i’ve seen a million horror movies and this one has definitely scared me the most. its the creepiest genre, ‘something is wrong but everyone else is it on it’. check out the stepford wives (1975) and society (1989) if you want more of it

riotgrrrl society is absolutely nasty and gross, but the effects are stunning so i’d say it’s worth it. just a heads up if you don’t like gore/goo

“On March 10, 1977, 43-year-old film director Roman Polanski was arrested and charged in Los Angeles with six offenses against Samantha Gailey (now Geimer), a 12-year-old girl: unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, a lewd and lascivious act upon a child under the age of 14, and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor. At his arraignment, Polanski pleaded not guilty to all charges, but later accepted a plea bargain whose terms included dismissal of the five more serious charges in exchange for a guilty plea to the lesser charge of engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.”

Bitter Moon
“Here piggy, piggy!” From a bondage-clad Emmanuelle Seigner whipping her asshole of a husband Peter Coyote, while he writhes around on the floor in a porcine mask, to an uptight Kristin Scott Thomas lezzing off on the dancefloor on a depressing New Year's Eve cruise, as a bereft Hugh Grant looks on, Roman Polanski’s erotic thriller is basically just a study of how power works in relationships, but with potentially more drastic consequences like maiming and murder.

Birth by jonathan glazer
I had never heard of this film until the other day, despite it coming out in 2004, starring Nicole Kidman, who is sporting the chicest of pixie cuts, and having an aesthetic/tone/vibe that lights up all my pleasure centres (shot in NYC, grey/pink colour palette, opens on a long tracking shot set to intense classical music). I think the reason I hadn't heard about the film was because it was so marred in controversy at the time of release because of its subject matter. Without giving too much away, Nicole's character is a widow who meets a 10-year-old boy who tells her he is her dead husband. People were up in arms about the idea of adult Nicole potentially being in love with a child. That said, all the criticism felt like it was coming from people who had heard about the plot rather than actually having seen the film, which just so happens to be a soulful, sensitive and intelligent meditation on grief and love.
Watch it, I beg of you!

being a fan
as we all (pi fyi users) know, being into shit is cool. i’ve been thinking about how in the early days of facebook rather than liking pages you would “become a fan” of them and i just love that verbage. so sweet and precious
