  • Benedetta

    Benedetta 2021

    Watched 11 Nov 2021 2

    Verhoeven’s Marie Antoinette. A seething repudiation of the Catholic Church’s insular universe, and numerous, ironically blasphemous hypocrisies. The notion of eternal suffering and martyrdom as Godliness chafes painfully against the realities of earthly pleasure and the possibility of biblical mercy and spiritual salvation. 

    Faith fails to fully flourish surrounded by deceit and greed, but the body and soul never lie. Love is redemption. Through affection for one another, we can be closer to God.

  • Saint Omer

    Saint Omer 2022

    Rewatched 20 Dec 2022 2

    The monstrous mother recontextualized as an everyday human; a courtroom drama completely disinterested in guilt or innocence, choosing to find resonance in what’s said and left hanging in the air instead. Who would think a film about a child murderer could have so much grace and humanity, aided by two of the best performances of the year?
