Mantis42 posted:Third Man definitely has a downer ending but I think the main guy ended up in a better spot than the arctic. e: now that i think on it, the third man with a happy ending is essentially just altman's the long goodbye (complete with visual reference) Coaaab fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Jun 20, 2022 |

in my room (ulrich kohler, 2018) - go in as blind as possible, even a synopsis spoils too much. starts out almost nondescript, then develops into a fairly common conceit seen across fiction that here is given a european arthouse sheen. the ultimate point of this film is well-observed and bitterly amusing. avoid if you don't like animal death (though I think none of them actually died?)

mutantIke posted:Also just got out of Tár. Incredibly funny movie. One of the best "punchline endings" I've ever seen. Definitely worth seeing in a theater so that you don't fall asleep in the very slow second hour the banshees of inisherin - the war of the roses of bromances. the character arc of colin farrell's eyes & brows probably outdoes 90% of the performances coming out this year

aftersun (2022) - get on the charlotte wells bandwagon now cause she's gonna be a big loving deal very very soon. quietly devastating parent/child drama that's immaculately conceived and acted eo (2022) - au hasard balthazar reconceived as a dark/bleak comedy. which really isn't that much of a left turn from the bresson. but the cinematography is drawn from a much broader/modern palette and gets wild from moment one and periodically throughout the picture (plenty of donkey POV shots!) making it more "fun" to look at

checkplease posted:Blackberry it was pretty fun watching Glen Howerton rage at nerds and yell at them to get to work. Good to see his skills on the big screen finally. Jay Burachel was great also and the film did a great job in selling how it all fell apart (arrogance really) for them. This is the first time I have seen a film by Mathew Johnson. He’s got this interesting style that can switch between intimate and voyeuristic. I’ll have to check out more of him in the future.

garfield was actually nominated for best actor that year but for hacksaw ridge (casey affleck won with denzel being silently pissed off) some people gripe about garfield being the lead (for silence) while adam driver was right there, but I remember him doing good in that movie

Gaius Marius posted:Killers of the Flower Moon Watching this a second time makes the beginning so much more painful. When the sisters are all hanging out and one of them points out that Ernest want's Mollie's Money. She responds of course and then Minnie replies that his uncle already has money, he's not looking for cash he's in love. And the worst part is it is true. Ernest had everything he wanted. A Woman he loved, money, respect in town, a big house and lots of nice things, wonderful children. And he fucks it all up for just a little more.

fat city (john huston, 1972) - new hollywood to the bone in all its grimy, seedy glory (that watery ketchup made me wince in revulsion) yet helmed by one of the stalwarts of the studio era. amateur boxing has never looked like such a hideous sideshow dredged from the bowels of the earth. jeff daniels, baby-faced & bright-eyed with a touch of dimness. stacy keach, like a flat-faced nicholson, 30 going on 45. susan tyrell is the bonafide scene stealer. in seeking out additional details about this film, i came upon across this wild-rear end interview/article about tyrell's career, trigger warning spoilers for huston being gross:LA Weekly article from 2000 posted:“Now he’s on top of me, and it was like the sagging flesh of a balloon, like an old balloon, and he held my tits and he was saying, ‘Oh my God. Oh my God. You’re beau-tiful!’ And I looked down at my tits, and I thought, ‘I am. I am beautiful.’ With the waves crashing against the cliffs below. I don’t even remember him being inside me. I don’t even think he got it up and got inside me, you know? He was just this thing on top of me. I can’t describe to you how horrible it was . . . but I’d rather gently caress John Huston any day than some lame director.

the plains (david easteal, 2022) - like a heady yet gentle mixture of jeanne dielman, my dinner with andre, and the driving scenes from solaris, punctuated with bursts of breathtaking drone footage. i would say it's a distillation of an office drone's daily commute home, but since it goes on for three hours, it's more of a holistic experience of such. it gets at the essence of conversation with a coworker you exchange pleasantries with but not much closer than that, equal parts interesting, tedious, inquisitive, and just shooting the poo poo. i kind of adored it for what it was.
