 "Don’t approach Flow as you would a product intended solely for children; it’s among the things that have most affected me in recent years."

 "The actions and sounds of the characters are so realistic that you don’t miss the lack of dialogue at all."

Created mainly by Gints Zilbalodis using Blender, the film won an Oscar for Best Animated Film. Its realistic sounds and silent storytelling deliver a powerful emotional experience for both adults and children. The reviewer highly recommends Flow for its artistic merit and heartfelt narrative. Watch Flow to experience a moving and visually stunning journey beyond words!

 The Count Orlok is not just the monster... Eggers metaphorizes him as a feeling to be hidden and repressed.

 Great cinema is also made of gestures and seemingly insignificant hints. The camera movements, photography, and the close-ups on the eyes of evil are masterful.

Robert Eggers' fourth film, Nosferatu, is a faithful, yet innovative adaptation of Bram Stoker's work focusing on repression and desire. The movie excels through strong visuals, masterful camera work, and deep character exploration. Dafoe shines as Dr. Von Franz, while Skarsgård fully disappears into Count Orlok. Though some performances might feel solemn, they enhance the atmospheric tone. This retelling is a grim, richly layered horror experience deserving acclaim. Explore Robert Eggers' chilling Nosferatu and experience a fresh, haunting take on classic vampire lore.

 Defining the dialogues and acting within this film as surreal is an oxymoron, and unfortunately, diminutive.

 Unlike Kubrick’s masterpiece, here there is no air of mystery, except for that - which still doesn’t engage - of the phone ringing in the final scene.

Mario Bianchi’s 'Nightmare in Venice' attempts to adapt Arthur Schnitzler's work into an erotic film but largely misses the mark. The acting and dialogues are awkward and surreal, the plot is unengaging, and the film lacks the mystery and intrigue expected from the source material. While set in beautiful Venice, it fails to deliver depth and suspense. Recommended only for completists interested in Schnitzler adaptations. Explore the quirks of this underwhelming erotic thriller and decide if Mario Bianchi's Venice intrigues you.

 He is a confused man, but truly confused; torn between the courtship of young Patty and the nocturnal bewilderment that paints him in an almost bungling manner.

 The Knight, Death and the Devil is the work through which Beppe Cino takes greater liberties from Schnitzler’s novel.

Beppe Cino’s film 'The Knight, Death and the Devil' adapts Arthur Schnitzler’s 'Traumnovelle' with a modern, urban twist. The film explores psychological torment within a family torn between reality and nightmare. Notable for its symbolic reference to Dürer’s engraving, the movie emphasizes mood and imaginative storytelling over dialogue. It focuses on the protagonist’s confusion and moral doubts amplified by surreal elements. Dive into the haunting world of Beppe Cino’s film – watch The Knight, Death and the Devil to experience its enigmatic psychological drama.

 The dangerous congregation faced within the pages of Traumnovelle is not the core of the work.

 With savoir faire, we are shown an exit to cross never to return.

This review offers a thoughtful analysis of Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle, focusing on the themes of hidden desires, power dynamics, and the complexity of monogamous relationships within bourgeois society. It highlights the protagonist's journey through temptation and self-discovery, with references to the novel's intimate psychological portrayal and notable film adaptations like Eyes Wide Shut. The review cautions against focusing solely on the mystery, emphasizing relational dynamics instead. Discover the profound depths of desire and power in Schnitzler's Traumnovelle—read the book or watch its iconic adaptations today!

 The central theme of the album is disillusionment.

 La Crus do not pretend to be champions of the obvious, but they try in their way to equally strike the dissatisfaction of a working class.

La Crus successfully balances classic crooner styles with modern trip hop and synth-pop on 'Proteggimi da ciò che voglio.' The album explores disillusionment, existentialism, and social critique through poetic lyrics and collaborations with prominent Italian artists. While some guest appearances revisit earlier songs, overall it’s a timely and resonant comeback. Longtime fans will appreciate the melancholy and melodic reassurance throughout. Discover La Crus's poetic blend of classic and modern sounds—listen to 'Proteggimi da ciò che voglio' today!
