While I do enjoy a good biographical film as much as the next person, I must admit that the ones that have always interest me the most are the ones that explores a figure from history that I’m either not really all that familiar with or actually never even heard of at all. One film … Continue reading

The Rabbi’s Cat is what I would call a pleasant surprise; I went into this film blind. I had no idea other than it was an animation, of what it was about or the back story. You see this film was originally a 5-part comic series, which was highly popular in France from writer and … Continue reading
