Glad it won in its Academy category (Shorts)
Shot movie (about 41 min) of Wes Anderson following the story of the protagonist and how and what he done with some achired powers.
It features several actors that are used to Wes Anderson works;
It is composed in long shots, with a very good editing quality with figurine and scenery typical of Wes Anderson, in the end of the 19th century and start of 20h, with all those saturated pastel tones, moving parts of scenery and little details that are a joy to his fans.
The story is also a very good and interesting parable, with no special effects all done with scenery illusions.
A score of 8,0 out of 10,0 to this one / A-.

Good japanese thriller about the afterlife, that happens about the time of Fukushima disaster. The rhythm of the story is slow.
It follows a woman that is a soul without accomplishing her objective at Earth (it can be in or out life).
Good characters, sensitive movie - maybe not fit for everyone. It have a Ghibli characteristics to it, without the cute characters.
Good photography, but do not expect FX effects to compensate the natural / supernatural interactions.
But in the end it lacks something to enhance it more - maybe more emotion on the scenes to bring tears to the eyes. My score: 6,5 / 10,0 / B-.

Coproduction between Japan and Germany, directed by the german director Wim Wenders (Texas Paris, Wings of Desire among others) and written by him and Takuma Takashi.
It won the Cannes Film Festival 2023 for Best Actor and Ecumenical Jury and it is nominated for Academy Best Foreign Movie (my favorite for this category).
It tells some days at the life of a public bathroom cleaner at Tokyo, interpreted by Koji Yakusho Hirayama, as Hirayama, his daily routine and 4 events in between his usual days. It also shows how some people treat those invisible workers even in a modern civilized country as Japan.
Hirayama have a simple, but happy life as he is and what his does with the maximum commitment - it is a marvelou movie about contemplation and what simple things and events can bring of happiness in the life, if you allow it.
The cinematography is by Franz Lustig (Anselm), and it is beautiful in using the available light and daily variations, mostly in shots with the protagonist.
With a slow minimalistic story focused on this philosophy and camera work also directed to the architecture of public bathrooms, it may not be a movie for everyone.
My score for it is 9,6 out of 10,0 / A+.
