Nosferatu 2024

★★★★½ Watched 02 Jan 2025

Eggers has yet to miss; another astonishing period piece, meticulously put together with more best in class cinematography from Jarin Blaschke. Admittedly, it is a little slow in the first half, and has some pacing issues, but the second really escalates into an amalgam of cold, animalistic debauchery and bleak, sprawling death, propelled by a fine rendition from Lily-Rose Depp, which will surely go down as another superb, leading female, horror performance. Can't wait for the extended cut.
Watership Down 1978

★★★★ Watched 01 Jan 2025

One of the best and most harrowing animated films ever made. Beautiful watercolour-like backdrops, littered with visually striking and creative sequences throughout, accompanied by a gripping story that doesn't hold back at any point and fully respects its audience.

Eyes Wide Shut 1999

★★½ Watched 30 Nov 2024 2

A bit of a disappointment, was a lot tamer than I thought it would be and the story was just not that engaging to me, I was just waiting for something more profound or striking to happen, and it just did not materialise. Comfortably the least visually interesting Kubrick film too, quite dull for his standards. I will say though that despite not really being a Tom Cruise kinda guy, I did actually enjoy his performance, excellent and intense.
Paris, Texas 1984

★★★★★ Watched 12 Jul 2024

I had put off watching this for a while, and now completely regret taking so long, this really is a transcendent piece of filmmaking that's right up there in execution and heart with the best films ever made. Eager to check out more of Wenders' work. A must watch.
