    The music rules. Pete Falk’s role in this is rivaled only by De Niro in Brazil.

    The 400 Blows

    ★★★★★

    My favorite movie of all time. The greatest performance of all time. Drips with New Wave style which amplifies its sincerity, instead of alienating the viewer. It’s a steadfast of humanity during a time when Godard shepherded French cinema towards the age of irony.

    An epic spanning politics, art, social dynamics and our own collective psyche. What happens when our righteousness comes into conflict with society? In this film, we observe the different possible responses, from creativity to savagery. A pastoral story set in a city, a bildungsroman with no absolution, a Taiwanese film invaded by the West - this film produces comedy and tragedy by projecting our own miniature rebellions.

    I think this is the best iteration of Twin Peaks, fiercer and more visceral than the first two seasons yet more sympathetic and at its core sincere than the return.
