Mirrored Mind

2005

★★★½ Watched

A formally dazzling, structural piece. More than anything it reminded me of Philip K. Dick: his life and works.

Confessions

2010

★★★½ Watched

A coldhearted revenge tale. After the assured opening stretch it becomes less surefooted and involving, the Roegian format a little too showy. It all pays off in the finale however.

Call Me

1988

★★★ Watched

Must ire the chutzpah of any film that tries to convince you that oranges are a stimulating sexual aid, and creates what can only be described as Chekhov's fish tank.

Vampire's Kiss

1988

★★★ Watched

Only just got round to this: memed and gifed to death, this feels like it was intended as a dark 80s yuppie critique but through the sheer bravado of Cage's performance it became the manic, feverish, broad horror-comedy it is. Picturing any other actor in the lead is imagining a completely different film.
