Night and Fog 1956
Finished Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald today, and felt it was time to watch this documentary. The images left me with a feeling of blankness and horror. I was confused by the choice of music.

Mononoke the Movie: The Phantom in the Rain 2024
THE RETURN OF THE FUCKING KING
Additional thoughts: First of all, the Medicine Seller is so hot and so badass. I should just fill every slot of my four favorites with this movie poster so his face is everywhere. The animation style is enrapturing, almost overwhelming, and quite unique (as far as what I’ve seen). And beyond the thrilling action, I love how the Form, Truth, and Reason of the mononoke, which the Medicine Seller must seek, set the framework for a moving, personal story. Edo-period Japan has rarely been so gorgeously haunted!
