    Gaza Mon Amour 2020

    ★★★★ Watched 17 Sep 2024 1

    wonderfully composed, pretty funny, very sweet. starring hiam abbass, my goat. the reality of the ongoing occupation and ethnic cleansing is, i think, pretty deftly woven into this otherwise pretty straightforward absurdist romcom. 

    i believe that Palestine deserves to be free. i think this is the only moral and logical viewpoint to have. a few days ago the NYPD opened fire in the middle of the subway in pursuit of a “fare evader” and shot 4 people - the fare…

    JFK 1991

    ★★★★★ Watched 15 Dec 2024

    watching this in 2024, you spend 200 minutes (if you watch the director’s cut, which i did) going “wow this is so resonant for so many different reasons, some of them maybe unintended” and then the “WHAT IS PAST IS PROLOGUE” hits you in those end credits, that’s cinema

    The Substance 2024

    ★★★★½ Watched 12 Dec 2024

    i actually think basically everybody is right about this one, from 0 stars to 5 stars, but i think anybody praising or criticizing this one for its politics/morals/philosophy (or lack thereof, and in any direction) is approaching it the wrong way. blood, guts, gags, margaret qualley, unserious satire, homage to lynch and cronenberg, great editing, fun premise. those are all really fun and good things that i happen to enjoy quite a bit
