Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

English title: Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark

♥♥♥

While I'd really like to like this, I think it's pretty boring for the most part, or mediocrely entertaining. While I LOVE the character and the music(!) and for that reason occasionally feel like rewatching the trilogy, I don't think any of them are that great cinema.

Raiders: 3
Temple of Doom: 4
Last Crusade: 3

장화, 홍련 (2003)

English title: Janghwa, Hongryeon (A Tale of Two Sisters)

♥♥♥♥♥

Very beautiful audiovisually, and very creepy. The psychological - what you see might not be happening - which became more evident gradually, subtracted slightly from my experience, even though the realisation itself was powerful.

A positive surprise of intelligent script, charming atmospheres and music coupled with a good story. One of my favourites of Miyazaki's films. Love it! (Japanese edition)

♥♥♥♥

It wasn't exactly a movie I felt particularly drawn into in the traditional, comfortable way, but anyhow I was fascinated by the seemingly realistic  integrity and totality of the fascinating story, world, actions and music. It felt like an authentic experience of their philosophy and life style.

功夫 (2004)

English title: Kung Fu Hustle

♥♥♥♥

Holds a special place in my heart even though it's definitely not perfect.

The fighting aesthetics of the likes of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "House of Flying Daggers" combined with humor - though comparatively arguably less overall beauty in terms of color/photography - turns out a mighty fine result. Fascinating music.

MEMORIES (1995)

English title: Memories

♥♥♥♥

A great trilogy overall - the varied, unique soundtracks in particular blew me away.

Animé 1: Rating 4; haunting, isolation, space.

Animé 2: Rating 3; mainly for the soundtrack. I think I saw this one a bit like a music video.

Animé 3: Rating 5; long and demanding, but hardcore, technical, pointlessness, 1984-ish, depressing.
