spectacular in design, in its portrait of human emotions and in its complexity, especially that of the dining scene. families should never sit so close to each other

he would’ve loved facebook

mystic, 8th house synastry, woman relationships, oddly quirky

one of those movies that make me want to be a much older woman. a simplistic masterpiece which shows ray's subtlety in drawing up warm characters which exude the fullness of life. a very romantic experience too, for reasons I cant seem to figure out

Jane Austen did not spend her whole life rejecting men to be represented like this

sobbing. i love how many thematic dilemmas were brought in for a tale that centres around love. the cinematography is beautiful (the wide angle shots!??? every single shot being perfectly thoughtful???) my experience watching this in an old empty theatre with the love of my life made it even more enduring, we sobbed into each other throughout the end. although the last part did slip out of its charm, monpura is probably the best bangladeshi movie i’ve seen yet. the use of the boat as a motive, the existential dilemma and the way it uses comedy to antagonise certain tropes, the sheer beauty of the main characters and the soundtrack are top class. there’s nothing else like it, it has the essence of bengali tales woven into every single scene (especially when the grandmother speaks in geetika, which is a integral part of rural folklore)

scary in a very mid 2000s paranormal psychological horror kinda way. the main character is insufferable and the esoteric is strong. also love that heather is going mad and still taking cute shots of the trees, she's just like me fr

incredible storytelling throughout the entire anthology because of the way it takes bengali folklore and allows it to live on through a contemporary lens. i feel that this entire series is important to viewers not because of it’s alluring horror but because it serves as one of the sole reasons art exists: to preserve a time and place in history that would otherwise seize to exist. by taking these generational tales and bringing them into existence in the present world, it es on a long legacy of bengali stories ed from generation to generation. the tone of the series shows beauty while also bringing something murky lurking in the back. the way the camera unfolds the story is incredible to watch and the story itself delves deeper into an existential horror that is embedded into superstition and the unnatural. the acting, word-play and sound design makes it come alive and for anybody who grew up obsessed with hearing about these spirits, this series reminds us that our demons never really go away when we get older

based on dostoevsky’s “white nights”, an interesting exploration of romantic tropes, especially that of an obsessed, tortured artist and his muse. a very soft, delicate story but not an exceptionally great one although there is a universal truth behind the relationship of the characters. the scenes of the city are also heavily romanticised without being too cheesy and the scene of the band on the boat is mesmerising. it’s sweet and also kind of tragic, as is romance

very gripping in the way the story flows but felt kinda gimmicky n had little to say overall. could’ve taken a unique approach to this type of traditional concept w the multiple realities but the story kind of lost its appeal near the end and became simply confusing

every time i watch this movie i realise i’m just like his phil collins monologue but with radiohead’s in rainbows and that’s on mimicking the men i was attracted to in my youth who probably took this movie as their blueprint and also the fact that some ppl completely miss how much of a satirical masterpiece of a movie this is how can you watch it in any context that isn’t pure fucking comedy like seriously the business card scene???? i need to return some videotapes???? why did the atm tell him to feed it a cat?????

the blue print for my 2014 Tumblr era and maybe shes coming back <3

An allegorical depiction of filmmaking and the dilemma of a crew caught between creation and morality. this one rly plays with the way cinema employs illusions such as the clever charms of an absolute man who is equally deranged and idealistic . extremely gory which made me so uneasy please be warned before u get into watching this because there is a lot of violence. I really dig mockumentaries & this one took a completely different approach its fresh and kinda disgusting and I loved it

hes so kafkaesque

it’s whatever…..

Watched this for the second time today. My first viewing was in an empty theatre on a really strange day in my life. Needless to say that the performance in this movie is spot on, the way these actors (even the little girl!!!??) embodied the complexity of the characters remains unbelievable to me even second time around.

The icy blue colour palette of the movie is done breathtakingly and whoever did the sound is a genius. I love the way this movie brought in important aspects of morality in context to the social climate in dhaka. The story shows us characters that can become so questionable and even difficult to watch (the scene where she splashes water on her face like 300 times, geez) but in doing so, it gives us a look into the different perspectives that shape our world and experiences, the grey areas between good and bad, the frustration that festers in the hearts of girls faced with social injustices as a result of institutions that don't even protect them, the beauty and pain that comes with motherhood.

I do still think that the story could've been more revolutionary if there was a way around some of the incoherent and lengthy scenes. For how deeply political these discussions are, I wish the message this movie delivered was more clear cut. I think as a meditation on the horror victims face in situations like this, in a city like this, it shows us a truth about the layers of abuse and psychological turmoil women face. An incredible first debut and a haunting performance from Badhon.

so theatrical, witty and full of joy. i watched it next to a little kid and realised ray’s political satire take succeeds in being both hilarious and fun for kids but also equally enjoyable for a mature audience owing to the way it confronts things like state oppression and exploitative regimes. the story is so energetic and almost has a language of its own - nearly all the dialogues rhyme and flow like a poem. the writing and even the lyrics to the songs are reminiscent of the beauty of bengali folklore.

couldnt help but find some type of resemblance between the heerak raja and the kid in ray’s 1964 short two. in some parallel universe they are probably the same person…

the common man will always rise above and rebel against the oppressor - a truth that was relevant in the 80s and is just as relevant today.

perhaps this is a new problematic fave… aesthetically speaking, i’m such a sucker for the artsy tuscan summer vibe and the complete deviation from realism (i mean.. yall had non trauma inducing first times…?) i adore that this movie left me feeling dreamier than usual. love love love liv tyler but she deserved more than the empty pure virgin appeal.

can’t wait to romanticise the fuck out of my life and obsess over this soundtrack for the next few weeks.

i’m here for the outfits tater tots

watched this while tripping on acid all by myself and it has to be the most immersive world-of-its-own art style i’ve seen.

