Letter Never Sent is one of the most stunningly photographed films I've ever seen. Plays with too much propaganda purpose for my liking. The chars and story are a little 2D, but it works. All-time beautiful. 8+/10.

When Myrtle was young, she could tap into her emotions with ease. But, as the middle-aged star of a play about age diminishing a woman's power, her talent is on the decline. After a show, she witnesses the death of a adoring young fan. Is this a problem or a solution? 8.5/10.

Babette's Feast tells the story of a small 19th c religious community on the Denmark coast, and the lifelong impact two sisters have on two male visitors. The final act is a glorious payoff that's unexpectedly funny and touching. 8.5/10.

Watched two important Cassavetes films: Shadows & Faces. Shadows is his 1st film, controversially feat race, & trailblazed a path for American indep films. 8+/10. Faces is a clear distillation of his verite style. More compelled by the camera than the story, tho. 8.5/10.

I see a lot of variation in Coens' filmography rankings. So many good films, so few clunkers (I haven't seen any clunkers). Here is my Coens ranking. Fargo and NCFOM are 1A/1B. I honestly need re-watches. What's your ranking?

I'm not sure I've seen a film as packed with ethical dilemmas as A Separation. The title dilemma deals with a family choice. But, as the story stretches, chars lie, accuse, cheat, testify, sacrifice and honor. Layered, tense storytelling. 8.5/10.

I'll probably release my 350 Greatest Films list in the next week. I'm considering going out to 400 Greatest, actually. It will be much diff than the old list currently pinned. I've done a ton of re-watches (esp films I hadn't seen in years) and first watches since then.

"I don't know who you are." A Woman Under the Influence is a miracle. How can a film capture & immerse you in so many layered human dynamics? So much tragedy, tension, obliviousness, misguided intent, awkwardness, on and on? Rowlands was unbelievable. Singular achievement. 10/10.

I just watched this traumatizing 10/10. Holy crap. One of the greatest films I've ever seen.

I watched Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville & Band of Outsiders this weekend. They'd rate about the same for me (8+/10), w a lean toward Alphaville. A little pretentious, but also more interesting. It's a commentary on the state of modern man wrapped in a .. noir ... sci-fi... farce.

Underrated. Really enjoyed this.

"What we see and what we seem are but a dream". Thus begins the mysterious & seductive Picnic at Hanging Rock. Something is affecting the youth on Valentine's Day in the Outback. Electromagnetism? Mysticism? Something pagan, criminal or supernatural? Answers not provided. 8.5/10.

Wanda - meticulously planned & edited character study. Primer - fast paced, challenging sci-fi. News from Home - docudrama contrasts the powerful but alienating cityscape of NYC against letters from home. The most complete and best executed vision of the 3, IMO.

Low budget recents: a thread. 3 very diff films. News from Home made my 350 Greatest list. The other 2 barely missed.

Images puts you in the mind of a schizophrenic woman named Cathryn. Nightmarish hallucinations and timeline distortions skew her reality. She cobbles together a life, though others seem a bit oblivious. Coping requires drastic measures. 8+/10.

I don't want to give any spoilers away. I did like this, though. 8/10. How does this rank in your Villeneuve list? My spidey-sense 😁 tells me this one might be devisive. There are several I haven't seen, but I'd go: BR 2049 Arrival Enemy Dune
