No better better duo than Jazz and Nouvelle Vague🙂‍↕️

Possibly the most 3/5 film I’ve seen in minute, that’s not entirely a bad thing tbh, I got what I paid for which is to see Ana De Armas beating the shit outta ppl, and in that aspect I’m very pleased with what I saw. Now that is also to say don’t expect anything else from this film, the plot is basically John Wick 1+2, even down to the ending, Norman Reedus being severely underutilized and it’s clear that Keanu was only in it to sell tickets, personally wouldn’t recommend paying to see it in the theatre when there are so many better films that’s coming out this month.

I just can’t say 2001 is the most influential sci-fi film when that one shot of the spinner flying across the cityscape with the huge geisha hologram literally created the look of a whole new sub-genre. Whole film is just Ridley going god-mode for entire runtime🙂‍↕️

Not giving a rating simply because there’s no point in giving one, it’s as pointless as asking you to rate a post-game press conference. 
Weekend is a film that, and I can’t emphasize this enough, HATES being a film, it doesn’t follow à conventional film structure, though that’s to be expected from someone like Godard, it plays out more like a statement than anything else, stemming from a place of immense frustration, Godard became so angry at the world that he puts it to screen exactly how he thinks, no matter how ludicrous it would seem, wouldn’t recommend it personally but it’s certainly a one-of-à kind experience.

Bergman and Liv Ullman= automatic masterpiece

Errand Josephson was incredible as well, really love how much of this takes place inside a room , the feeling of claustrophobia and that we were not only being trapped with the characters themselves but also their inner thoughts, not the prettiest Bergman but definitely ranks among his most human ones.

Assembly cut ofc

Propaganda I’m NOT falling for:
This is a” bad” film, on a good day I might even put it above Aliens #allsimsaying

Bawling my eyes out FUCKKKKK😭😭😭😭

Dan Trachtenberg really saved this franchise, so stoked for Badlands.

Hurry Up Tomorrow( the album) is AOTY material and one of my favorite releases of the year.

Hurry Up Tomorrow( this abomination) is an atrocity.

That is all.

How mfs act after watching Heat. 

Amazing presentation, very reminiscing of Mafia 3 with Layton weaving in and out of documentary and fiction, great score as well.

Worth watching for the boat sequence alone, the atmosphere that Mizoguchi creates is indescribable, not to mention extremely impressive for the time being, great to see the female leads have their own arc and not just there to play second fiddle to the men, stellar performances from the cast as well.

They were suppose to be 16…? Props to Octavia for committing 100% to the role, got a few laughs outta me icl.

Many such cases unfortunately

The concept of Michael Haneke knowing who Eminem is……

There is an Arabic saying that rings truer after seeing this. 

I know Emma had no control over the decisions being made but c’mon man, how did Lily not sweep the entire awards season, also idk if this was a hot take but Scorsese should’ve won too instead of Nolan, just the sheer scale of it’s scope of this film is utterly incredible.

“It feels good because god has power, and if one does it enough times, one will become as god is”

-Manhunter( 1986)

No doubt the funniest Kurosawa I’ve seen so far, Mifune is just as cool and hilarious in this.

That conversation with the security has to be one of my favorite sequences in all of cinema, just seeing someone who’s so pessimistic about everything going back and forth with an optimist is just fascinating.
First Mike Leigh and I’m already hooked on his style.

Greatest video essay oat

Is the cure to male loneliness being a drifting ronin caught in between a conflict in some town during feudal Japan?

Very very cool premise and the philosophical questions it brings up are very reminiscent of what Scott would ask in Prometheus decades later, great Hurt performance as well.

“ For those we’ll never meet”

Best believe the rating WILL go up once I get around for a rewatch.
The way the second and third act did a whole 180 was just insane, just for those alone it’s really not crazy to say FR could be considered a top 3 entry of the franchise, that’s how good it was.

Also Pom Klenmentiff is the only woman ever, that is all.

Not giving a rating because it’s simply impossible to, I cannot say for certain theres any sort of” plot”, what I can say is from my own interpretation of what the filmmaker is trying say is sometimes we just need to slow down a bit, take in everything that’s around us as we hurry by, seriously now that I think about it? When was last time we actually stopped to appreciate the scenery around us, the chirping of birds and the smell of grass right after a downpour.
I would be lying if I said I enjoyed WATCHING this film but I cannot deny the filmmaker’s intend in making the most of ambience to tell the” story”.

“ No shame in hate”

The nastiest and meanest blockbuster since Alien: Covenant, would sacrifice most of my mutuals for another entry to the wasteland.

I’ve been trying to be to more positive in life so all I’ll say is Flo looked gorgeous in those outfits, Olivia too

Harry Styles retire asap.

