The Last Duel 2021
A low-rent Rashomon, but with impeccable production. Visually, it's amazing and the performances are good, but the storytelling kind of lost me

The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) 2017
I identify with all of Dustin Hoffman's obscure septugenarian artist class signaler namedrops: Stroszek, Buddenbrooks, trashing shitty video art installations at MoMA...
Good performances, good family dynamics, funny... only slightly cheesy. Another solid Baumbach effort.

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
you can totally tell that this was directed by the same people who made the music video for lil jon & dj snake's 'turn down for what'
-
Cameraperson 2016
personal memoir of documentary subjects shot across a career. structured as short vignettes each beginning with a title card introducing the location in the world and some brief context.
never seen anything like it. lots of variety, but I appreciated the first half more than the second.

O-Bi, O-Ba: The End of Civilization 1985
post apocalyptic sci-fi!
very fun. amazed that someone could rise up through the soviet-era Polish political system and direct such a cool film with such a bleak critique of human bureaucracies
-
The Pass 1988
The Soviets produced some super cool animated sci-fi!
"Sixteen years after their spaceship crashes on a desolate, monster-heavy planet, a group of survivors sets out on an ill-fated mission of self-preservation involving condensed milk, space dragons and goatworms"
