“It leaves us curious about our own identities, it leaves us with questions (instead of comfortable solutions)...”


Emile is a film written and directed by Carl Bessai, a filmmaker that is constantly driven to tackle a theme that affects us all, but is not nearly explored enough: identity. Emile is the final part of a trilogy, which began with Johnny (following a teenage boy) and Lola (tagging along a woman in he...

“It took a flawed, frayed, flailing film to ring anew the bell that has always been cracked - to let the light shine in. ”

“In one word, the film is "enchanting." Most certainly some magic dust was involved with this majestic production.”


I was in complete awe merely watching the teaser trailer for the new PETER PAN film by director/co-screenwriter P.J. Hogan. Never did I expect to walk out of the theatre with the same reaction. In one word, the film is "enchanting." Most certainly some magic dust was involved with this majestic ...
