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.

Woodstock: Three Days That Defined A Generation (2019)

Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Barak Goodman
Running Time: 96 minutes



Fifty years after the original Woodstock Music Festival, held over the course of three days in August 1969, in Bethel, New York, this documentary serves as a very compelling reminder of how this great moment in history would define the generation it meant to represent.

I love how this documentary sets Woodstock in its proper context, with an America still reeling from the Vietnam War and the feelings of the younger generation towards the conflict. It was really interesting to hear from the people involved and to find out how the whole thing came together. It was a sheer miracle how everything ended up going so well in spite of the logistical issues. It sure would be awesome to see such collaboration between people of various generations nowadays.
