@caitiedelaney Hear me out though: this, but it’s John Waters looming over Baltimore

@UpdateTheGrids Mute Witness and Spider (1992) are both worth watching. 4 (2004) is not a horror but is strange and interesting and transgressive. Dead Man’s Letters (1986) is really great but more of an apocalyptic sci-fi.

@UpdateTheGrids Re: Platform / Zhangke, Unknown Pleasures might be only tangentially related to this rock & roll kids theme but I thought that was some kind of generation-defining masterpiece

@UpdateTheGrids Ah right I need to rewatch that. Have you seen We Are The Best?

I loooove when a movie ends on the darkest, bleakest, most demoralizing, hopeless, dismal note with no moment of relief and just leaves me feeling completely empty inside

He shows his men a film (importantly, produced and edited by the French authorities), and for a moment, we, the viewer, are watching the film-within-a-film alongside the French soldiers.

[Jarrett Spiegel @JarrettSpiegel]

Suddenly, we find ourselves watching a French Lieutenant Colonel briefing his men on the nature of the “enemy,” which is of course a broad stroke representing the entire spectrum of life we’ve been getting to know over the last hour.

Watching Shoah for the first time I was struck by this composition, where a child survivor of the Holocaust, now a grown man, is received by the people of his former village, framed to suggest angel wings and a golden crown floating above his head
