Lord of Fools

Seeker of cinematic truths. Film theorist and scholar by discipline, existentialist by curse—finding beauty in the haunting whispers of the screen.

DUST BUNNY builds a fantastical yet powerful metaphor around the adaptive resilience of the adolescent mind. Fun film. 🎥🎥

Imagine if AI had existed to tell Virginia Woolf that her stream-of-consciousness style was incorrect or too difficult to read, or to tell Harlan Ellison that his dense, image-driven sentences needed simplification.

We need to guard against sterilizing organic human thought. The so-called mistakes, errors, colloquialisms, and slang in writing are what allow language to evolve and expand into new stylistic possibilities. #writing #AI

Derrickson’s Black Phone 2 effectively shifts from 70s psychological horror to 80s slasher intensity, expanding its world while keeping its supernatural core. We break down its style, emotion, and mythology in our latest episode. #BlackPhone2 #Horror

For those who are dogmatic, remember that the universe and its wonders leave open an infinity of interpretations. We must refrain from closing the infinite simply because of how we perceive the world.

This is why I love French New Wave films.
This particular film is one of my favorites. It's not about the politics for me, but the philosophical expression that embodies much of the #FrenchNewWave.

The Death of a Unicorn feels oddly intentioned—another “eat the rich” allegory without a fully imagined cosmology to justify its fantastical turns. Grief and loss resonate, but clash with the bizarre, horrific twist.

#Eddington mirrors post-truth chaos with surrealist structure—but does its refusal of clarity reflect our fractured culture or alienate viewers until its critique loses force?

An excellent superhero picture—very fun and full of heart. Probably some of the best VFX I’ve seen in a while. Proof that simplicity doesn’t mean poor craftsmanship, as long as there’s solid structure and a resonant theme.

The crisis of our time is not external but internal: self-indulgence, self-righteousness, and self-importance. By dismantling these narcissistic tendencies, the peripheral struggles of society will become more intelligible and more manageable.

The Western intellectual tradition has pursued a single, seductive dream: that the truth is waiting to be discovered. But what if this quest has led humanity into great danger?

Manuel Delaflor challenges the Enlightenment ideal of objective truth, arguing that our models don’t represent reality but rather that they create it.

Heraclitus was called the "weeping philosopher" because of his melancholic view of human existence. He lamented the inability of people to grasp deeper truths; his disdain for society led him to live in relative isolation.

Section 31 aspires to chart new territory while remaining tethered to Trek’s ideals—a precarious balancing act that results in an uneven hybrid.

Wolf Man thrives on its intimate exploration of generational trauma and identity, yet its cerebral approach and stripped-down realism leave the mythic grandeur of the werewolf legend hauntingly absent.

Interesting film. It has been unfairly panned but actually relies on various intriguing philosophical ideas pertaining to artificial intelligence, specifically the idea of lived experience and how consciousness arises through engagement with the world.

Mubi is on the rise! This film looks fantastic.

The Girl with the Needle is loosely based on the true story of Danish serial killer Dagmar Overbye.

My Name is Nobody serves as a bridge between the traditional Spaghetti Western and its more comedic, parodic offshoots. It’s a film that pays homage to the genre while simultaneously signaling its demise.

Organ Trail (2023) fuses Western grit with survival horror, but uneven tones hold it back. Stunning visuals & rich themes shine, but horror fans may want more. Worth a watch for frontier buffs!

Nicolas Cage’s penchant for eccentric, larger-than-life characters finds fertile ground in Yuval Adler’s Sympathy for the Devil, a taut psychological thriller where the lines between victim, perpetrator, and avenger blur into a morally charged tableau.
