    Holy fuck, Kiéslowki destroyed my soul and made me spiral into depression in literally just 50 minutes with a simple story about a father, his extremely adorable son, sublime religious imagery and a damn too-green-illuminating computer. Now that's how you do European we-shall-all-die arthouse cinema (TV) for the masses.

    William Friedkin's SORCERER (1977) arrived the same year as George Lucas' STAR WARS and as the no-fucks-given director has remarked over the past years, there was a change in the current zeitgeist. A shift, some people deemed the end of the New Hollywood's auteur dominance that was so apparent during the 1970's.

    There's a lot of people-being-drowned-in-toilets scenes out there, and whenever I see one I think to myself: "If it was me I would struggle for a while and then play dead, only to gain momentum, get my head up and fight back". To this day I had never seen this done in a film so I just want to thank ENOLA HOLMES (2020) for finally doing the logical thing that only took 120 years of cinema. Well done! Besides forever changing the course of drowning-in-toilet-scenes this Sherlock Holmes spin-off is sweet and innocent without much at risk.
