Honestly, I am inspired by Madame Kaja Kallas, former Prime Minister of Estonia, for posting collages every six months of the books she has read on her Instagram. Well, so I made my version too but for the films. I will make this a tradition for me. I am looking forward to your opinions and film recommendations, feel free to tell me!

These are the posters of the films I have watched from January to June 2025: 8 films. There are actually many on my watchlist but these are the films I have watched and reviewed. I will post my reviews of these films later.

I skimmed Patrick McGilligan’s recent biography of Woody Allen today. Like the reviewer, I found the writing on the film making, especially Allen's work with the cinematographer Gordon Willis, rewarding.

While working on his book, McGilligan polled "104 US film critics, scholars, and entertainment journalists" to discover which of Allen's films rated most highly by informed viewers. Here are the results:

1) Annie Hall (84 votes)

2) Crimes and Misdemeanors (54); Hannah and Her Sisters (54)

3) Manhattan (46)

4) Purple Rose of Cairo (26)

5) Midnight in Paris (24)

6) Zelig (21)

7) Broadway Danny Rose (20)

8) Radio Days (18); Match Point (18)

9) Vicky Cristina Barcelona (13); Blue Jasmine (13)

10) Bullets over Broadway (12)

A Woody Allen biography for the rest of us, not haters or superfans

Patrick McGilligan’s exhaustive 'Woody Allen: A Travesty of a Mockery of a Sham' addresses controversies but is more interested in the filmmaker's best work.

Los Angeles Times

". . .the documentary explores the decades-long strategy employed by conservative politicians 'to amplify racial divisions and white victimization narratives for power and profit'. . ."
