CINEMA. Films and documentaries that made a real impression. Not plot summaries, not ratings: composition, colour, art direction, the way a scene is staged, what the music does before you've noticed it's there. Written by someone who has spent years working with image and watches accordingly.

My second Cinema essay is about a film from 2010 that has stayed with me ever since. Incendies, by Denis Villeneuve. The cinematography by André Turpin. A Radiohead opening sequence that gave me shivers. And a bus scene I haven't been able to forget in fifteen years. Read the full piece here: SUBSTACK

Every time someone mentions they like Christopher Nolan's movies, I often ask if they also enjoy Denis Villeneuve's works. And I'm always surprised—no judgment whatsoever—that his name isn't met with the same enthusiasm or familiarity.

Denis is just as capable of creating thrilling, thought-provoking blockbusters. I would argue that he's even way more consistent. There's also an arthouse sensibility at the heart of his films that's so intriguing. Everything I've seen him do: all big swings, nothing but hits. These six are particularly incredible. I can't recommend them enough!
