  No Hard Feelings 2023

  ★★½ Rewatched 25 Mar 2025 1

  Watched it with my mom had a nice time

  Was really bland on a rewatch. Some jokes hit most were okay

  Persona 1966

  ★★★★ Rewatched 25 Mar 2025 1

  This feels a lot more religious on a rewatch

  It feels almost that the two woman represent the duality of Bergman's own artistry: his religiously pure side and his religiously sinful side, the latter being a greater indulgence of his liberties as an artist that breaks the religious doctrines of the prior

  Ultimately such schizophrenia amalgamates to form the same artistic identity: Ingmar Bergman

  This is my conjecture

  As haunting and intentionally convoluted as the first watch

  After watching May December and Portrait of A Lady On Fire I can really see the influence of this film take shape

  Dancer in the Dark 2000

  ★★★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  I've never held my breath for so long

  I've never been so pissed off watching a film

  I've never viscerally felt death standing next to me

  I've never felt this shattered yet strangely hopeful

  I hate you Lars Von Trier

  One of the best performances I've ever seen

  Yes this is a "musical"

  Is she selfish or selfless, this film is full of paradoxical rhetorics that questions the intent and nature behind her decions and actions

  It is this built up ambivalence to existence that feels like life is ending; but of course, it didn't, even if it did

  This isn't the last song

  The Worst Person in the World 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Mar 2025 1

  A "comfort" watch after watching Dancer in the Dark

  A film about a woman figuring out what she wants in life. Reminiscent of Frances Ha. The conversation bits gave me a hint of the Before trilogy

  I found this very very funny

  Performances were subtle whilst maintaining tenderness, melancholy, charisma, and rawness

  I really liked the score

  That mushroom sequence was so out of pocket I loved it

  Trier's direction was whimsical when it needed to be but really backed…
