3 Tales of Chances
What happens when three by chance meetings turn into moments of self realisation? Japanese director and writer Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy provides clues, but no answers.
The triptych film centres on emotions lost and rediscovered over the years bringing along with it consequences of past decisions. Life is based on decisions.
The second story, Door Wide Open, in my opinion the strongest of the three, concerns a plot of revenge and humans abilities to injure ourselves actively and passively. Actor Kiyohiko Shibukawa’s melancholic performance as an acclaimed university professor stands out. His character’s incapability of escaping from an emotional box was memorable.
Magic, the first story, concerns intertwined relationships and outcomes.
The last of the trio, Once Again, is about reconnecting, longing, then rationalisation.
Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy runs for 121 minutes.

Borsalino headwear and film history go hand in hand. The 2015 documentary BORSALINO CITY is being released in an English version. Director Enrica Viola’s work weaves the story of how 163 years ago Giuseppe Borsalino founded a hat atelier in Alessandria, Italy to becoming iconic parts of film history.
His style legacy has been worn by in cinema masterpieces including: “81/2” and “Breathless”. Can any cinephile imagine Boagart without the hat in the final scene of “Casablanca”?
See the film trailer below:
I have a small collection of Borsalino Hats in my closet. Loved! Each piece gets recognised by those in the know.
Director Paul Verhoeven made a certain film that has outlived the most savage reviews. Why? A bad film we love.

Chat Cinema on Women in The Business
We had spontaneous discussion on the lack of award nominations for women. It turned into a podcast. Sofia gives her opinions. Why the exclusion? What has changed since #Metoo? The film business has long to way go.
The last Chat Cinema of the year. A bit of a conversation about the state of Cinema. Many auteurs are having a hard time adapting to the new trend of Hollywood. Director Martin Scorsese comments raised many eyebrows.
This inspiration for this podcast comes from a recent New York Times article.
