A truly terrible mega pretentious flop of a film that shows how out of touch our elites are, beware of old men talking about Ancient Rome!!! But watching this at Peckhamplex was one hell of a night… as the story/dialogue/aesthetic sensibility got more and more incoherent normal cinema etiquette was completely thrown out the window, ppl were laughing and shouting at the screen, I love a packed out audience experience <3
went to the NY premiere last night which had a Q&A w Francis + Robert De Niro and Spike Lee insane movie. earnest/optimistic Southland Tales vibes for sure. it's a beautiful opulent mess, definitely try to see it.
I got to see this twice in theaters back in September 2024. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about this film multiple times. It’s absolutely brilliant.
i sense the most reliable path to true contentment and fulfilment in this life may be found by focusing not on ‘what will make me happy’ but on ‘how can I be useful to those I love and my community’.... the two are by no means mutually exclusive and i believe the first can only ever be found through the second.
