Filmmaking

Worldbuilding might be by far my favorite aspect of storytelling. I love immersing myself in fictional universes such as Westeros, the Wizarding World, and a galaxy far, far away. But the most interesting fictional worlds are those based on the world we know.

The sequel to the best science-fiction film of all time lives up to its predecessor. I might even add that it's—in my opinion—the greatest film of the decade. It is a film that talks about us, humans, and our ability to create and respond to works of art.

Sequels always were considered inferior. That is except for The Godfather, Part II. But sometimes, in rare cases, they can really surprise you. This was the case when I went into the theater, ready to trash the latest sequel to one of my all-time favorite film.

Cannes' Palme d'Or won many awards and nominations with particular praise for Abdellatif Kechiche's direction. Does it deserve all the praise? Well, yes... Although one thing bothered me along my viewing of the film. Let's find out what it is.
