skol!

utterly sauceless

really truly think carla is one of the best doing it these days, every time i watch one of her films i float a little. makes sense why some of the dreamier elements of this work so naturally. gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous

super my thing and embarrassed to realize this is my first jafar panahi. masterful all around and an eerily subtle descent into hell. could say this about 90% of these cannes films but a bit much for 8am 😵‍💫

i was so whatever about this going into it but it won me over almost immediately, that dick link CHARM. scratches that documentary now itch. love that the cannes audience reacted to each french new wave director appearance like it was a marvel movie. i’ll bite, i left inspired

surprised this isn’t talked about more often as one of spike lee’s essentials. incredibly layered, his most expressionistic from what i’ve seen, and a bit of a sampler platter for him as a filmmaker. thought ray allen was actually outstanding, thought the milla jovovich stuff was a total drag

This will change monthly, probably. Notes attached to each film.

1. First Reformed

   Like being hit by a giant wave in the ocean. An experience that'll take a moment to absorb and something I still haven't recovered from. Perhaps something I never will recover from. Influential from a filmmaking perspective, impactful on s deeply personal level. One of the most powerful and necessary pieces of film I've ever experienced.

2. Parasite
3. Climax
4. Moonlight

   This last decade I fell in love with film deeper than I ever had before, and I owe Moonlight for a lot of this. Not only through it's flawless script did I find myself emotionally connecting to a life so distant from mine, but it's approach stylistically gave me an indescribable yet nostalgic feeling I haven't found anywhere else.

5. Marriage Story

   Realest thing I've seen this decade.

6. Melancholia

   This helped me understand myself and everyone around me in the most obnoxious way possible. Wouldn't have it any other way.

7. Paterson

   I don’t know how I forgot this one while putting this list together. I’ll add some stuff to say about it later!

8. Whiplash

   Similar to Moonlight, one of the most perfect pieces of work to come out of the last decade. A film that feels like it knows everything about the artistic experience which is ironic considering how young Chazelle was when he made it. I'll be talking about it for years, a classic.

9. The Tree of Life

   I really don't want to write about The Tree of Life. In fact, I never want to write about The Tree of Life. This hit something inside of me, it understood something very personal. I want to be fragile with this film, I will not be watching it very often, maybe never again. It feels irresponsible to try and understand all of it.

10. Lady Bird

    As a film, it may not be as ground-breaking or as complex as the rest of the work on this list, but this film meant so much to me when it initially came out. I am extremely lucky that this film exists in my life.
