I rarely see a film twice. Yet The Secret Agent demanded a second encounter. Not for its plot, but for what survives it: history, betrayal, sound, bodies, and a city that refuses to remain in the past.

"The Oscars may be poised to hand Best Picture to Sinners — the safe, consensus pick with broad support across the Academy. But the film that truly deserves the honor is Frankenstein. Bold, visually daring, and director-driven, Frankenstein reclaims cinema as an art form. While Sinners will be remembered as a solid winner, Frankenstein is the film that will endure — a reminder of why we fell in love with movies in the first place."

A true story can make the absurd feel inevitable. In Roofman, crime is not framed as genius but as the consequence of institutional blindness—where systems obsessed with digital threats fail to notice what is happening directly above their heads. Derek Cianfrance’s restrained direction and Channing Tatum’s understated performance transform a bizarre real-life case into a quiet study of invisibility, control, and the dangerous unpredictability of love.
