"Buñuel is my first deep love in cinema. He is the adult that pulled the plug on the human art of pretending. He blazes through the hypocrisy at the heart of our bourgeois lives mercilessly—no one is sacred, no ideal or moral is spared. He is perfectly modern, bold, and clear. I found myself laughing in joy and amazement. He understands human nature while refusing to sentimentalize it."

"Existential angst, black-and-white landscapes that feel cut out of slate and bone, quivering ruminations on mortality, and symbolic self-reflexive experimentation in film form-that’s all very masterful and inspiring and well and good, but I didn’t fall in love with Bergman until I discovered (via this box set) Fanny and Alexander. A rich adult fairy tale about how we use storytelling in our lives, not for pleasure alone."

One of my favorite animated movies. Lots of adventure, comedy and good songs. I think this would be a good movie for a child or adult I guess who lacks confidence. It is about a blind young guy, a girl and a 2 headed dragon who go on an adventure to find the sword Excalibur. The 2 headed dragon is so funny! The 2 main characters have a great backstory too.

After... certainly not happily ever

This movie had sat on my Netflix watch list for ages, I continued to by pass it daily until I took the plunge. I was glad to watch it, taken in by the story, horrified by the “twist” and rolling along with the predictability. I enjoyed the fresh faced casting, the filming locations also... worth a watch if you like Young Adult drama
