Berlin Horse 1970
Malcolm Le Grice‘s canonical 1970 avant-garde film Berlin Horse was his first full-length experiment with manipulation of the image. The film is essentially combined in two parts.

I am a fan of Sean Baker, basically because he does what he wants, even if I don't always like it, there's always a sense of lightness wrestling with dark undertones and a bit of a rollercoaster towards a climax (or an anti-climax) to put it simply. I really liked the last scene in this, the rest could have been shortened quite a bit and not lost any impact, however sadly it didn't have the impact I'd hoped for as a whole. Still, there are sporadic moments I appreciate, and I will watch whatever he makes next.

Juror #2 2024
Weirdly like a tv movie for conservatives. Actually, it’s not weird, because it’s classic Clint Eastwood. The dialogue is unnatural, there are slightly odd transitions, it displays bad acting from people who might be good actors otherwise, and every bit of thematic symbolism was overstated. I know people will enjoy this for what it is but we should be expecting better quality filmmaking - even the makeup was noticeably bad in one scene. Anyway, at least Clint is true to himself in terms of making it his own.

Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets 2020
film of the year for me. it’s so simple and genuine yet it feels like an elegy, like a poem. feels like you’ve been at a shitty bar for the night with a bunch of strangers.
