My favourite TV series are Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Les Revenants, Twin Peaks.

Gibli Studio Animations
- Some of my favourite movie directors: Kitano Takeshi, Roberto Rossellini, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, Stanley Kubrick, Kim Ki-Duk, David Lynch.
- Some of my absolute favourite movies: Wild Strawberries, Dolls, 3-Iron, Her, Hana-Bi, Castaway on the Moon...now I'm getting tired with this list, I'll write more when I'm inspired!
