Irreversible (2002) Movie Review. Thriller/Crime

Irréversible

There are filmmakers whose work is very hard to observe and learn from. Garpar Neo is definitely in my opinion is one of them. Very unconventional from other directors, Gaspar likes to play with the light and colors. I've watched his film Climax before and after watching Irreversible, I can say that his films are a visual treat.

The movie irreversible has great camera work, and the color grading is just top-notch. Although the storyline is quite simple but how the director presented the film from Climax to the beginning is just marvelous. The performance of Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel is just a treat for the eyes. I wonder sometimes only if people would have noticed Monica Bellucci's acting skills other than something else, she would have gotten many more critically acclaimed roles in her filmography.

Although, in the film some of the visuals are disturbing but then if you are seeing Gaspar Neo films then you have come a long way to get disgusted by anything at all, just kidding.

This movie is going to stay for a while with me. For those who like Neo-noir vibes in films, this film is for you.

Brace yourself and give it a watch. Irreversible is just like Pulp Fiction but better, lol.

My rating for the film would be 4.5/5

Happy watching.

Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975) Movie Review and Why It's an Important Film.

Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975) Pier Paolo Pasolini is the man who made one of the most beautifully disturbing films of all time. Now there are so many people who would easily skip this film considering its premises and theme and visuals but that's what makes this film a remarkable piece of art. Now as influential as Pasolini is, his last film Salò made some noises, made some things move, and became one of the most controversial films ever made. Based on the book The 120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade And loosely inspired by the real events of the Republic of Salò in Northern Italy towards the time of the end of the Second World War. In the film, we see about the end of World War 2 a bunch of extremely wealthy and powerful fascist men with some retired prostitutes and soldiers capture 18 boys and girls on a ratio of 1:1. They take those underaged boys to a private palace, where they torture them, physical, mentally and sexually. The rul...

Mrs. Undercover (2023) Movie Review and Disappointments

Mrs. Undercover I cannot imagine Radhika Apte doing a movie like this in 2023, especially after doing movie like Monica, O My Darling. As much as I love Radhika Apte with all my heart and soul, I just feel sad seeing her this way. This movie is just dumb, simply dumb. One only could imagine what a good comedy or even a dark comedy this film could have been but then, giving a speech about women's empowerment every two minutes didn't work for me. There are ways to tell a story, you can show through visuals or you can spoon-feed your audience. And this film spoon-feeds its audience irritatingly. The story, the characters, the protagonist, the antagonist, and even the characters of special agents feel so dumb and immature at times that I thought I'd have done better work. I mean come on Sumeet Vyas as a psychopath misogynistic serial killer is such a fascinating concept and Radhika Apte playing an Ex Undercover agent and now a full-time housew...

Shazam! Fury of the Gods 2023 Movie Review, Regrets & Suggestions

Shazam! Fury of the Gods Life is very beautiful yet complicated. We all do some deeds, sometimes we are very much satisfied with what we do and sometimes there are regrets what's left. And it is very sad to live with regrets. After watching Shazam! Fury of the Gods, I really, really regret not seeing this film in theatres. A genuinely enjoyable Superhero film. Now I am not saying that it was perfect and the greatest creation of mankind, it's not. There are some flaws and some setbacks but it was a good film, and by seeing the box office numbers it did not deserve to be a flop. Shazam! Fury of the Gods has everything that a Harry Potter film has and more. The story is very different and unique, to me pretty risky too considering the villains don't exist in the comics. There are dragons and minotaurs and cyclopses and unicorns too. In my opinion, the predecessor to this film had a better story arc, very grounded and comforting. This story...
