Oh … a perfect movie 😹

Watched on Tuesday May 13, 2025.

As Luis predicted, the word “cunty” fell many a time during this screening

Moral of the story: moving to Australia makes you unbelievably cringe and no one should ever do it

Struggled to follow, mostly my own fault 🙏

Is this what it feels like to die??

OH BUBBE!!!! FOR YOU ID DO ANYTHING!

I walked home in a shrouded, happy high-tech haze.

amazed at how lovingly this story unfolds

“Mythological white boy of America” - nico

I just love a beautifully shot train movie more than almost everything else in the world

THIS WAS FIRE, Ferdydurke for our time — and mom liked it #thankgod

Best movie about water of all time?

What I love about this movie is: it made me enamored and skeptical of St. F at the same time, it made me ire and pity, it made me both sorrowful and full of joy — which seems how a truly great movie about religion should make you feel

No easy dualities in Jancsó, constant movement, constant dance. Constant revolution? With each take, the movie dies and is reborn. Another freaking banger.

Unbelievable

I so badly want to be a porno enjoyer but there’s only so much fellatio I can watch with my bros in an hour and a half :(

I am terrified by this movie and what its wide, sun-dappled takes reveal: the arbitrariness of state violence, the torture of enclosure, disdain, powerlessness, hatred, love, terror, betrayal. The Round-Up is a close-up of state terror. We all ran away. What right do you have to judge anyone?

Fall in by fives. Form a square. About face. Forward march.

One of the most extraordinary movies I've ever seen. The circularities of power switching between Reds and Whites. Each time the power balance switches, an interrogation: What is your ethnicity? Do you speak Russian? Are you Red or White? There's too much in this movie for me to synthesize in one sitting. It's basically coeval with Andrei Rublev, which please, I need to know, was there any connection between the two? Does anyone know?

No respite in this movie. The singular moment of tenderness is followed by brutal death. The beautiful young people pierced through their hearts by a uniformed stake. Pitiless, unsentimental, the camera is constantly moving, often from a bird's-eye view. Are we in Andrei Rublev's hot air balloon? The movie doesn't tell you who to weep for, who to feel for, who to cling to. I can't help but weep for the youth of Ukraine, of Russia. "What are you? Georgian? Armenian? Hungarian." Can anybody really tell? 

There are no Reds or Whites here, only sick people, as the head nurse says.

1:22:46-1:24:26 When I first watched this movie two years ago, I couldn't stop thinking about this couple, their broad smiles, their twinkling eyes, being married on the beach, she from the beaches of Lake Michigan, he from the beaches of New Jersey. The two of them skipping together through the sand. His arm around her as he laughs, their faces shining, 45 years of inseparability, a joyful family swinging on a big garden swing. 

For some reason, I had ed a scene in this sequence where they were dancing together on the beach, so I went back to try and find it tonight, but I must have imagined it because no such scene exists. Instead, cutting away from the lucky couple there's a shot of Agnes, alone on the beach, face to face with a human-sized gold Buddha statue turning in the sand. They dance together, the statue and her, spinning round and round. At this point in her life, Demy and Agnes had just moved to LA and he left her. She was raising two kids alone, just barely scraping by and not getting much work, not as much as him in any case. After a decade he came back; she forgave everything, nursed him till his death. I'm glad that the scene I expected wasn't there, I'm glad it was Agnes twirling on the beach alone, as in her voiceover she its: I'm jealous of the couple, my friends who loved so early and so long.

Oh god… I’m so done with movies whose whole thing is “dreamlike”

Like dream (positive)

Oh wow… oh wow

Ok going into the subway car after this was a harrowing experience

Mr. Pattinson why are you talking like that

Ozu’s magic prolongs childhood!!!!

don’t know why the reviews have been so mixed on this when it’s so funny and enjoyable… and the misogyny (which btw is impossible to take seriously) makes it all the more so, sorry!!!!

I would wear Luca Marinelli’s face as a flesh mask

Thank you.

This was so funny + good + I love them all

Another banger. So intimate and alive. Each of these kids filled with a unique vivacity that hits you hard. Wiseman’s deepest, most loving portraits I’ve seen so far.

the beautiful GOAT in person. 🙏

Paddington: conquistador edition

Portrait of being a 20 year old woman and not yet having the tools to make yourself free (you were never taught) though you’re doing your best in the struggle towards them.

Like King Willem said in the post-screening q&a, “We’re always trying to find out what we’re doing—not just to be free but to make with what the hell we are and where the hell we are.” I ire this movie for wrestling with exactly what that means.
