The Apartment by Billy Wilder but there's no apartment and she's dumber than Miss Kubelik.
I love the way everything looks.
If that were me I'd show her who really means business in the suicide field

Four Nights of a Dreamer 1971

Bed and Board 1970
Bed and Board feels like a Wes Anderson rom-com 20some years before Wes Anderson. A bizarre, subtle (maybe the right word is dry) comedy about two weird sweet people. Truffaut makes the easiest shots so much more interesting and entertaining than they should be.
Simple and great lighting, the colors make everything stand out.
Jean-Pierre Léaud is funny and he does nothing, Claude Jade is great and too beautiful to be real.
And as man usually does, he'd rather be with a hooker than change for the woman he loves.

The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog 1927
I saw Alfred Hitchcock's take on Marie Belloc Lowndes's novel a few years ago and it was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I wasn't much into silent movies yet. The Lodger was the first time I understood a silent movie could be great and it's one of my favorites.
Quite different from the novel, it still manages to give a disturbing and lovely feeling altogether, just like the novel.
Uncle Alfred was ahead of his time and already displaying… -
Conclave 2024
terrific church drama with the intensity and energy of a thriller that lowkey turns into a comedy in the last 15 minutes.
Amazing perfomances all around. It needed more Isabella Rossellini.Like Better Call Saul did before, Conclave shows you one of the solutions to the terrible flat lighting of new era/digital filmmaking is playing with colors and creating fantastic sets.

I'm Not There 2007
not sure about what happened here, but His Bobness was singing in the middle of scenes and that's one sneaky way to make a good movie. Cate Blanchett is more Bob Dylan in the 60s than Bob Dylan in the 60s was.

Nosferatu 2024
craziest movie of 2024
a unique feeling that has been nowhere to be found in cinema maybe since The Witch, and of course it was a Robert Eggers movie. And just as nowhere to be found is Bill Skarsgård in that costume. What the fuck. Is that his real voice?
A very odd and great look.
Lily Rose Depp is amazing. Nicholas Hoult had an outstanding year. Dafoe is Dafoe.
Overall not quite the masterpiece I was expecting, nor the masterpiece I was ready to call it in the first act. A fantastic movie and a different kind of experience nonetheless.
I love movies

The Brutalist 2024
It can't be. This his can't be possible.
Movies can look like movies again?A year after Oppenheimer we're blessed with another ambitious movie about the ambition of man, from an ambitious artist. It does vaguely resemble the Manhattan Project for a while, or something close.
Laszló Tóth is a fragile and flawed genius, like Robert J.
Felicity Jones has her own Kitty Oppenheimer moment in the end, but she already steals the scene ever since she gets off that… -
A Complete Unknown 2024
I was surprised. Timothy's star power is real. I didn't give a damn about Bob Dylan until 2 hours ago (more like 4, had to get home).
It works because it's a vibe. If you catch on the vibe Timothy just carries it on his shoulder and it's a pleasure to watch. In fact I wasn't into it at all for the first 20 minutes. Give movies their time, always.
I could really rewatch it and enjoy it so much… -
Antichrist 2009
Antichrist is an experience. It was definitely a strange and shocking one for me.
I don't know what to make of it as a movie.
As a piece of art, an extreme representation of post traumatic stress disorder and possibly a metaphor for an abusive relationship, it's interesting and ridicolously on point. Maybe on a metaphorical sense. At least I hope.
I sure could understand what Willem Defoe had in his eyes when his crazy wife was trying to stab… -
I Saw the TV Glow 2024
I don't know what it is about this movie but I got hypnotized for 100 minutes

Dune: Part Two 2024
still one of the greatest 3rd acts ever.
still an unbelievably powerful perfomance from Timothy Chalamet.
still a 10/10 perfomance from the entire cast.
still the best score since Oppenheimer.
still, Hans Zimmer is one of the greatest.
still some gorgeous shots from Villenueve and Fraser that not many people have matched in movies of this scope since og Star Wars.
still the greatest movie of the year, by far. -
Anora 2024
Sean Baker really needs to go home with an award that night when all eyes will be on Brady Corbet, Coralie Fargeat and hopefully Villenueve, because he tricked all of you into believing it's a movie about the inevitable trauma, internal struggle and life of a sex worker.
This is about the average guy's hidden dream to rescue a prostitute and marry her and it isn't even subtle. It happens twice.It's a nice movie tho. Sean Baker has that hangout and simplicity vibe in him.
