PURE RAGE BAIT
…
Loooooved all the cameos though!

I love when people are so ionate about things they love, like this restaurant

great documentary! lynch was an absolute legend and genius (as we all know) and i’m so glad he became as celebrated as he did

this also reminded me that i actually neeeeed to finish twin peaks season 2, so that i can finally watch fire walk with me, because like hello what’s taking me so long

in my defense i’m at the alleged episode 10-17 dip so i guess that’s what’s scaring me off, episode 9 was just so perfect… but i guess i’ll just power through them, or maybe my expectations are so low that i’ll like them despite the rumours, we’ll see…

anyways, love you lynch, sorry for the rant and i’m going to bed

Jof is just a goofy little guy, I love him

blah blah blah… proper name, place name, backstory stuff 

(florence pugh)

I also want a penguin therapist

PEAKKKKKKK 
EVERYTHING PEAKKKKK
SUCH A BLAST
2025 BANGERS ARE COMING FULL FORCE 
YEP YEP YEP

The dream sequence is so lynchian

Well well well… this definitely aged

As I was watching this I thought to myself that Sean Baker would really like this film, and I then I saw that he had already logged it a while ago. I agree with him when he says that Working Girls is a great and trailblazing portrayal of the day-to-day lives of sex workers! I really loved the realism style.

One room was enough, I felt every emotion anyway. 

INCREDIBLE performance by Margit Carstensen.

Kore-eda once again makes the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful film about parenthood and childhood.

i would also trust cate blanchett with my life

the wolf scene is my lifeline

Life is so special, I’m just happy to be here. 

Another Kurosawa masterclass!

I have no idea why this is so low on many PTA ranked lists, it’s a blast!

Joaquin Phoenix is amazing, he fits so perfectly into PTA’s films. The rest of the cast was great too! Martin Short’s cameo was really fun.

The mystery in itself was so all over the place and chaotic and I loved every second of it.

Heartbreaking film. Giulietta Masina’s performance was incredible: charmingly chaotic and equally emotional.

This was a great introduction to Fellini!

Scene with the wind was breathtaking, whole film feels like a dream

i’m team edward and jacob getting together instead

BELLA AND ALICE SHOULD BE CANON. THE GAZE. THE GAZE.

RADIOHEAD MENTIONED????!!!!

Everyone matches each other’s freak in this movie and that I can wholeheartedly . Edward’s running is so goofy, I’m obsessed.

I love when plays and performances are incorporated into films, especially when they reflect the current emotions of the characters. Beautiful, beautiful film.

Thailand side quest was crazy

This genuinely means so much to me. John is one of my favourite directors ever, and Gena is my favourite actress. I think about their relationship and work ethic very often and this documentary gives great insight into just that. Here are some of my favourite quotes:

“…somehow I got hooked [on films] - I got hooked on it being an expression; a substitute for living.  And a good one.  I don’t know how to live, I don’t how to dress or get on with people; I don’t understand all that stuff.”

“John's life is a Cassavetes film.”

“I hate entertainment.”

"I am ignorant, but I have feelings."

”I think what everybody needs is a way to say ‘where and how can I love, how can I be in love so that I can live with some degree of peace?’”

“Filmmakers should be aware that they don’t know anything.”

"That's all I'm interested in. It's love."

Who needs Fight Club when you can watch Colin Firth and Hugh Grant hit each other instead?

Second Jim Jarmusch film and I’m starting to really like his style. I loveeeee conversations and realism and just authentic human interaction in general, which Jarmusch is extremely good at capturing. And I’m also gonna need every movie from now on to include a scene where Cate Blanchett talks to herself, please and thank you.

May singing Turbines/Pigs altered my brain chemistry… I don’t know how I’m going to make it through their concert without sobbing my eyes out when I see them. Really excited for the album on friday though!!

Lesbians! In the 1930s! Woo!

I can’t put it better than many other people have, but I just have to say that this was impeccable. Such an important piece of work in today’s day and age. Done so impressively in single takes, with unbelievable performances.

The last few minutes with the dad hurt the most. “I should’ve done better” killed me, and I’m still down. 

Also this is another amazing, heartbreaking netflix miniseries to come out in the spring. The prophecy has been fulfilled since Baby Reindeer.

Adorable doesn’t even cut it

"You've made a mark on the world if you just get through it..."

