This Is Not a Movie Journal — It’s a Way of Learning How to See

 Most people watch films.

We sit down, follow the story, feel something, and move on. A few days later, only fragments remain — a scene, a line, a vague emotion.

But what if watching films could be something more?

What if it could become a practice?


I’m happy to share that my new book is now available on Amazon:

“52 Films That Will Change How You Watch Movies — Watch, Think, Write.”

This is not a journal about movies.
It is a journal about how you see.

Over 52 weeks, this book invites you to slow down and engage with cinema differently. Each week, you watch one carefully selected film — not casually, but with intention. Each film comes with a “Viewing Lens,” a simple but powerful way to direct your attention.

Instead of asking “Did I like it?”, you begin to ask:

  • What is this film doing?
  • How is meaning being constructed?
  • What am I noticing now that I didn’t before?

You write. You reflect. You return.

And slowly, something changes.




This book is built around a simple method:

Expect → Observe → Record → Reflect

It’s not about becoming a critic.
It’s about becoming aware.

By the end of the year, you don’t just have a list of films — you have a record of how your perception evolved.

The screen has not changed.
But you have.


What comes next?

This book is only the beginning.

I am currently working on the next project in this series:

👉 “Cinema Through Lacan: A 52-Week Journey into Psychoanalysis”

This will go deeper — using films as a medium to explore:

  • desire
  • the gaze
  • fantasy
  • the unconscious

Not as abstract theory, but as something you can see unfold on screen.


If this idea resonates with you — of watching more carefully, thinking more deeply, and turning cinema into a reflective practice — this journey is for you.
