This reminded me a lot of The Holy Mountain (Jodorowsky), with plenty of 60s Demy and Godard. Also enjoyed the nod to Tati's Playtime with the Mattel HQ. This has a lovely balance of art and commerce, while doesn't dilute its satirical message (much like RoboCop). One of the best-photographed and lit films I've seen in a while, every performance is wonderful, and I'm going to have to watch it again to check out all the fascinating production design details. I'm still giving this high marks, despite it calling me out personally at least twice.

Concerning the 70mm discussion... Barbie was shot entirely with the Arri Alexa 65, which has the same size sensor as standard 65mm film and captures about 6.5K of horizontal pixels (roughly 2.4x the resolution of a 4K DCP). Saw this a second time while on shrooms, this really has amazing rewatch value.

Gloria's husband comes off as perfectly nice, just dorky. I can identify with that. Just like the jokes around the Kens, there's nothing mean, it's all relatable. My wife and I have been repeating "HERE, LET ME SHOW YOU" often.

Speleothing posted:I don't think the narrator added anything to the movie. If I saw it a second time, I'd like to see a no-narrator cut Helen Mirren narrating is absolutely a nod to Documentary Now! and nobody can convince me otherwise.
