MR NOBODY (2009) DIR. BY JACO VAN DORMAEL
A VERY CONFUSING LOOP OF LIVES OF THE OLDEST LIVING PERSON ON EARTH SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY IN THE FUTURE. IT DOES HINT OF A BUTTERFLY EFFECT (2004) BUT WITH A GONDRIAN (A.K.A. FILMS BY MICHEL GONDRY) POETIC LINES. ESSENTIALLY, AN OLD MAN LOOKING BACK AT HIS LIFE AND HELPS US TO PREVENT MAKING MISTAKES THAT HE DID. AMAZING CINEMATOGRAPHY AND PRODUCTION DESIGN ABOVE ALL.

ROMEO + JULIET (1996) DIRECT. BY BAZ LURHMANN
BAZ LURHMANN’S SENSATIONAL HIT OF ADAPTING SHAKESPEARE’S MOST FAMOUS PLAY. MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE SCENE IS WHEN ROMEO WITH MERCUTIO AND FRIENDS ARRIVE AT THE PARTY (YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE BY CANDI STATON IS PLAYED).
