Daniela (or Dani, for short) is as keen on film and television as she is on literature. Being the proud mother to two lovely cats, she loves pets wholeheartedly. When she's not watching a melancholic or existentialist movie, Dani is most likely enjoying a good book and the smell of its printed pages or listening to any Lana Del Rey record.

Through time, Asian cinema has rightfully become one of the most beloved in the industry, with films like Parasite taking home remarkable prizes and making history at the Academy Awards. With that being said, the rise of Asian cinema's popularity among Western world audiences is evident; more and more moviegoers understandably find the astounding cinematography and gripping storylines of Asian cinema extremely appealing.

Hero's absorbing narrative is not the only aspect that makes it stand out in the genre; its flawless execution cements Yimou's movie as an essential historical epic that flourishes with brilliant usage of color and memorable characters. It would be a crime not to include the film in such a list, especially when it endures such a beloved one by global audiences.

While by no means an easy and lighthearted watch given the sensitive nature of the themes it tackles, Grave of the Fireflies is not only an incredible Asian historical film that showcases the power of animation by perfectly illustrating such terrible circumstances but also a fantastic war drama that ranks high among the best in the genre. This heartbreaking story will certainly leave a strong imprint on audiences and stick with them long after the credits roll.

Flawlessly brought to you from the mind behind Asian epics like Oldboy and Decision to Leave, the incredible The Handmaiden is an essential Asian film for audiences who are into historical movies, as the characterization and ravishing production design are nothing short of incredible. Furthermore, The Handmaiden offers audiences a gripping tale of gender, revenge, and social class.
