MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (MIFF) 2018 - W.2

MIFF, HERE WE GO AGAIN!

I'm so sad my film festival weekend comes to an end! We've been having so much fun on each day we were coming and watching the movies. This last weekend, we booked two movies. We spent our weekend for so many quality conversations about life and everything in between. And also pancakes! Two days in a row, Baby! 

To say that MIFF wasn't one of my best Australia highlights would be such a vast understatement. I will definitely come back next year if I have a chance! 

So... Here are some highlights from this weekend. Enjoy! 

Day 4: Saturday, 11 August 2018 

The Kindergarten Teacher (USA) 

Director: Sara Colangelo 

Language: English

Genre: Drama

Goodness! This movie is a rollercoaster ride from the beginning! It's easy to fall in love with all the characters, it felt so real to watch them living their lives. Maggie Gyllenhaal is a remarkable actress, no doubt, but in this movie, I can see her best work. Might be my most favourite movie of her. When I watched this movie as if I was inside her head. The way she thought, behaved, gestured, everything just adds more depth into the story, thou the story itself is definitely one of the most interesting, complex movies. 

Rating: 5/5 

Day 5: Sunday, 12 August 2018 

Sorry Angel (France) 

Director: Christophe Honoré 

Language: French

Genre: Drama, Romance 

What I love about French movie that it is always paying so many attention to the art and culture of the country, takes it as a tribute. The beauty of French cinema in a way they tell the story is so visible in this movie. Sorry, Angel is one of those movies that plays in audience emotional side without romanticise or glorifies the unfortunate events. 

Rating: 3/5  

MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (MIFF) 2018 - W.1

Finally! 

I booked 10 movies and I could not be happier than this. Watching movie always has a big part of my life and to have a chance to go to Melbourne International Film Festival, sit in the same room with people who share the same passion with me, where we enjoy (and cry!) the movie. This event is definitely something I'm so proud and grateful for.

We booked for 5 days on the weekend, couldn't make it for the special screenings or pre-events because of work duh, but we had so much fun! We were having blast during each day, each movie. There were some moments we cried together (and others at the cinema too!), laughed and most importantly, we loved every movie we watched. 

Here are some highlights from our first weekend!
