I also like #films (#movies), which I passionately add to my to-watchlist and then don't watch... 😅 I'm trying to get better though! I like Japanese existential psychological dramas. But also #biopics ^^ And all kinds of philosophical, psychologicall films and not only. I hope to watch "Barfly", about the life of writer #CharlesBukowski philosophizing about life and the way we are forced to live, while being drunk in a bar. Well, it's about his character and alter ego.
