Letterboxd — Your life in film

I carry a picture of Paul Schrader in my wallet.
(Re: Dark not the studio cut)

Probably the most accurate and important depiction of what it's like to live in the 21th century, with your head halfway up your own ass, having consumed way too much fiction and longing for something meaningful to happen and make sense of things.

Absolutely fucking gutting, a masterpiece straight through.

Ewwwwww,!!!! Mooooom!!!! Gaspar did his thing on the cinema screen agaaaainnn!

The director doesn't need your help, he can get off all by himself.
Just watch the movies he likes and skip his.

*contains multiple references to Morrissey.

After having seen this, you'll walk away thinking about THAT scene. One of those where Cage does something no other actor would even dare to think about.
In 2018, despite the almost monthly dose of forgettable VOD releases, the Cage Mythos is still alive and expanding after all.

James Cagney was such a singular screen presence, I'm always slightly awed watching him perform. This movie is beautiful, tender and really plays to his strengths.

Gilliam's still got it: making two-hour movies that, despite their utter hyperactivity, feel like they are four hours long.

Please stop talking about how long this took to get made.

I don't say things like this often but....really, there's no reason good enough to watch this abysmal relic in 2018. I thought I had some (Mitchum/Monroe/Preminger/Cinemascope) but I was proven wrong.

One of the saddest, greatest films I know. The shot of Lucero leaving the hotel while the lights in the hallway are shut off is one of my favorite moments in all of cinema.

Well, eh, they fucking did it guys. The best one yet.

Is it strange if I call Thanos the best performance of Brolin's career?

Hugo Claus makes like the Flemish Fassbinder, this has got some strong Chinese Roulette vibes but with considerably more vol-au-vent.
Mevrouw Praline fucking slays this movie.
