  Accattone 1961

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  Unorganized thoughts:
  - La Chimera took a little too much from this. In retrospect, that film feels more like a retelling than an original film. With that out of the way, Pasolini sure knows how to build. 
  - In its depiction of poverty, I feel this film shares similarities with the work of Ousmane Sembène. 
  - Though no connection could be found on the internet, they refer to the prostitutes as “poor thing.” Curious given the main character embraces prostitution…

  Gigi 1958

  ★★ Watched 01 Oct 2024

  Fantastic costume and location. Not a fan of the plot here, the story meanders, the songs are not strong—there’s not much here to like.

  The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 27 Sep 2023

  I knew this would succeed where the last 3 Wes Anderson’s films had failed because Roald Dahl is a phenomenal writer and Wes is unfortunately only slight better than average. 
  This was fantastic from start to finish and it fulfills a genre I would like to grow: movies that feel like books.
