There are nostalgic scenes, inspiring scenes, impenetrable scenes, and even scenes that evoke the cinematic styles of Bergman and Antonioni.

The boys are alone against an onslaught of enemy forces and, one by one, they cruelly learn that war is not what they nurtured in their fantasies.

In fact, this is one of the few masterpieces able to offer me a cinematic experience almost as riveting as a waking dream.

Wes Anderson's steady hand in the direction and playful pathos prevents this movie from falling into mediocre territory.

So far, this is my favorite Wes Anderson movie, it's the only one that graces me with a cinematic experience that comes remotely close to transfigure into a waking dream.

They're sweet movies in an unreal way, but although it's artificially crafted sweetness, it feels natural and organic.

The Russian film is more ambitious as it puts a question mark on our whole perception of reality and human knowledge, but Blade Runner is more accomplished as a proper Sci-Fi movie and a more entertaining cinematic experience.

The heritage of A Brighter Summer Day inherited by Yi Yi is easily recognizable in the plot, style, the way that thematics are developed and even in the brilliant moments of cinematic introspection, but this doesn't decrease Yi Yi's value in my eyes because both films have very different qualitie...

What's most impressive for me is the effortless way how this film immerses me in the cinematic experience despite being so unconventional.

I also lament the less than perfect condition of the film's analog source when it was converted to digital format, a bit more visual integrity and Double Indemnity would be an immaculate cinematic experience for me.
