Fando and Lis 1968
| In short: Fando and his paraplegic partner Liz embark on a surrealist quest to find the mystical city of Tar. Their sojourn spirals through cave cuckolding, arson jazz, force-feeding deviled eggs, blood beggars, mud people (of the non-flatulent kind), matricide, a drag queen directed makeover, flower grazing, body painting, junkyard straight-baiting, gender-fluid clergy, and the existential horrors of quarry-bound codependency.
You’re the best at dying!
| Verdict: First seeing it on a dingy bootleg VHS in a…

Skinamarink 2022
Reduced me to a child, hand over my mouth, tears in my eyes, a pit in my stomach. Surreal and familiar in the same stroke, liminal horror existing at the crossroads of comfortable, mundane surroundings and everything we can imagine might be in the darkness on the other side. It leaves you anticipating the revelation, begging to see something that might reduce the horror with its tangibility, but when it finally begins to reveal itself you can only shrink and cower and plead with it to stop.

The Passion of Joan of Arc 1928
***One of the best 150 films I have ever seen.***
If any critic, filmmaker or movie lover were ever put in a situation where he/she needs to prove to someone else that cinema was once an art form and that, nowadays, cinema actually ends up being a true art form several times, mostly because of the pretentious and empty garbage that has been made principally for the last two decades which has given the impression that cinema was only created…

Hobo with a Shotgun 2011
Joyita clase B
La pelicula tiene un humor absurdo, donde lo que hace gracia es el sinsentido y el “porque si” de casi cada decision tomada. Pero no es un film de los tres chiflados o algo por el estilo, es mas madura e inteligente que eso.
Los personajes son memorables, el final es bueno, el gore es asqueroso y los dialogos son memorables y pa cagarse de la risa. Me encanta que los colores esten saturadisimos toda la peli, y tambien me gusta que el trailer la hace parecer muy distinta de lo que es.

Allegro non troppo 1976

Rapture 1979
To begin, the idea of genius respond to a Romanticism topic: He who has a special ability which permits to see life a way other people can't, he who is related to freedom (Shiner). That's Pedro in my reading, who feels this rapture in his beginnings of filming. Rapture as a lexical-cognate of latin 'raptura', seizure and kidnapping, that's why the movie works so well. Barthes i.e has talked about the photography as a capture of an has-been-there, about the…

Rapture 1979
An addiction.
The ritualistic consumption of cinema; pushing play, searching for that next hit of exaltation in each frame until eventually, they begin to blend into one another. We devour the medium at a meteoric pace. What once brought us so much joy is now becoming harder and harder to sift through to find that high you remember so very vividly; the frames that venerate become more valuable, and desperately scarce. Finally, it gets to a point where you are…

Sweet Movie 1974
Delicious, scandalous, expressionistic and controversial Yugoslav provocateur Dusan Makavejev is clearly one of the most misunderstood poets of complete self-destruction. Sweet Movie is a film with such audacity, such gorgeous poetry, such supposedly "disturbing" and "nauseating" sequences, that any lover and supporter of all artistic expressions and the instantly implied subjectivity of both of the terms "art" and "beauty" will find ultimately impossible not to fall in love with. This complete cult masterpiece is arguably the sexiest and most gorgeous…

De Humani Corporis Fabrica 2022
Really really gross but I think that's because they're French. I bet in America our insides look nice.
