Epic movie directed by Ridley Scott, that puts us right in the height of the Roman Empire in a story full of treachery, action, and blood. If you have ever seen it, rewatch now with a special eye for the grand soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer.
In simple terms, 'The Master: Every Man Needs a Guide' is one of the great Paul Thomas Anderson's best (which says a lot from someone who already has 'Magnolia', 'Boogie Nights: Pleasure Games' and 'Blood Oil' in his filmography). With phenomenal performances from a stellar cast led by Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams, it's a movie with enough depth to allow for multiple readings, from an existential portrait of post-war United States, to a parody of the birth of Scientology, or even a fable about the essential need to make sense of our own existence. It's dense, but without a doubt one of the greatest movies of our century.
Directed by Spike Jonze, 'Her' is the perfect science fiction movie for the digital age, in which technology is pervasive and human relationships are increasingly impersonal. Does technological advancement really work to connect us or does it end up pushing us further apart? With excellent performances from an all-star cast that includes Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Amy Adams and Scarlett Johansson as the voice of Samantha, this is an intriguing film that will leave you thinking long after you finish watching.
This dark and powerful thriller received praise at Cannes, winning the awards for Best Screenplay and Best Actor. In You Were Never Really Here, by director Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin), Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) delivers an impressive performance as a traumatized veteran who rescues kidnapped girls. With its stylized visual approach and minimalist storytelling, the film stands out for its emotional intensity and Phoenix's powerful performance.
What a sensitive, beautiful and delicate movie 'C'mon C'mon' is, a feature film directed and written by Mike Mills ('Every Kind of Love', 'Women of the 20th Century') and starring Joaquin Phoenix ('Joker'). With a beautiful black and white photography, it tells the story of an uncle (Phoenix) who must learn to deal with and live with his nephew (Woody Norman), an intelligent and eccentric boy who faces problems with his parents. Without weighing down and becoming a melodrama, the movie moves with the most beautiful aspects of a relationship and, mainly, with the process of life discovery by a child. All this emotion gains even more powerful airs with the good performances of the main duo: Phoenix hits as this uncle who tries to share his love between work and family, while Norman shows a rare cinematic power in children.
