Field notes
The homepage separates a personal canon—favourites, one film per director, and documentaries—from the larger ratings archive. Tarek describes ratings as judgments of craft, performances, and how a film comes together, and notes an interest in films that reward rewatches; the listed viewing range spans Kurosawa, Bergman, Nolan, and Indian cinema. The archive offers title/year search and rating, date, and title sorting, though its collection failed to load in the supplied capture.