Such a beautiful and intimate portrait of queer culture in 1980s New York. So vibrant, spirited and rhythmic despite its context of struggle and isolation. Just people expressing themselves in every way they can.

"Some of them say that we're sick, we're crazy. And some of them think that we are the most gorgeous, special things on Earth."

It ain’t no Parasite but it’s alright, Robert Pattinson carries, I love his voices. Seriously one of the best actors on the scene today.

Side note: I’m definitely going to have nightmares about Mark Ruffalo’s character tonight… especially his smile. He was one creepy dude.

The cut to them standing there as children is absolutely DIABOLICAL

I will never recover

I love films where nothing happens but everything happens simultaneously. Quiet contemplation, rising tension, envy and obsession. All presented with such a distinct rhythm.

Honestly the most beautiful film I’ve seen in a while.

Excellent use of free will in a film 

That’s all I can really think of to say… otherwise I’m speechless… and slightly traumatised… but also very impressed

Apparently Barbara Loden was the first woman ever to direct, write and star in her own feature film: this film. That in itself is extraordinary, she was a real trailblazer for women in film. Respect. 

This film was a real treat as well and right up my alley: an independently made character study with beautiful cinematography. AAAAA I LOVED IT. 

I just read that someone referred to Barbara Loden as the female counterpart to John Cassavetes, and I can really see where they’re coming from. Same sense of realism and tone. Shame she never managed to make her second film, I would have loved to see it.

David Thewlis was amazing at playing the most insufferable character

Everyone needs a friend like René

Growing older is so scary…
I thought this would be a comfort movie, but nope, I just feel sad
Very funny though, especially the justin bieber sequence and the little brother’s saoirse ronan obsession hahah
P.S I love you Aubrey Plaza, hope you are healing

FUCK YES SEAN BAKER

This film is a comedy underlined twice, I couldn’t stop laughing. But it was also really moving, especially the last scene. Mikey Madison deserved the oscar. So did Sean Baker, all four of them. Love love love this!

Also Igor is an icon.

I’m convinced that this film is a part of my DNA. Every scene is a poem to me. I have never identified more with a character than I do with Sophie. The last dance is forever etched in my mind. I miss my childhood. What a masterpiece. My favourite film ever. I’m crying so much.

Peak british humour!!

Shaun and Ed are goals, Liz is the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen and David was a real twat.

Also why is Bill Nighy in every movie ever?

Better than I was expecting!!! I’ve had Bob Dylan on repeat the last few weeks, so naturally I loved every musical act.

Timmy was really good too! Let’s see who gets the oscar on Sunday… I’m rooting for Adrien, Colman (even though I haven’t seen either of their performances yet) and of course Timothée.

Taxi 1 (L.A.)- I can’t tell you how excited I became when Gena Rowlands first popped up. Felt like I was in a Cassavetes film. I LOVE her.

Taxi 2 (NYC)- BRO HELMUT AND YO-YO WERE FUCKING HILARIOUS. AND ANGELA TOO. Loved the New York atmosphere here!

Taxi 3 (Paris)- The karma at the end was really funny. 

Taxi 4 (Rome)- I was equally as disturbed as I was entertained by Roberto Benigni’s character. That shit was crazy.

Taxi 5 (Helsinki)- I’ve actually never seen a happy finnish character. But it was a very touching story.

All in all I thought this was an amazing depiction of day-to-day life. I’ll have to check out more of Jarmusch’s stuff!

Ranking:
1. NYC
2. L.A.
3. Rome 
4. Helsinki
5. Paris

The Miles Davis score was the highlight for me

I love films that portray family dynamics realistically and beautifully

I heard someone once say that humans are very kind beings if they get the time and space to be so. And I think that is the definition of this film.

Thank you Lynch.

“Go and love some more”

I also want to be sunflower (or a daisy) and plant trees and steal cars and play the banjo and pretend to commit seppuku (to get out of a date) and live in a bus and drink oat straw tea and go to funerals (for fun) and do somersaults on hills and listen to cat stevens. 

Ahhhh I LOVE these characters and I LOVE this film

“Why should you and I hate each other?”

An absolute killer of a film. It’s so thematically rich and the title can be interpreted in so many ways. Love love love. Kurosawa is a master.

That scene where Anna Karina dances by herself was amazing, loved the vibes

Also this is my 800th film!! Yay!!
