The name of the channel is a reference to the famous tape of the French new wave “Cleo from 5 to 7” directed by Agnes Varda. The author of the channel Julia Kashpor shares screenshots from favorite films, talks about films of the golden age of Hollywood, as well as about female characters in cinema. In addition, Kashpor studies the history of cinema, Jungian psychoanalysis, is interested in surrealist art and poetry – the confirmation of which can also be found on her channel. It all looks like a cottage core aesthetic combined with Sylvia Plath’s lyrics and Sofia Coppola’s optics. Easy, beautiful, but at the same time meaningful and interesting.

Aytivets Bohdan Lopatin started hosting a channel about cinema, because I had not seen anything similar in the Ukrainian segment. For more than a year, the author has been talking about filming, as well as interesting facts about the actors. Where did the image of Ursula from Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” come from?

Another channel of authors the movie is not worth it and waste, but, this time, focused on translations. Authors create Ukrainian subtitles for everything from short films to comics. So, if you have long wanted to watch this or that movie in peace, but there is still no dubbing, and your level of English (or any other language) does not allow you to fully immerse yourself in the plot, you can leave your request at order boardand maybe you will be lucky enough to see your dream movie with Ukrainian subtitles.
Gothic aesthetics and reviews of movies about haunted scientists and monsters.
