This is the thirty-second film I saw at the 19th Busan International Film Festival. And rather surprisingly to me, this American production emerged as the best film I saw in the entire film fest, by far. This it achieved by having a story that is as simple as it gets, but presents us with two […]
This is the thirty-first film I saw at the 19th Busan International Film Festival. As mentioned in earlier posts, Ive been rather delayed with writing reviews for the last few films I caught at BIFF. With this film though, I literally didnt remember a single thing about it when I looked at the...
This is the thirtieth film I saw at the 19th Busan International Film Festival. Im doing a disservice with this review, given that Im writing it a couple of months after I saw the film. Im looking at my scribbled notes but I dont fully remember much of the film. Not necessarily...

Without subtitles. In...
This is the twenty-seventh film I saw at the 19th Busan International Film Festival. Tahar Rahim, one of the most watchable actors from France, was the reason I decided to catch the film (even before I read the synopsis). Hes played various characters in France, and then a Celtic tribal leader in The...
This is the twenty-sixth film I saw at the 19th Busan International Film Festival. Its based on a true story, though I havent been able to find the Wikipedia article about said true story, which I really wanted to because parts of the story strained credibility. Which makes it really...
This is the twenty-fifth film I saw at the 19th Busan International Film Festival. Gosh, I really regretted picking this film. I didnt remember why I picked it when the movie started as I had forgotten the synopsis, but soon I understood why: the film deals with a group of filmmakers who are finding...
