Gastoski

A lifelong lover of cinema, specifically of the Asian continent, among my favourite directors I can mention  

Yasujirō Ozu, Mikio Naruse, Kenji Mizoguchi, Seijun Suzuki, King Hu, Wong Kar-wai, John Woo....

I love Japanese Nūberu bāgu films, Hong Kong cinema, especially melodramas

I really like contemporary Korean movies

My favourite actresses are Maggie Cheung and Shu Qi.

I love Korean dramas, especially those of the early 2000s,  i love Jun Ji-hyun, Ha Ji-won, Son Ye-jin, Song Hye-kyo,  Park Min-young and many others gorgeous actresses!

I also like Japanese dramas.

I like writing to give a place to what I watch. It could be considered archival-critical research: I follow contemporary dramas, but I watch them thinking about those who have already paved the way—the 'oldies but goldies' of the early Korean wave. It is a historical approach, not a nostalgic one. I revisit the classics, bring them into dialogue with the present, and measure how much the contemporary scene owes to the past works that laid its foundations. Not out of nostalgia, but for critical memory: I don't miss “the past because it's the past”, but rather because in certain works I found a narrative risk that I perceive as rarer today. I put yesterday and today in dialogue, and in that dialogue, I seek the meaning of what I watch.
