The Power of Time
5 films
Time is the most powerful force in the world.
It hones a skill into mastery, freezes arrogance in its tracks, melts even the brightest brilliance, and heals the deepest wounds. Time is what makes us believe — and yet, its cruelty can leave us defenseless. As time watches over generations, we are left in awe, yearning to both embrace it and lean on it.
This curated selection of films begins with the power of time — bidding farewell to what’s lost in the past, while searching for what lies ahead.
Sometimes, we are trapped within fleeting seconds; other times, we gaze across a thousand-year flood of history, unsure where we’re headed.
This is, above all, a list that moved my heart. I hope these stories through time stir something in you too — or even spark a question:
What might a lifetime truly taste like?