I feel like Haneke is one of those filmmakers that even though some of his work might not resonate, you still have to respect him and his work on some thematic level, whether that’s technical or conceptual, and that’s exactly how I feel about Code Inconnu.
It’s just about indecipherable and incomplete, theres various scenes that makes you think is part of some bigger picture but in the end they serve no greater purpose other than being a vignette in the film, but it’s exactly those scenes that Haneke excels in, using the unknown to induce uncertainty and anxiety in the viewer. 
Code Inconnu isn’t a film meant to be understood at all, but one to be simply experienced. 

“ I’ll meet you there, Franz”

Breathtakingly gorgeous and visceral, beyond my understanding how this was shut out during awards season back then.

Probably the most accessible work of Antonioni’s, need to see this restored so bad, great soundtrack by Pink Floyd as well.

“ When was the last time you touched someone?”

Forgive my previous rating I was a fucking idiot for not seeing the light.

One of the most haunting scores ever, We accompany someone from birth, learning their first words, experiencing first love, sexual encounters, disabilities, peer pressure and gradually into something more sinister, ScarJo’s best performance.

Also really love how for a bit it turns into Paris, Texas lol.

“ You’re not made for human eyes”

Convinced if your film takes place in Italy there’s no way it’s gonna look anything less than gorgeous.

Really couldn’t care less about anything else when I’ve got prime Thandie Newton and Woo going god mode during the third act

Insanely well shot, lit and blocked( I mean yeah it’s Kurosawa ) Mifune continues to dazzle with his performance, I now have no problem calling him one of my favorite actors, first 30 minutes are some all timer stuff.

Dani is so kind for ending Christian’s suffering😁💯

The thing about a Purple Noon is that it’s an amazing thriller of its own but a terrible adaption of” The Talented Mr Ripley” by Patricia Highsmith. 
Delon’s Ripley was never in any sort of danger or situation that he was unsure of himself in, he easily manages to evade the police, Marge never suspects him not to mention having cut out tye process of Mr Greenleaf hiring him and how he came to meet Marge and Phillipe.

Delon is very charismatic tho and obviously the finest of the Ripleys but as I suspected Andrew Scott’s version remains definitive.

May this love find me

I really can’t say too much right now because I’m so overwhelmed with emotions but man….. those last 20 minutes might be my favorite with maybe only blade runner coming close, simply transcendental stuff.

Yeah as I expected Andrew Scott’s version is still my favorite and the definitive version of the Ripley story to me. Damon’s very good in this of course and the ing cast are amazing as well, was kinda surprised to see the Meredith and Peter storyline as they were not featured in both Purple Noon and the series, but a welcomed one nonetheless.

“Nearly a thousand years later, peace in the kingdom of heaven remains elusive”

I don’t normally rate series on here but my god this is one of THEE most gorgeous series I’ve seen, the cinematography is simply superb couple with the beautiful score and amazing performances from the main man himself and Dakota Fanning makes this instantly the definitive Ripley adaptation for me, Scott is genuinely so good in this it’s not even funny, how he didn’t sweep awards season is beyond me, still have to see Matt Damon’s version but I doubt he’ll top Scott’s for me, just a generational performance all around.

Final 20 minutes have some of the most visceral images ever put on screen, spike really a mad man.

French people( derogatory)

De Palma god mode obviously, one of the best looking blockbusters from 90s and cruise is just as cool as ever, Emmanuel Beart might be the most breathtaking woman on screen I genuinely gasped everytime she appeared.

Miss you mom

Florence Pugh the woman that you are.

Seems everyone’s kinda mixed on the editing choices but I really dug it, weaving in and out of present really made the eventual ing of Al that much more heartbreaking but Crowley still manages to leaves us with a fulfilling end, great performance form Garfield as well.

Watching this really made realize filmmaking and intelligence aren’t mutually exclusive, because my god are some of the answers given ludicrous, seriously, theres one guy that said cinema will be dying because ” there hasn’t been anything good on the screen” and then he proceeds to say he hasn’t been checking the new releases or going to the theatre🐶💔

Godard, Spielberg, Seidelman, Herzog, Fassbinder, Guney and especially Antonioni( the way he actually predicted streaming) are few of the sensible ones that actually gave real insights to the craft and the future of it.

One of those films that even if you don’t have a heavy affection for, you still can’t help but to be impressed by the technical aspects of it. No small feat of a accomplishment especially if you knew the difficulties Zulawski faced during production , very very cool premise and just an overall out of this world experience, never taken an edible in my life but I would imagine it’s something akin to watching this lmao.

“ All I see is you”

I can tell Viggo still in Nikolai mode here lmao

I’m not saying this my favorite of the year so far( sorry sinners) but it lowkey kinda is, also did the DiCaprio pointing meme when Fassbender spoke German.

Both Vittoria and Piero really has this sense of alienation from everyone around them, which is exactly what Antonioni set out to do, Vitti’s line” I wish I didn’t love you or that I loved you much more” perfectly encapsulates the indifference of their relationship, Antonioni still going to hell for doing blackface tho.

Had to run it back after seeing Spike’s trailer yesterday, Mifune is so fucking good in this, can’t wait to see Denzel Double-Dollying to see the pink smoke.
