"Passion and joy are effortlessly married here. I heard a quote from Renoir to the effect that it’s most important to make the viewer believe that there is life beyond the frame; what an awesome definition of filmmaking!

This man loved people and explained them with such veracity; lift your leg high and you’ll know!"

"“Parasite” starts as a novel of manners that relentlessly metamorphoses into a black comedy, ghost story, psychological thriller, horror movie, and ends in an unexpected but inevitable tragedy. It was a unanimous Palme d’Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival this year and I will never forget the faces and enthusiasm of all the jury members after we had the privilege to see it being presented to the world for the first time at the Palais…"

"These are two of the ripped-from-the-headlines social realist films that Warner Brothers made in the 1930s. I Am a Fugitive is like a classical tragedy, majestic and horrifying, and very thorough in its presentation of systematic injustice. Heroes For Sale is more melodramatic, covering a mixed bag of problems – drug addiction, displacement of workers through automation, and violent labor struggles. Wellman used real workers and homeless people in some of these scenes, which increases the impact."

With careful and outstanding illustrations that give a weight to the setting and characters, this story of a Belgian journalist gives the story of Afghanistan from a non-US point of view. The encroaching of the Taliban at the withdrawal of the western forces echoes books like Malala's biography and show how little was really accomplished. As a way to bring this real-life tragedy to a different readership is a needed thing, well done to the writers and artist.
