Why did someone like Gorbachev—who tried so hard to reform his country—ultimately meet a dramatic and tragic end? Why did a Chinese teenager, once full of unquestioning patriotism, become a disillusioned critic of society? And how does a taxidermist, working with lifeless animals, come to glimpse the mysterious kingdom of death? The team at Chichi’s Notes has handpicked 13 standout documentaries from Giloo—recommended for those who care about current affairs and remain endlessly curious about the world. Whether you're drawn to politics, identity, science, or the unseen corners of society, this collection offers something for every thoughtful viewer.
Some sacrifice countless lives for personal gain. Others, in the darkest and most fragile moments, reveal the noblest of virtues. From the abandoned remains of concentration camps, to journalists risking everything on the frontlines of the Middle East, to fractured peoples grappling with identity— these stories are haunting testimonies against the atrocities of humankind. Giloo presents five powerful documentaries that confront unhealed traumas. As long as pain persists, war cannot truly be over.
What makes a classic a classic is its ability to awaken a sense of longing for times past. Timeless and ever-enchanting, classics are meant to be savored, again and again.
"I think I’ve always longed for a sound that doesn’t fade—a sound that lasts, that never weakens. You could say it’s the opposite of the piano, because it doesn’t disappear. It feels eternal, almost like a literary metaphor." — Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda
After an eight-year hiatus, Echo is back, continuing to praise the essence of life with their beloved rock music. Yet, behind the music, each member has undergone different life experiences. Through this film selection, we aim to offer a deeper understanding of the unique Echo Band. Literature, North Korea, and Ryuichi Sakamoto are all keywords that each band member has embraced. Through these visual records, you'll also get a glimpse into the members' private film preferences.
Sometimes, music captures a fleeting moment more fully than images ever could. The piano theme from Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence suspends time, drifting through the gunpowder-scented air of Java. Takeshi Kobayashi’s lush symphonies send the Swallowtail Butterfly fluttering, while a mysterious chanteuse hums the blurred lines between reality and youth. In Maborosi, guitar and erhu compose a haunting melancholy. Hop aboard Giloo’s time machine, built from melody and memory, and return to every moment that once moved you.
The erotic classic The Lover boldly pushes the boundaries of sensual cinema. Freaks blends horror and surrealism into a provocative spectacle of visual violence and beauty. In In the Realm of the Senses, an unforgettable depiction of suffocating, all-consuming desire secures its place in film history. In Oasis, two marginalized individuals find a love purer than anything the world around them can understand. And in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Bowie share the screen—and a legendary, forbidden kiss. These films dare to confront desire, taboo, and tenderness—through shock, poetry, and unforgettable images.
