The damned by visconti

Only half way through and have maybe conflicted feelings about this film, which tracks an industrialist familys various foibles and debaucheries in the early years of the third reich But If you’re going to watch a film that takes this approach to the subject— focusing on politics and morality, aristocratic degeneration, the particular place of family drama in history— I think it’s a pretty good one. There’s a sort of tragic Shakespearean valence to it all Good “european art house film about fucked up rich people” movie

make movies weird and sexy again

Titane (2021) — For car fetishists and David Cronenberg lovers and possibly no one else (and if you like it, also watch Crash!) Tetsuo the Iron Man (1989) — Short and relentless little stop motion movie. I made the critical mistake of eating rice during my first watch (do not do this!!!) Knife + Heart (2018) — neo-giallo + just so so good

All of us strangers (2023)

Warning: this takes gut wrenching to a dangerous level. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. It is so affecting that I don’t think I could watch it again but I’m so glad I’ve seen it. Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal‘s performances take spectacular to another level. It made me feel a lot of things and very deeply unnerved and sad for a long time after watching. It is brilliant.

The CINEMA OF KATHRYN BIGELOW

I hesitate to say her movies are ’about’ masculinity (they’re actually about sadism), but since AMERICAN PSYCHO is the jumping off point, he r ouevre feels appropo to cite. Random aside… One of my fav observations/quips I’ve read about a film was re: ZERO DARK THIRTY, we nt something like “Even though Jessica Chastain is the star, ZD30 fails the Bechdel test. There’s only one s cene of her and a woman are having a private conversation, and wouldn’t you know it, the conversation is about a man (Osama bin Laden).“
