  again, one of the joys of going through Kaurismaki's filmography is seeing all these disparate influenced that he synthesizes into something unique. here, maybe it's the stillness of his style that invites the comparison, as well as the colors, but I kept thinking of Hockney, particularly his interiors and portraits

  Titane 2021

  ★★ Watched 03 Oct 2021 3

  two-thirds of the way through this emotionally dishonest chore, i was thinking about the many island pornos made by Joe D'Amato. in which are tons of fairly disgusting images, but i was thinking about why, as filthy and god-forsaken as they may be, they're not annoying. and its as simple as this: theyre without affect; either you're getting off on them or you're not.

  instead of trying to ape Denis or Cronenberg, maybe Ducournau should check out Erotic Nights of the Living Dead.

  some interesting stuff here about modern vs antiquated Hollywood methods but once again Peele becomes too taken with the logics and the paint-by-numbers of his metaphors to be suggestive at all. he's just not a poet, but this was a pretty fun time overall
