Warfare

2025

★★★★★ Liked 3

wowowowowowow, Lucas this is 100% your best film and one of my favourite shorts anyone of my mutuals had made. cinematography is absolutely beautiful and i love every single shot choice, it works so well with the story, it emphasises that every shot matters in this, every cut it’s purposeful. love the change in focus in two shots and the zooms were incredible. i like the colour grading but i think it’s a bit too harsh at points but it…

Ivan's Childhood

1962

★★★★½ Liked Watched

Ivan’s childhood has got to be one of the best war films i’ve seen. Tarkovsky is a director i really need to get into more and from the two films i’ve seen, he is him. the way he frames shots, to evoke certain feelings from the viewer, the way that tension is built up is done so masterfully. i strive to have this excellence with how the cinematography is directed. every single tracking shot or zoom is so heavily motivated…
