L'enfance nue
I love films about childhood, but this one struck me particularly hard due to some uncomfortable parallels with my own childhood. Despite Francois' obviously troubled and delinquent nature, and the fact that he did some downright disgusting things, there was a certain warmth and humanity to him that made the film come off as extremely sincere.Favorite Films

Norwegian Wood
I went into this film with a great deal of excitement. At first glance, it had a lot going for it: I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen from Tran Anh Hung thus far; Mark Lee Pin-Bing’s cinematography is never… read review
Wings of Desire
I think this film was at its best when the angels meandered about Berlin listening to the thoughts and desires of its people and acquainting the viewer with its sights. It was almost like a fictional… read review
Cyclo
Cyclo is a gritty, yet very human, poetic, and often strikingly beautiful picture of urban squalor and violence. The only things preventing it from being near-perfect are the not-so-subtle, out-of… read review
Mr. Thank You
Gosh! This was my first Shimizu film, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I went in thinking it would just be a mild, fun diversion to watch after something heavier, which is actually the reason I picked… read review
