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.

No Direction Home (2005)

 
Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Bob Dylan, Joan Baez 
Running time: 208 minutes

 


This documentary, directed by master director Martin Scorsese goes over the career of singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, from his beginnings to his controversial move from acoustic folk to electric rock music. Scorsese sheds some light on those who influenced Dylan’s work, those who were his contemporaries and then focuses on the man’s lasting impact on our musical culture.

Martin Scorsese’s love for the work of his Dylan is plain to see in this documentary. The director even managed to get a lot of information out of the man himself, which can be hard work in itself. This was a really informative documentary about Bob Dylan and the great work of his I still enjoy today. It was also great to learn about all of his influences.

I love this film.
