Here’s a film that, with an excellent dose of irony, some idiocy, and a good deal of barbs for society, gives us a summary of the year 2021.
For me, it felt like 2021 got by running, but as I reviewed some of the events, I realized that it was much longer than I initially realized.
Nonetheless, if you want a 2021 retrospective with intelligence and humor, I strongly recommend this film (or is it a mini-film)?!…

Supernova
Supernova is a star that reaches its peak and explodes into billions of small particles that will become life in another part of the cosmos.
This film takes us on a journey of love, sharing, remembering, wanting, leaving… And it leads us to an interior supernova.
A beautiful and pure love written in the stars of the night, in the Milky Way that not only encompasses the heavenly vault but is also inscribed in the core of each one of us!
The beauty of the photography in this film is idyllic, the landscapes are breathtaking, so beautiful and poetic the way they are screened to us and the soundtrack lulls us into a story shared by the road not only of the journey itself but also of the journey of Life!
The intensity of the story is sometimes stifling, as we feel so much in the skin of each of the protagonists, Sam and Tusker!
The brilliant work of the actors, Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci is chilling… The faithful delivery of a story that can be as real as it is vivid!
A delight and a grip are feelings that pervade us at the end of this film.
I do recommend it.
“We will not starve for lack of wonders, but from lack of wonder.”

The Velvet Underground
Whether you like or hate them, The Velvet Underground documentary it’s a piece of art!
History is exposed in this doc, not only the bands but also the 60’s explosion of art in its most ubiquity… The caldron that fostered miscegenation of arts was presented in the form of a unique band, The Velvet Underground!
To find the roots of alternative music in all its aspects within this doc!

Lou Reed & John Cale
It’s just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It’s just the wasted years so close behind
Woodstock 99: Peace, Love and Rage
Music has and will always be the art that can bring people together, make them feel unified, and believe in themselves…
Watching this documentary blew my mind… How can something so pure become this rage, this warzone that Woodstock99 became?!…
Everyone who enjoys music must watch this documentary, so each one can have a possibility of questioning itself about these facts, this monstrosity, this need to rage against each other… And finally, see it as the documentary it is, about a specific festival, and what should never ever happen again!
Let love rule with music, always!
There’s a festival grounds in Germany, it was literally built by Hitler. And we’ve played there a bunch of times, it’s a great venue, lots of fun. The airbase was less hospitable than the venue built by Nazis.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Marvel has finally come to amends with its Asian superheroes and what a great way to do it!
You will find not just lots of amazing special effects, but incredible martial arts performances, that brings us back to “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” almost balladesque scenes (and it brought Michelle Yeoh to this universe too)… Lots of humor with Awkwafina and Simu Liu mixed with the action that Marvel made it its own!
It is almost a crossover movie, between the Holywood-based Marvel to Asian cinematic!
You are the product of all who came before you, the legacy of your family. You are your mother. And whether you like it or not, you are also your father.

Kid 90
I really, really enjoyed this documentary! It can bring us way back up ’til the ’90s!
OK, I might be one of the fewest people in the world who didn’t know Soleil Moon Frey, sorry about that!
Nonetheless, the documentary it’s great… All that footage taken by her and her friends deserved to be delivered back to the light!
And you will find also lots of actors, actresses that are now at their peak or where!
It is on ode to friends, to life, and to the ’90s.
And after that, listen to the beautiful original song of the one and only Linda Perry… It is absolutely overwhelming, heartfelt, and pitch-perfect! It sums up the documentary in a way that it deserved an Oscar.
Peeling away emotions I felt
Wouldn’t change a moment of my life
So many walked through these doors
Falling through windows to so much more
We held onto each other to get by
Put up a fight
Enough is enough
We were just kids
Falling in love
Trying to play a game we couldn’t win
So, where are you now?
Where were you then?
Do you belong?
Have you found a true friend?
And who you making love with along the way?
I’ve been fearless
Trying to be strong
Yeah, I’ve been living on the edge
For so long
I’ve been waiting for light
To show me the way
Help me piece it together, frame by frame
I’m holding on
Watching my past
The ones that made it
And the ones that couldn’t last
It’s all right here
I wrote it to myself
What I wanted wasn’t crazy
All I needed was some light
In my life”
Jagged
An astonishing trip back to the mid-’90s, with the one and only Alanis Morissette!
Watching this documentary was a thrilling experience… Hearing these tunes brought me back to a bunch of thrilling moments lived, laughed, cried, screamed at that particular point of my life!
She deserved every single love given by her fans, for she opened her heart with us all and gave a soundtrack to moments that made us who we are today!
It was a trip watching her backstory up until the moment Jagged little pill was written!
Girl power, no doubt about it, but foremost, pure energy transformed into timeless music!
Thank you very much, Alanis!
You nailed it!
You won!
Dune: parte one
Dune, the book saga it’s a fascinating journey throughout science fiction adventure intertwined with a vast richness of characters and their own struggles and history!
This new adaptation brings Dune to life again with incredible and state-of-the-art special effects… They’re just mind-blowing!
As far as the story goes, like the title says, this is just part one… Still, it should consolidate the character’s arc stories a bit more, let’s just wait until the second half fills some blanks leftover!
Nonetheless, go watch it if you a fan of the saga or if you like science fiction in its purity!
“You have proven you can rule yourself. Now you must learn to govern others, something none of your ancestors learned. ”

Diva, Aretha Franklin, Queen of Soul life!
A great biography movie, of this one and only woman! She put her heart and soul in everything she did and it became timeless. And I won’t even mention the soundtrack, because it’s pure gold! And Jennifer Hudson sings with soul and heart too!
Above all, she was an entertainer and a movement rights front-woman! RESPECT!
Singing for the movement, and sending people into battle with a song is not enough anymore. I need to be with them.
