Blade Runner 2049:
Set shortly, Blade Runner 2049 focuses on a former replicant blade runner (played by Ryan gosling where he did an incredible job) who goes on searching for another blade runner missing for over years, after he found something that would rupture out civilizations. The movie is much credited for its nostalgic background music and awarding visual effects that seemed real for real. Don’t miss it.
Polytechnique (2009):
Usually, good films don’t have that sort of violence, but Polytechnique becomes unadvisable here as the story plotlines something like that. If you ask, this film is based on the incident of the Ecole Polytechnique massacre or the Montreal Massacre and portrayed with the help of two students who watch gunmen slaughter 14 young women. The movie shows violence in its gist as mentioned by some of the critics and granted it a recommended watch.
Water:
A classic of a movie that reminds films only can be made with pure passion and direction skills that don’t matter to the pace of the country or where it is made, Deepa Mehta’s Water shows astounding work of art to the core of entertainment. The story is about a young widow whose husband recently died is left to pay and see for her sins. A simple story if you ask, this movie even went for an Oscar nomination.
Spider:
Less of a mental movie where a character is entitled to the condition, Spider directed by David Cronenberg revolves around a young boy with schizophrenia goes into believing that his father killed his mother and brought a prostitute instead, while he is sent to a mental institution. The movie brings a cringe environmental situation that reminds of the old director how they made their movies, David doesn’t leave viewers with all he has got. The movie gives the chills.
C.R.A.Z.Y:
Quite a contrary movie, CRAZY stacks up with a boy named Zachary Beaulieu who is confused among himself and most importantly, his own sexual feelings and resolves whether to accept them or not and if he does, will his family accept him? All these contradicts are met and discussed in the film itself. And with that, the Quebec director Jean-Marc Vallée managed to get a rare combination of wild artistic ambition about a young boy growing up in typical working-class Montreal and trying to accept his desires.
