Waiting

How much of our life do we spend waiting for something that will never arrive? And how often does that waiting actually turn out the way that we'd like it to?

Movies

Nothing has quite had an effect on my perception of reality, the idea of waiting, and possibilities of life pre- and post-death quite like these movies. If you have some free time on your watch and you’d like some powerful, thought-provoking, and perhaps life-changing cinema that is centered around our perception of time and reality, look no further than these movies.
