Godard by way of the aftermath of the end of history, Godard by way of digital haze, Varda by way of Xavier: Renegade Angel, where one day distorts through time and space and almost becomes nightmarish. the vulgarity of gig work.
never have I seen something so interested in and so bitter about digital interfaces and digital production, film history, post-communism, and the internet! which weighs heavily throughout the film, simply by the way it looks!
the smartest and most reflective thing I’ve seen all year, a must watch if you have MUBI!

every beautiful work of film is at the same time an expression of the artist's political critiques and their own freaky fantasies and this one's no exception, truly beautiful stuff

Echo the shouts for Rohmer, Varda, and Godard here too, naturally.

not sure if it can well and truly be called a french new wave film for a lot of reasons (not quite french, not released in precisely the right time period, etc.) but i think a good entry point to the kind of surrealist, vibes-oriented as opposed to narrative-oriented filmmaking that "foreign films" (especially European) tend to evoke / get clowned for in American media
it's funny, it's bizarre, it has something to say but you might need a couple watches to get it (at least i did)

so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
