Wuthering Heights

1939

★★★ Rewatched

i know we’ll never get a good adaptation of wuthering heights but merle oberon is really trying to get us there with this one !! i don’t like how it handles the narrative and i hate everyone else but it’s moody and merle is MY cathy fr she’s feral

The Substance

★★ Watched

visually stunning and conceptually interesting. i get the appeal in that regard. but my god. completely politically reductive, incurious and uninspired. you could write a full thesis on how disappointing this movie is in its treatment of the gendered body, but i honestly don’t think it deserves the time or effort, since it obviously didn’t invest either into the exploration of its subject matter. 

coralie fargeat i promise your audience is not that fucking dumb. the conceit and oblivious misogyny…
