Director's Style
In here, you can find articles I wrote about the style of various of my favourite directors (up until now I have only written about Damien Chazelle):
Wildlife - The Disintegration of a Family What is the symptom of the failure of a family? Is there a cause for this phenomenon that affects so many of us? What is the reason for the behavior of adults? What is the effect of this on the children? In Wildlife we are invited to witness the disintegration of a family in the early '60s from the point of view of the child of the family and what he has to go through in order to fend for himself in such a tense environment. This is a beautiful coming-of-age story like none other I have seen before, and it's dealt with such sensitivity by first-time-director Paul Dano, in one of the most impressive debut features of the past few years. With stunning, softly lit cinematography that both reflects so well the time period and makes the film feel modern and up-to-date and an incredible score, this is definitely a fascinating and intriguing masterpiece with some of the most interesting characters ever written. This is a reflection on ...
On Expectations The first time I started questioning my sexuality was when I was 13. I remember that my best friend had found a porn channel in the TV box set of his grandfather. I remember the rush of adrenaline rushing through my bloodstream for doing something as transgressive and exciting.

I remember when I was about 6 years old, playing with a Harry Potter figure and an Action Man figure and making them kiss each other. I also remember the picture of...
Why Frances Halladay is one of the most relatable film characters ever written (and maybe one of the most inspiring) Frances Halladay is a 27-year-old woman living in New York. She was born in Sacramento, California, and she moved to NYC in the hopes of starting an artistic career as a dancer. She is light-hearted, funny and quirky. She is herself, yet, strangely, she is also all of us. Life seems to be putting her on the ropes, as everything bad that could happen to her always happens, from being "fired" from the Christmas show she was supposed to do to tripping as she is running to get some cash to pay for dinner with the cool boy she met. Not only that, but everyone else, including her best friend Sophie, seems to be getting on with their lives. Life really doesn't seem to be her thing, but is it really the thing for anyone? "I'm tired", she says, "I am always so tired" - and we can't help but connect with her when she utters those wor...
