    Close Your Eyes 2023

    Watched 15 Sep 2023

    Absolutely riveting. 

    It’s a film that is hard to penetrate at first, but once all the pieces are set, it works like a magic trick. The finale of this film may be the best scene of the year. 

    So much to discuss and break down. It’s a film about art as a tool for memory and confronting your ghosts. The use of music here is notable: there are 4 instances where music is played by characters in the film and…

  • Everything Everywhere All at Once

    Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 17 Jul 2022

    Hell yeah! This is the kind of exciting, energetic, deep without being heavy, indie (sort of) filmmaking we need more of in North America.

    I appreciate this film quite a bit more on this rewatch. If y'all are curious, I think Swiss Army man and this are toe to toe now. While I still feel like it's a tad too overwhelming and a tad too reliant on dialogue that sounds like platitudes, things made a lot more sense to me…

    At the beginning of the year, I remember wondering what were the highlights of French cinema in 2018. In a year with no favourite for the foreign language Oscar (not to mention that the film representing France was not a great choice), it was hard to think of many films…

  • Dick Johnson Is Dead

    Dick Johnson Is Dead 2020

    ★★★★ Watched 02 Oct 2020

    Dick Johnson is Dead.
    But Dick Johnson isn't dead.
    Has Dick Johnson died?
    When does Dick Johnson die? Is it when we believe it?
    Is it when he stops breathing, or when he stops being himself?

    Dick Johnson is Alive.
    Dick Johnson is with us.
    Is Dick Johnson really with us?
    When is someone alive and when is someone dead?
    Is recording Dick Johnson enough to keep him alive?

    Dick Johnson is in Heaven.
    But was Dick Johnson always in…
