  The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant 1972

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 May 2024

  Visually baroque, conceptually Barthes-ian:

  Am I in love? --yes, since I am waiting. The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover's fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits.  —from A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments

  Atlantics 2019

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 17 Jan 2023

  think about this movie all the time for absolutely no reason at all. maybe the most vivid / versatile ocean cinematography there's been - transcendental, mystifying, wild, frightening, yummy - claire mathon could get it. Fatima Al Qadiri's score. Dakar at night in neon. complex moods. politically alert but sensual. literally haunting. can recommend !! sponsored by STIIIZY
