It doesn’t know what it means

Deranged horse girl shit

…

The atmosphere. The energy. The hope. The funnnn

Feels like Miyazaki’s magnum opus

Debauchery!

I will not forget it

The prettiest horror I ever did see

I want those stockings with the bows so bad

Beautiful stop motion animation. Incredible world building. Plot a little loose but I don’t mind because Guillermo

Fun and mean and very entertaining

One to think on. A marriage falling apart to come back together.

Puzzling early Fellini. Nostalgic and comedic and tragic in its own way

Protofeminist noir about a woman searching for the clues to clear her boss from a murder charge. Excellent dialogue, beautiful shots of foggy New Yorks nights

Precious. Potentially anti-capitalist?

Weird Irish shenanigans

Watched on Friday November 4, 2022.

Deeply weird. Deeply unsatisfiying ending.

Winona Ryder is excellent. Escalates quickly and maybe there are some loose ends left over but fun and fashionable nonetheless.

Campy excellence

So much smarter than it first appears. Heavily queer coded. Takes on misogyny and sapphic friendship and abuse of women in a campy, early 2000s bubblegum aesthetic played straight. One to rewatch.

Interesting that it was written by a lesbian feminist director. Lots to unpack. 3 left alive.

Rewatched. The set design is just so compelling and exciting. Maybe the ending is sort of eh, but it’s fun.

Gorgeous cinematography and costuming. Wish there was more written about it online-definitely worth a rewatch. The scene where they put the glass bowl over his face! Crazy!

Started strong but turned our way less interesting than the style and premise promised.

Am now convinced that Nic Cage is a good actor

Very Jane Eyre. Extraordinarily costuming and set design. A period film in which the period in question only exists in your imagination. This movie stresses me out.

Excellent shots of San Fran. Really gorgeous and beautiful score. Didn’t end as dramatically as I wanted but a fun ride.

Reads like a 70’s porno and I loved it. Fashion was iconic, not stellar acting but great fun

Confounding, to say the least. I believe that not only is it leftist but also a condemning critique of gender roles under capitalism. But I need to do more reading. Funny and horrifying in turns. Worth a rewatch.

Made me contemplate emotional complexities I never considered before. Fun and wild. Extraordinarily strange love triangle. All the drama in a slow burn French way

Gorgeous costumes! Beautiful sets! So fun!

I loved it! Great dialogue. Lots of personality and a very fun premise- woman with cruel, possessive husband falls in love with a headwaiter one night in Paris. They spend the rest of the film trying to get back to each other. Great pacing and quite romantic.

Pretty but tired plot and problematic tropes.

Gorgeous camera work. Fascinating metatextual piece. Star studded cast.

Deceptively simple plot hidden under convoluted double agent trappings. Funny and weird and exciting! Took me about 20 minutes to get it but once I did very enjoyable

Glamor glamor glamor. The men are shitty assholes. The women are stylish. The design is compelling. Glossy, upper middle class tragedy.

Wow beautiful cinematography and sparkling dialogue. Tragic ending. One to think on for awhile

Crazy final scene! Interesting relationship to disability and alternative communities.

Unbelievable gorgeous cinematography. So endeared toward the titular village. Slow but lots of interesting dialogue.

Amazing visuals and special effects. Excellent acting. Strange politics.

Went places I could never have anticipated! Some of the wildest fight scenes I’ve ever seen. Genuinely moving. Had me on the edge of my seat.

Wow. What happens to Otsu? Does he ever know happiness? That final fight scene. Akemi’s descent and redemption arcs. The bandit sequence. A fitting conclusion to the trilogy

Just happy to have watched the next installment of the samurai trilogy
