    Estimated reading time: 8 minutesSet against the smoggy, polyester-clad backdrop of 1977 Los Angeles, The Nice Guys is a riotous cocktail of slapstick chaos and hardboiled detective tropes. Director Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) crafts a world where disco balls spin alongside grimy alleyways, and every corner hides a new absurd threat.

    Estimated reading time: 7 minutes Jean Rollin’s 1973 film The Iron Rose (La rose de fer) – marketed in English at one point as The Crystal Rose — marks a fascinating pivot within the director’s distinctive filmography. Known predominantly for his ethereal vampire tales, Rollin here trades fangs for a more grounded, yet profoundly unsettling, exploration of existential dread and psychological unraveling, all while retaining his signature dreamlike, poetic visual style.

    Estimated reading time: 9 minutesJacques Demy, the luminous voice of the French New Wave, declared his 1964 masterpiece Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) a “film in music.” This description captures its essence perfectly. Transcending the traditional musical format, the film unfolds as a continuous, sung-through operetta. Every line of dialogue is set to Michel Legrand’s vibrant, jazz-inflected score, transforming ordinary conversation into soaring melody.

    Estimated reading time: 9 minutesAlex Proyas’ Dark City (1998) remains a singular, atmospheric masterpiece, blending the shadowy aesthetics of 1940s film noir with mind-bending science fiction. Starring Rufus Sewell as the profoundly lost John Murdoch, the film plunges us into a perpetually nocturnal metropolis where nothing is as it seems. Murdoch awakens in a hotel bathtub with complete amnesia, immediately finding himself the prime suspect in a series of ritualistic murders.

    Estimated reading time: 6 minutesDirected by Naoko Yamada (A Silent Voice, Liz and the Blue Bird) and animated by Science Saru (Devilman Crybaby), The Colors Within (2024) is a poignant exploration of human connection, blending Yamada’s signature sensitivity with the studio’s bold visual experimentation. The film follows Totsuko, a high schooler who perceives people as swirling hues—a metaphor for emotional depth—and becomes entranced by the enigmatic “color” of her classmate Kimi.

Burkina Faso’s Ibrahim Traoré says what the West dares not admit: “Democracy is not where you begin—it’s what comes after revolution.” To develop, a nation must break the chains of dependency—economic, cultural, military. “Cite one country that developed in democracy—it’s https://t.co/5teH0a07Vl
