Nosferatu 1922
"From the seed of Belial came forth the vampire Nosferatu."
My first time watching a silent film and, boy, what an experience. It's very likely that my predisposition to enjoy anything Nosferatu-related influenced my opinion on this, but that ain't nothing against it, no. It is, in fact, a good thing. I could be feeling disappointed for expecting more than a 1922 silent, mostly colorless, movie could offer, but, on the contrary, I'm infinitely glad with what was delivered to…Translated from by -
Raw 2016
"You couldn't try something other than my finger?"
"You taste like curry."When I first watched Raw, I was 18 years old. Back then, I still had no better understading of myself and admiting my taste for the unconventional was still something difficult for me to do. I had just begun my journey through self-discovery, and, after watching this, I felt disgust, yes, but also, I was left with a deep sentiment of fascination, some type of awe that I…

Caligula: The Ultimate Cut 2023
I should've watched this version only, would've saved me so much time and patience. Imagine having this gem and absolutely destroying it in favor of realeasing the garbage that was released back in 1979, I would've killed myself if I was Gore Vidal and saw how completely butchered my work had been.
(Shout out to Teresa Ann Savoy as Drusilla. She will always have my entire fucking heart.)

Caligula 1979
The difference between this film and a hallucinatory fever dream is almost non existent. I still have no idea what was trying to be achieved here, maybe the editors were having a bad week when working on it because it is nearly unacceptable. Nothing makes sense here. The storytelling is literally awful. The cuts are absolutely nonsensical. I finished this only cause I was fueled by hatred.

Anora 2024
The phrase “sex work is work” has become something of a liberal tick, a knee-jerk response from establishment figures in politics, media and the arts to acknowledge the shifting social attitudes around prostitution without asserting material gains like decriminalizing sex work or codifying legal and civil protections for sex workers. Or, in Baker’s case, to avoid giving us a complex depiction of a sex worker. Instead, Anora embodies the dehumanizing consumer fantasy of a devoted worker who loves the consumer…

Inside Daisy Clover 1965
imagine not having one single moment of peace, not even to unalive yourself. god. i would've succumbed much sooner than miss daisy clover. and i'm also starkly afraid of having such a visceral reaction to my mother's death that i just stop functioning utterly and completely. i see you, daisy clover, you have all my undying empathy.
(robert redford was a bitch in this, but having him wiping make up off natalie wood's face ever so intimately in one scene and kissing the top of her nose ever so sweetly in another was kinda worth it to me.)
