arc, no doubt for me. The final scenes hits us well, really really well.

I'm a sucker for this aspect ratio (1.66:1), with great compositions and color scheme, like a painting in motion.

Las Vegas is infested with zombies, and just days before being bombed, a team of mercenaries attempt the biggest coup ever, before hundreds of millions of dollars are reduced to ashes.

Zack Snyder's return to the style he's used to, and that made him the Golden Boy of the genre for a while, but as with sports in some cases, sometimes it's not good to come home, and hanging up your shoes is the right decision.

In Army of the Dead, Snyder, who wrote, directed and produced (calm down boy) tries to achieve too much, creating a mix of various genres that needed someone who wasn't so daring to work on screen.

The annoying and illogical moments outweigh the amusing scenes, and even with a runtime of 2 hours and 30 minutes there is no character development whatsoever, which leads us to not empathize with them, and support in certain cases their death on the screen.

If you're looking for some fun time, with badass guys and girls, maybe it's good for you, or not, I really don't know..

After discovering that he's adopted, Yuddy sets off in search of his real mother. In between, he's disputed by two women, Su Lizhen and Mimi.

Made with a darker tone and mood, and with a less plastic and eccentric aesthetic that characterizes the director, Days of Being Wild is a tragic story about emotions and the endless search for the meaning of our existence.

Alone, even surrounded by people, the protagonist, Yuddy, is the center of a complex story where eroticism and the raw and honest feeling get mixed up, with great contrasts between the characters, which are full of personal conflicts and lack of peace. It's a great character study, especially for the path that it takes when comes to explore the sexual issue, with no use of explicit or provocative scenes, using only suggestion and dialogues as catalysts for action.

The score plays an important role, much more than the photography (slower movements and "noisier" scenery), which is good, but nowhere near my favorite in Wong Kar-Wai's filmography.

For many it's Kar-Wai masterpiece, for me, it's an important film , which completes the almost immaculate circle of Kar-Wai filmography.
