📖 Synopsis
In the neutral city of Casablanca during World War II, American Rick Blaine runs a café where European refugees gather in an attempt to obtain papers to emigrate to America. When his former love Ilsa arrives with her husband, the leader of the Czech Resistance, Rick must choose between the cynicism that has protected him and the ideals he abandoned. Michael Curtiz filmed in 1942, with the world at war, the most elegant love story in classic cinema.

9.5/10
★★★★★
Casablanca remains perfect decades later: unforgettable dialogue, unbeatable chemistry between Bogart and Bergman, and a finale that understands that sacrifice has more dignity than instinct. Classic cinema in its purest state.
