    A great movie to rewatch, years after the tumblr induced haze. Cultural propaganda for France, after all these years I am still quite charmed by all the whimsy, meddling, prop/set/costume design 

    incredible pairing with spinach pasta, gossip, strawberries n cream, friends dozing off on couch

    Also insane how Matthieu kassovitz directed la haine and then six years later stared in this….

    Jesse eisenberg and kieran culkin smoking on a roof in Poland may not be my dream blunt rotation but it’s a solid contender ! Congrats kieran on the win 🥳

    tender and absurd piece of Canadiana. The framing was so beautiful, I have always gravitated towards a stark visual style like this. I enjoyed how circular the story felt. Currently do not have many thoughts about the themes as play here but overall this was such an amusing and relaxing experience lol 

    I wish persian brutalist Tim Hortons was real

    ★★★★½

    beautiful beautiful beautiful

    I loved this overall, but I found the most joy in within particular moments, little bits of auditory/visual cleverness and beauty that made me gasp/smile. This review could just be a list of these moments of pure appreciation. I wish I could touch and smell this movie (sometimes I came close)

    things I connected with: feeling of reverence/yearning for the past almost to the point of profanity, Orpheus tendencies

    walking out of the cinema with a good feeling and a belly full of $1 dollar carnitas tacos.
