    La Commune (Paris, 1871)

    Saw the 4-hour theatrical cut and not the 6-hour director's cut because I'm not a principled enough communist. I am doing a lot of self crit regarding this don't worry

    It's cool how we'll continue to live under the shadow of the thwarted Paris Commune forever!

  • Nickel Boys

    Nickel Boys

    I was nervous about the POV technique in the begining, but once you settle in it really works magic. Heard Ross give an interview where he said he wanted the camera to function as an organ, an extension of the body, and the result is truly engrossing.

    Fascinating and fitting that a photographer/documentarian would make such a formally audacious exercise in perspective that is also a critique of the camera and how it fixes Black people in its gaze.

    Queer

    As soon as Daniel Craig appeared onscreen, the older gentleman sitting next to me in the theater turned to me and said with sincere surprise and delight, "That's James Bond!"

    And then we proceeded to awkwardly sit side by side as James Bond sucked and fucked his way around Mexico City.

    Lizzie Borden could write Capital but Karl Marx couldn't make Working Girls
