Sous le Pavés la Plage

Yesterday, I watched Strange Darling (2023), and it was both deeply disturbing and strangely captivating. The film was visually stunning, with breathtaking cinematography (done by Giovanni Ribisi, the actor), but what truly drew me in was the haunting soundtrack, composed by Z Berg. Her voice is absolutely mesmerizing, and the sounds she creates are truly unique. My favorite track is probably Sous le Pavé, la Plage, which I've played on repeat several times.

The entire soundtrack has such an immersive quality, and I can't get enough of it.

Lovecraft. The film's strength lies in its vivid, almost hypnotic imagery, prioritizing a sensory experience over a straightforward narrative. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that this is not a conventional horror film but rather a deep dive into a psychedelic, otherworldly nightmare.

Perfect Days

Svjesno nisam tražio nikakve informacije o ovome filmu, nego sam samo ležerno predložio Amri da ga pogledamo nakon dugo vremena. Perfect Days je režirao Wim Wenders, njemački režiser koji je također režirao naslove kao što su Der Himmel über Berlin (1987), Paris, Texas (1984) i Buena Vista Social Club (1999).
