Kinoki: Film Recommendations

Kinoki is a group with highly refined cinematic tastes, so we asked some of their members for movie recommendations. We promise you don't have to know anything about diegesis, mise–en–scene or other fancy shit to enjoy these picks.

WHIPLASH:

The Oscar–nominated phenomenon follows a young musician and his impassioned teacher.

SUGGESTED BY: MAX KURTZMAN

A TIME TO KILL:

Sandra Bullock. Matthew McConaughey. Samuel L. Jackson. Need we say more?

SUGGESTED BY: MAX KURTZMAN

MEMENTO:

This wild Christopher Nolan film plays backwards. A must for any cinephile.

SUGGESTED BY: MAX KURTZMAN

THE GREAT BEAUTY:

A rich, Oscar–winning Italian film. All forms of film prestige attained in a single movie.

SUGGESTED BY: AUGIE BERNSTEIN 

HER:

Scarlett Johansson sounds sexier than we look and she seduces Joaquin Phoenix purely with her voice. Did we mention she basically plays a phone?

SUGGESTED BY: ELLIOT WOLF
