Some things in life need a bit of investment of time and patience, and some of the films above are like this. So slow down with these ones. They’re more like a chat over a cup of coffee between two good friends, and have a sense of humour as subtle as a whiff of a cuban cigar from a block away. But after that, as Tomas said in the first episode ever, ‘The ROI is gonna be SUPER HIGH.’
