  Aftersun 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  What an amazing use of non-linear storytelling. Can’t believe I really thought I could walk away from this unscathed… there’s a crossfade in this that I think is gonna haunt me forever. Fantastic movie that really comes together at the end in every way

  Punch-Drunk Love 2002

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 14 Feb 2025

  Love is funny and absurd and loud and clumsy and earnest and so, so, so wonderful.

  Beau Travail 1999

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 19 May 2024 1

  Awe-inspiring and imposing filmmaking. Claire Denis is ruthless in her portrayal of masculinity: there’s a primordial, volatile, and unpredictable force that bubbles up and steers the relationships between these men — it’s tragic in its beauty and unavoidable downfall. Men will literally go to another country and engage in ancient rituals with one other instead of going to therapy. The last scene is a miracle. This is the rhythm of the night.