“i wish tranquility for the world and myself”

a masterpiece in the selflessness of our microscopic existence.

i’m the half ballsack bug

“ive heard about you” literally the most painful lynchian moment in all of television history

im just like special agent dale cooper not because i like my bacon cremated but because i too love  documenting myself saying silly little things not in a fictional detective kind of way but in a campy female hysteria melodramatic tortured artist kind of way

WHO LET YALL DO BIGGIE SMALLS LIKE THAT

A kafka-esque almost nightmarish and comedic adventure that i thoroughly enjoyed all the way through. Neon lights, sculptures, Soho streets shown through perfect pacing, the whole movie has such a stylistic and almost surreal element that needs little analysis.

There’s a cheeky little scene that hints at the name of the movie, side characters that don’t dissolve into the background, the juxtaposition of the opening scene at his job (which almost feels like purgatory) and the ending, is seamless and even relieving to see. There’s a laughable undertone when we see Paul explain his night to someone else, scripted so hysterically that even he realises his own absurdity. The camera moves with such daring ease that it takes up the role of the narrator.

Many of my beloved movies epitomise a dream-state and this one surprisingly falls into the same category because of the way it blurs normality with the absurd and consciousness as it drifts away with the dawn of night. Even with a main that is painfully clumsy, Scorsese manages to get us to empathise with him and leaves us with a polished and energetic masterpiece

“At one point, you’ve got it, then you lose it. Then it’s gone for ever.”

A soundtrack disc with Iggy Pop’s ‘Lust for Life’ in the opening, Ewan McGregor in a crop top, a pseudo-dining experience with heroin on the menu, the most truthful portrait of the horror of rehabilitation (if you’ve ever been stuck to your bed during recovery, you know) — all of it flows seamlessly from torturous social realism to completely surrealist, even comedic cinematic sequences. This movie walks on a tight rope of unwavering styles with so much ease, equally witty and wounding, timeless and eloquent.

I have seen few films that can achieve showing the gritty truth behind drug addiction without it relying on the glorification of the drug as a crutch, this one instead commits to its material in depicting both the ecstasy and agony of disillusionment driven by addiction through a plot that feels human above all else, often too human to the point where you kind of want to crawl out of your skin (the toilet scene and the dead baby in the crib literally made me gag a few times) what’s important is that the plot also eventually carries its characters out of the mire.

The social climate of the movie, 1980s Britain governed by Thatcher, contextualises its commentary on the desolation of the working class, of a lost youth, in the face of a government’s distrust that Thatcher was responsible for (“there is no society!”, a revision of thatcher saying “no such thing as society”) Trainspotting captures a culture relevant to its time and place — the birth of the 90s artistic Brit-Pop movement in all it’s informative and dark glory, for what is left to turn to besides art as a means to channel our retaliation and make room for hope?

This one made a special place in my heart as someone that to this day battles addiction, I will be thinking about this for a couple days.

bi panic bi panic bi panic

this has been on my list for so long and i loved it, an addition to the recent movies i’ve watched that don’t fear it’s audience. little hesitation, draws up a cinematic world of its own. definitely doesn’t carry the substantial character of his other works but paints a beautiful portrait of the mania of city life through cinematic excellence. i love love love the shifting filters, the frantic framing and his cuts into the hand held camera. just overall having a cigarette late at night in ur tiny apartment in a busy city vibes and then dreaming abt takeshi kaneshiro for a solid couple hours

im literally crying. what the fuck

silence as a gesture during the artistic process, tilda swinton as lady ottoline morrell in GLAMOROUSLY theatrical outfits and the whole movie was shot in front of a single black background need i say more?????

me and the girls after we get the vaccine

ok but for reals, why cant we have teen witch movies that don’t pit girls against each other in the end??? this deserved a better ending

Watched this last night and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. So beautifully composed, every single frame is a work of art. Some parts were heavily provocative and portrayed violence that is difficult to tolerate but it has a soul of its own regardless. Erotic films are a significant part of 1960s and 1970s japanese cinema but this one is among the few that redefined possibilities within the genre. While the film doesn’t give us many answers, it is undeniably challenging in a revelatory and liberatory manner. A polarizing psychadelic extravaganza full of suffering. However, it depicts how beauty can blossom out of pain, the ability of humans - and especially women - to persevere despite the grotesque realities that we are subjected to.
