A gay drama that combines fantasy with reality. It would be obvious that a man reuniting with his deceased parents in his timeline would be a fantasy. It can also leave us […]
All of Us Strangers
Poor Things
A visionary and comical wonder from Yorgos Lanthimos. Some people would like to consider the visual style “Poor Things” in the tradition of Tim Burton. They’re probably right, but I was also […]
