Past Lives works because Celine Song never lets you forget the logistics of time and geography — and then reveals, slowly, that logistics is just the name we give to grief when we're trying to be rational about it.
A film diary that scores screenplay separately from direction, keeps your rewatch history, and gives you a place to write — not just rate.

Why another film tracker?
You walked out of Aftersun and spent the next hour trying to explain to yourself what you'd just watched. You opened Letterboxd, looked at the star rating options, and none of them fit. You wanted to separate what the film did visually from what it did emotionally. You wanted somewhere to write — not somewhere to score.
Relicário was built by people who stay for the credits. Who have a list of "films for when you're lost" and another for "films that changed something." Who write about what they watched — not for engagement, not for followers, but because some films deserve a proper response.

"The last scene with the dog: did you leave convinced she's guilty or not guilty? I'm convinced the film never intended to give you the answer."
The Feed
No algorithm. No photo of popcorn. No engagement bait. Text-first, chronological, written by people who take cinema seriously and aren't performing it for anyone.
Past Lives works because Celine Song never lets you forget the logistics of time and geography — and then reveals, slowly, that logistics is just the name we give to grief when we're trying to be rational about it.
Films for the night you can't sleep: Stalker, Drive My Car, Aftersun, The Quiet Girl. In no particular order. Start with whichever one your gut says.
Why does every Tarkovsky review begin by warning you he's slow? No viewer in the world needs that disclaimer. Maybe film criticism has been writing for itself for thirty years.
The dog's behavior across the film is the only reliable narrator in Anatomy of a Fall. Three specific moments — and they're more consistent than any witness testimony. Thread.

Your profile has a field in your own words — a few short lines about what you love, what you defend, what you refuse to admit. Because the best part of a tracker isn't the list — it's the person behind it.

They convert to an overall score on a 0–10 scale. You can then break them into the multi-dimensional system at your own pace.
Every time you watch a film, Relicário saves a new entry with date and rating. You can see how your view of a film changed over years — which is often the most interesting part.
Yes, on the roadmap. Netflix, Prime, Max and Apple TV+ are being built. You can mark manually from day one.
etterboxd saved cinema on the internet. That's true. For almost a decade, it was the only network where it still made sense to write about film — no clickbait, no listicle formula, no algorithm yanking attention by the collar. They did work nobody else was doing.
But Letterboxd was built in New Zealand, in English, for people who think about film in English. The interface was calibrated for another market. The references are from there. The trending lists too. You use it well — but you use it like someone speaking a language that isn't their first.
Relicário was built for people who have a lot to say and prefer to say it in Portuguese. For those who want a place that understands the difference between watching and keeping. For those who left the cinema in silence and needed a space that understood that silence.
A reliquary holds what matters. Not everything — only what has value.
We welcome Tarkovsky, Kurosawa, Wenders, Scorsese with the same care as Glauber Rocha and Suzana Amaral. But from here. We don't want to be the biggest film tracker.
We want to be the one you open when the film ends and the silence lasts longer than you expected.
