This week I travelled and, as a consequence, I had less time and also a reduced internet bandwidth to watch films.

This week, again, my creative spirit has dried up. So, let’s go straight to the films.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is the latest work from Simogo, a small videogame studio from Sweden. I bought it without hesitation, and soon I was immersed in a mysterious story about a young woman exploring a deserted hotel, in Germany in 1962.
It’s about modern art, and cinema, and time jumping, and magic, and coffee, and a creepy girl with an owl mask, and possibly cosmic horror. And puzzles. Lots of puzzles.
In short, it’s like it was written just for me.

Once again I’m incredibly late for this post.
Even more incredibly late because the number of films I watch is decreasing, mostly because I’m getting impatient and I am not so inclined to finish a Netflix film when I see it’s going nowhere, especially if the dialogues sound like stock sentences from an 80s B-movie. I won’t name names.

2025 is taking its toll on me. The beginning of the year is usually a very busy period for work-related reasons, but usually by mid-February things go back to a normal rhythm. This time, work and non-work commitments are piling up still.
No big deal, but you’ll have to forgive me if this post comes in quite late, and is probably a bit more disconnected than usual.

This edition of Weekly visions marks a full year of summarising my weekly watches. I think it’s a decent achievement, and it would be the perfect occasion to stop writing these posts… but I have no intention of doing that. I’m not tired of them yet.
