Wow that was a slow slow burn which is what the film is about. But I can’t deny that it was expertly done and it isn’t easy to make you that stressed out about guys driving some trucks for 2 hrs and there were some really awesome shots.

The Brutalist 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Immediate thoughts:
-What a fantastic opening scene
-Kinda homoerotic—we would find out why
-A discordant theme throughout the movie, trauma underlying all the characters, lots of perversity—what a twisted ending
-not subtle with its symbolism
-Though the Pantavision and watching in 70mm was beautiful, I think the cinematography was at its best when the camera went woosh, camera swinging across the scene
-strong editing with the use of voiceovers and archival footage in the first half, tho the archival footage…

A Separation 2011
A kind of Iranian Neo-Realism done almost flawlessly, the characters and their unfortunate lives constantly draw you in as the film keeps showing you how unfair and incomprehensible life can be—fantastic acting, ‘realism’, and narrative; perfectly captured the struggle of everyday life.
