Brother (2000) is an underrated great Los Angeles film.
I usually don't love when a director whose work is so tied to their own roots and culture ventures into a different one, especially when they are pushed into it just to have an english speaking film, but Kitano doesn't compromise here

I couldn't pinpoint what this pic of Macron reminded me of, than going through my watchlist I found out that he must be a great admirer of Sam Shepard and Robert Altman's Fool For Love!

It's not that Columbo is a supernatural entity, it's Peter Falk who's a literal angel. Wings of Desire revelead it almost 40 years ago!
On one hand, Columbo is a police lieutenant, which is bad. On the other hand, Columbo makes more sense if you view him not as a cop but as some sort of supernatural entity, like a fey

“An Elephant Sitting Still,” Reviewed: A Young Chinese Filmmaker’s Masterly Portrait of Political and Intimate Despair
In depicting a society that inflicts cruelty and violence on a large scale and reflects it intimately, Hu Bo has created a crucial modern work of political cinema.

"Tarkovsky is religious and we are not… he always had hope; he believed in God. He’s much more innocent than us – than me. No, we have seen too many things to make his kind of film… he is much softer, much nicer. Rain in his films purifies people. In mine it just makes mud"

Edward Yang’s Yi Yi (2000) met the 21st century with a very different kind of millennium melancholia, a wise sentimentality in Taiwanese New Wave’s despondent realism and refinement. A perfect New Year’s movie then and now, 365 days as a tender current of sorrow, violence, growth, and peace.
