Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Robin Williams: Come Into My Mind (2018)

Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Marina Zenovixh
Starring: Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Lewis Black, Elayne Boosler
Running time: 116 minutes

 


With a mixture of archived footage and interviews with family members and friends, this brilliant documentary covers the life and career of comedian and actor Robin Williams, from his youth to his rise to fame and to his unexpected passing.

I absolutely loved this documentary. I am a big Robin Williams fan, which helps. But this film is filled with so much great material. I laughed. I was deeply touched. Start to finish, I was hooked. It even put me a little more at peace with the man’s untimely passing. I particularly enjoyed Billy Crystal contribution to this movie. I can only imagine how tough it must have been for him.
