    Beau Travail

    ★★★½

    one of my favourite dance films - choreography of militarised violence. Scenes not set on the battle field or in the physical terrorising of colonised people and environments. Instead, dancing violence manifests in everyday domesticities, feelings of alienation, training routines and dancing out at night.

  • The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

    The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

    Shall I sing for you?


    Disgust and Degustation. With heart-wrenching loss and a bbq'd cock on the menu, the innocent revenge for capitalist consumption and greed is captured in a week’s worth of dishes.

  • The Killing of a Sacred Deer

    The Killing of a Sacred Deer

    ★★★★

    Magic realism meets visual/audio horror. Lanthimos’ monotone-voice motif makes it hard to discern which of the characters is the most out of their mind. Perhaps they all are.

  • Shoplifters

    Shoplifters

    ★★★½

    a heartwarming insight into the (un)conventional family
