Hi there... I had never been into films before. I didn't really go to cinema often. In my early teens I rent a VHS tape every week, but those were mostly silly commercial, not even well-known movies. I saw my first serious films around the millennium, while I was waiting for porn (for younger people: before the Internet, some cable channels switched to adult programs after 23:00 in Eastern Europe). It was around 2010, when I first watched deliberately several art films, because I was bored and Metacritic said those were good ones. Well, not for my taste back then.
Anyway, eventually by 2014 because of movie references I encountered in various shows, such as Family Guy, I started to feel the need to learn about them and quickly assembled a list of the best movies based on "best of" lists. First it was about 30 movies and I got to like the idea of watching movies, so I continued with the same method and started to blog about them in 2015.
By 2018 I saw over 500 films, but I realised that most of them were from the Western civilization, dominantly from the USA, and that bothered me. So starting from 2018 I tried to balance out this inequality and began to watch intensively African, Arabic, Asian and Latin movies. In the same year I also realised that instead of cringing at the past, I should focus on films which are closer to me both in time and space.
Long story short, while this blog is new, I've been doing this for 5 years and seen over a thousand films from Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Columbia Mauritania to Niger. I'm not good at writing, I'm not pro at films, but I think I have considerable experience. You'll see here movies from all across the time and space. My reviews are not critical works, just personal reviews, but I will try to understand films both contentwise and how they express that visually.
