Floating Weeds

1959

★★★★ Watched

beautiful images that evoke the feeling of the past and present merging as one. i always get the feeling time is both slowing down and speeding right past us when watching an Ozu movie

Lola

1981

★★★★ Liked Watched

great colors, cool sets, and i really enjoyed the scene where Lola lets loose on stage. all of Fassbinder’s contextual references interspersed with the musical accompaniment gave the movie an elegant pace. ending stings as always..

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

1964

★★★ Watched

nice credits, looks great but now i’m worried i’ve lost my sense of humor. peter sellers did a good job

Showing Up

2022

★★★★ Liked Watched

the amount of time the camera settles on subject and scene make it’s world so vivid and textured. language, faces, objects have a potency that rings true. i liked whenever i could catch a glimpse of the details in her sculptures and so many nice compositions of light entering space. feels very familiar
