Duets

★★ Watched

I’m still waiting for the ultimate film about karaoke. This was such a mess.

The Fearless Vampire Killers

1967

★★★ Watched

Polanski's "The Fearless Vampire Killers" (1967) is a cinematic enigma that combines enchantment and unease seamlessly. Genuine moments between the professor and his assistant add profound depth; however, a persistent male gaze hangs over the film, reflecting Polanski's tumultuous history.

Exceptional production design immerses us in 18th-century Eastern Europe, and Sharon Tate's magnetic allure transcends sexual orientation. The film's legacy, heightened by an unexpected German musical adaptation featuring "Total Eclipse of the Heart," retains its charm.

Beware of a frustrating yet compelling cinematic cliffhanger ending.
