The Lady from Shanghai (1947) – Film Review
Orson Welles produces and leads this good noir, alongside his then wife Rita Hayworth, which has garnered classic status although being far from great.

If there has ever been a truly fairy tale adaptation put into film that is undoubtedly it. The insane production design work in this film with insane sets, magical locations, amazing dresses, and crazy make-up really immerse the audience member in a fantastic medieval reality where kings and queens, princes and princesses, peasants and servants, and even fairies exist.

Jacques Audiard’s Palme d’Or winning film is a great look into the difficulties that immigrants in Europe go through their adaptation process in after arriving in Europe, moreover, coming as war refugees, with a nice little twist of action on top of its preeminent social criticism.

The dream movie of any conspiracy theorist. It is a good visually, passably entertaining, passably acted and more on the weaker side as a mystery story that serves as an average watch but more than possibly a forgettable one.

Study on capitalism, greed, corruption, and the falsity of the so-called American Dream presented through the occurrences of a businessman, perfectly played by Oscar Isaac, in his quest of growing his “honourable” heating oil business in the New York of 1981.
