Little Ashes

If I'm going to be anything more than average, if anyone's going to remember me, then I need to go further in everything: in art, in life, in everything they think is real: morality, immorality, good, bad... I, we, have to smash that to pieces, we have to go beyond that, we have to be brave. No limits...
Salvador Dalí

I think this movie isn't for everyone. It's deeply emotional and dramatic, telling a complex and emotional story about Frederico Garcia Lorca and Salvador Dalí during their young years at the university when they embarked on conquering the world... It's about feelings, thoughts and passion experienced by the main characters - and their relationship during their university years (background of the plot).

This is an independent non-commercial motion picture which had extremely limited distribution, in only a small number of countries. It will never become too popular as it is totally different from movies with multi-million budgets, special effects and all the pop-culture... Movies like "Little Ashes" always stay beyond wide public attention, but honestly, it is better this way :)

"Cenicitas" (eng. 'little ashes') is the painting which inspired the movie title.

Spanish, the huskily melodic language, is a perfect combination of beauty and emotion - it's worth to learn it for this reason alone! And then there are the olive groves, la siesta, the sleepy villages... the mountains and the beaches...

And of course all the cultural heritage - amazingly rich, but also quite unique - unrivalled and incomparable.

And all this... and so much more are making me come back... again and again.

Survive Style 5+

Survive Style 5+ is one of the movies which has impressed me recently and definitely the movie very hard to forget! It's completely safe to say that this Japanese movie is unlike anything you have ever seen before. If you haven't watched it - expect exaggerated bizarre randomness of the plot. One could say that the movie sways between quiet meditation and frenzied madness. It also has a great sense of humour - more subtle and different from the typical Hollywood one-line jokes...

However, what I loved most about this film is its striking visuals. The movie has a lot of style! The modernistic design of Asano's house is absolutely mesmerizing. Each room in his mansion holds a decor that resembles Dali's surrealism, and the lavish set design during the Christmas celebration is breathtaking. The Christmas scene develops slowly but watch it till the end - you won't regret it.

I could really watch this movie again and again to rediscover and admire its stunning details. I hope you will like it as well!
