★★★★ Watched 21 Apr 2025

Ugh I love a beautiful period drama, the actors, the costumes and aristocratic settings. *Italian chef kiss*

I was just disappointed Concetta never lectured that ass Tancredi. 

The final waltz scene is etched in my mind. Beautiful presentation of the old and new.

2006

★★★½ Rewatched 21 Apr 2025

Ok this has a pretty cool plot. So good to see Nolan’s earlier works. 

So many plot twists I kinda got tired of it. But I understand the point was to get us to feel like the characters themselves, not knowing whether the next move is a magical trick or the truth.

★★★★★ Watched 07 Apr 2024

“ I can’t be consort to a man without swords” 

Watched for Hiroyuki Sanada, stayed for the girls. 

Love the chess game politics and translation plot line.

1961

★★★½ Watched 20 Apr 2023

“Tell me, who do you depend on?”
“The next best thing”

A lost girl who throws herself in a company of misfits ie.men who ‘care’ for her but also does nothing to help her when she gives her whole heart for them. 

Marilyn is the epitome of the beautiful sad girl trope here.
