A fantastic film from one of cinema's shortest lives. A beautiful, patient revelation of what happens to even the greatest among us, the fact that mediocrity and repetition and trite actions are always going to be the most common factor of our lives even when we have succeeded in areas not expected or not commonly expected.
Nippon konchuki (The Insect Woman)

For some reason, I just loved this film, less dynamic and more sensual than 'Pigs & Battleships', this film really is a structured discovery of man's modern ineptness and loss.

A literary sci-fi travel into the world of past and future, of satire antiquated and tongue bastard. I thought that this film, like many like this, even the comic V for Vendetta had a very pessimistic optimism or nihilism about their nation, about its plight and I found it interesting in seeing how the Britons thought of their nation being the way it is. The outlook seen here is so varied, it almost means that it is at a crossroads, a path to choose or a path to skip or a path stepped mistakenly. Wonderful scenes and wondrous acting might I add.
El Orfanato (The Orphanage)

Amazingly creepy. Has the ability to frighten you at key but normally unimportaant moments when you're watching. I was impressed by this film Del Tori's influence is stamped everywhere and Erice's scent can be detected too. The shots were extremely meticulously designed, extremely unbelievable at points but worked beautifully. One of my favourite films now and I'm sure for all time.
