Wise Old Little Boy 2004
This has always been a special watch for me. These guys are in this unique moment before the internet changes indie music forever, touring around the essentially barren inland northwest, concerned about connecting to their audiences, authenticity, conveying ideas, and making them stick. Portrait of the wandering artists as young men. A beautiful cultural artifact.

Harvest 2024
The most-liked reviews on here are criminally low. I suppose it's obvious that a feudal-capitalist village drama won't have many takers (see the low take-up for Lapvona), but there's a lot going on here and I'm here for it.
A big team effort that shows. Weeks of rehersal together, and Tsangari in the talk-back referred to the cast/crew as a troupe, which you can see on the screen and I love the idea of. Wonderfully believable performances all around, beautifully…
