  Crazy movie. Tightest most high-blood pressure Cassavetes movie?

  Staggering combination of unusually imaginative filmmaking where the reveals really are like new galaxies forming in front of your eyes, and deeply emotional storytelling driven by nuanced yet raw performances from the actors. Fuck 💔

  Autumn Sonata 1978

  ★★★★★ Watched 06 Jul 2023

  Ouchhhhh. Liv Ullman’s monologue about humans being limited only by their fears and the certainty of many parallel realities and the scene where she plays Chopin for Ingrid Bergman and then Ingrid plays it for her…worth it alone for those.

  The Deepest Breath 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 17 Sep 2023

  Pretty fascinating and intense. A little cheesy inevitably in how they valorize the two protagonists but still very moving. A good watch for a Sunday eve with some homemade soup.
