Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 18/07/2025
» Remember the popular HBO series Girls from over a decade ago? The show was widely recognised for its postfeminist commentary on female sexuality and millennial angst and it ran for a surprisingly long six seasons. To this day, I still don't really understand the rave reviews. I only watched a few episodes here and there, so I won't pretend to be an expert on it, but what I saw never quite resonated with me.

» After his Oscar-sweeping triumph Parasite (2019), Bong Joon-ho had carte blanche to do just about anything. His follow-up?

Based on Edward Ashton's novel Mickey7, the film is genre-defying, thought-provoking and often downright bizarre -- in the best way possible.
